Watching sports is ace and we know that like us you won’t be denied your fix by the shackles of work. Getting a sneak of the match ain’t half tricky when you’re busy with your 9 to 5 and surrounded by spying eyes…so what can you do? Well, this.
Step 1: Get your co-workers involved
First off, convince the boss that getting the whole team in on the action is a good bonding type thing. Spin some story about a happy office being a productive office and with any luck they’ll go for it. Get hold of a telly and make sure everyone’s on board, otherwise you might not get to do it again. Also, make sure everyone is paying attention; anyone who chooses not to watch could result in dissention amongst your fellow work slackers…and what could be worse than that?
Step 2: Desktop scoreboards
If you have to be even more sly then you can follow your game via live written commentary. Some dude with fast fingers outlines all the ins and outs of the game’s progress and all you have to be is not be dyslexic. It’s kinda like watching a film with subtitles except it’s easier to follow than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Step 3: Online Streaming
Many sports are now shown over the internet and if you’ve got a good broadband connection you can watch the game on the sly. Just don’t forget that the subtlety of this approach can become lost if you get too engrossed in it and forget that you’re supposed to be working.
If you can’t be bothered with all that other nonsense and you have bad eyesight and very thick skin, why not jack it all in and get a job right in the middle of it all? Good on ya son, live the dream.
