Here’s How To Watch March Madness At Work Without Your Boss Finding Out

If you’re anything like me, you love work! Spreadsheets, meetings, elevator chit-chat about the weather, the office is heaven and life is a never-ending dream from which I hope I never wake. Saturdays? For bozos. Sundays? Hard pass. Give me some of that sweet, sweet, Monday morning office action, baby! Productivity! Corporate synergy! Conversations about fonts!

Okay, now that all the suits are off daydreaming about Times New Roman vs. Helvetica, I can share a quick life hack that’ll allow you to watch March Madness at your desk without your boss finding out. It’s an easy three-step process:

 

1. Blatantly Ignore Your Job By Avoiding Anything Remotely Resembling Actual Work

Point: You should honor and respect your employer by doing the job you’re being paid to perform.

Counterpoint: It’s Friday, baby! *emoticon with the fun hat and noise-maker* *lightning bolt emoticon* * a picture of Mr. Monopoly because you can tell that guy knows how to party*

2. Live Stream The NCAA Tourney At Your Computer Via NCAA’s March Madness Live

But what about your boss? What if they walk by?! If you look below, the NCAA and Playstation Vue have teamed up to provide a “Boss Button.”

If the ol’ work ball and chain is walking past your desk, just click the button located in the upper right corner and it’ll take you to an innocuous screen that looks like the typical gibberish we’re all forced to endure for 40-60 hours a week, 260 days of the year!

No cable login? No problem! March Madness Live offers three free hours streaming before you need a cable login.

3. Don’t Feel Guilty About Watching March Madness At Work

You work hard, dammit! I mean, probably. I don’t know you. Regardless, don’t feel bad about taking a few extra hours for yourself. You earned it. Probably. Again, I DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Be careful, don’t get caught, and most importantly, enjoy March Madness.
