The Boss Button

For me, few days in the sports year are as can't miss as the first round of the NCAA tournament. But like most responsible adults, I'm stuck at work during the early games. Thankfully, in recent years you can stream any NCAA game live on your computer.

Unlike my salad days working for USU Extension (huddling around a 13" TV for hours during March Madness, tucked away in a forgotten corner of campus), I have to get some work done nowadays. As a compromise, I will have a scoreboard open throughout the day, then if a game is close going into the final few minutes, I will pull up the streaming action.

As I caught #13 Morehead State pull off the upset against #4 Louisville today (along with a handful of other fantastic finishes), I noticed something called a "Boss Button" in the upper right hand corner of the screen (follow the big white arrow). My curiosity got the better of me, I clicked, and the window transformed:

Technology is a beautiful thing, isn't it?

HA! Yeah, try sneaking in peeks while teaching 23 first graders. They kept asking me why I was screaming at my computer all day.

Too bad it still says "March Madness" at the top of the window... I suppose if your boss is looking that closely, then you'd be in trouble anyway.

That is so cool.
You can always just do what I do. I schedule my days off for these 4 days.

There's even a special edition Boss Button for Saturdays. Pretty good.
