March Madness
So that time is upon us again. Where work stops and play begins. What am I referring to? That’s right, that thing called March Madness.
It’s a time where the cats hide and the mice come out to play. March Madness is a great time of the year. I think it’s the one true time where everything really stops and people come out to cheer on their alma mater. And people come out to root against their despised rivals. There’s upsets and glory. And there’s heartbreak and the agony of defeat. With all of this glory and heartbreak come the brackets, which people enter either for the reward of money or purely bragging rights.
The great thing about March Madness is that in the early rounds, there are games all day, starting bright and early at like 9am. So what’s better than being able to watch some college tourney bball at 9am? WORK of course!!! hehe just kidding. kinda….The awesome thing CBS has done this year is given everybody and I mean everybody the chance to watch every single game. The typical way of watching some games is either at home on your own television or going to a sports bar where many games are being shown at once. Here you can relive the spoils of victory and the agony of defeat with those closest to you and those you don’t even know. Now what does this mean for the average person who has to work during the day and can’t watch those early morning games? Well CBS has decided to stream all of the games over the internet. So any luckless soul who has the unfortunate blessing to be at work has the ability to watch all the games too! Plus they get the chance to watch any of the games! Not just the ones CBS decides to air in their region. Now you might ask, how can you manage to watch games while not letting your boss catch you being unproductive? Well on CBS’s media viewer, they created this: 
. That’s right, the boss button. It’s such a great thing. Now if you’re watching and your boss is about to pass by, all you do is click on the and it’ll bring up “work”. It’s amazing. I recommend you all try it.
