Someday I'm going to write about the good things about my job. There are a few good things mixed in with all day to day shit that drives me crazy. Someday I'll complile a list and write about them. Someday.
One of the weirder things about working where I work is most noticeable this time of year. In most offices around the US, I imagine people are starting to get excited about basketball. You know, March Madness? The small little college basketball tournament which just so happens to be the biggest gambling event of every year?
I would imagine soon there will be office pools being passed around, daily commiserating at the water cooler about Cincinatti's (or know K-State's) surprising early round loss, and shared excitement about this year's George Mason. Not so much in my office. In fact, I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person in my office that has even heard of Kevin Durant, Joachim Noah, or Greg Oden. (In a related story, I am also the only Celtics fan in the office.)
Nope. No sports in this office. If you want to hold a conversation with people in this office, it better be about babies, politics, or the rising price of gas. (Of course, everyone checks in daily on the status of the wedding planning. This, they understand.) Needless to say, talking about fantasy sports is a no go.
As I haven't been fired or quit my job yet, looks like I should be prepared for another March Madness of cheering alone in my office, sadly watching scores scroll by on the ESPN score updater thingy, letting out barely audible wahoos whenever there's an upset. Sweetness.
