(My apologies to those not familiar with the term. Security administrators begrudgingly configure their content filters to block ESPN and other websites to prevent staff from constantly checking scores and updating their pools. Network administrators sweat when they see network traffic spike as staff not able to make the long “lunch” find websites streaming the games and highlights. Bosses fret over their staff’s early departure and late return from a long lunch to catch the early rounds at a local TV and fan-filled restaurant. As games play out during the workday, the number of staff calling in sick or “working from home” seems to be at flu-like levels. Office pools abound as HR departments sit on edge, afraid that they may be turning a blind eye to illegal gambling. It’s that time of year again, when men and women, boys and girls, friends and foes gather together for the ritualistic viewing of basketball, basketball and more basketball.
