I'm Workin Here
Disclaimer: If you work for my employer, everything you are about to read is pure fiction. At no point during my employment with said company have I, or would I, ever waste time doing anything but working diligently and efficiently.Columbus Day treated me well, very well.
I watched hockey all afternoon. I did. And it felt damn good. Was I at home? Did I take the day off? No, not at all, I was at work all day. Then how did I watch hockey you ask? Well, I'll pretend you asked.
Apparently Center Ice became available online this year. If you are unfamiliar with Center Ice, you're either 1. Not a hockey fan, or 2. Someone living in the same general area as you were when you were born. If #2 sounds like you, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as you have HDTV. If you don't have a HDTV and you love hockey I recommend you either get one or start frequenting bars that have one. Although it might be cheaper to just by your own, and probably healthier.
The video quality was impressive. It never lagged or even did anything frustratingly common with online video. Sure I killed the bandwidth for the entire office, but I needed my hockey fix. Come to think of it, a lot of people were complaining about how slow the internet was today at work. Oops.
This is where I would usually talk about the games I watched, but due to superstitious hangups, there won't be much discussion involving the Caps @ Isles. Although it must be mentioned that the game ended 2-1 with Viktor Kozlov scoring his second goal in three games during the win. If you're thinking "Wow, the Isles are lucky to still have him" then you probably aren't aware that Mr. Kozlov was signed by Washington as a free agent in the off-season. Ouch.
So much for not commenting on that game. Talking trash is that much better when you do it against the team that let you get away.
The other game I watched was Devils @ Sens, but since I could've been hypothetically watching this at work, let's say I hypothetically had a meeting. As a result, I wouldn't comment on this game since it would remind me of the meeting that deprived me of hockey.
It's getting late and with 10 games on Wednesday, I need my rest.
