Skipping School and Work for Games?

Do you skip a meeting to watch a game? Do you bring the meeting to the game?

Do you skip school and work for games? Is your teacher a fan too, just can't get away so you go and she says GO GO GO? Is your boss making sure you are there for the big game so he sets up a meeting? Some say, when the economy is in the tank, we got to do our best and work hard, no time off. Some say, watching a game and having a beer with a few screaming fans is the best benefit a company give these days.
Hard core fans will watch no matter what happens. They will get text messages, Twitter updates and even ask their secretary to bring in scores on little posted notes. Imagine the following exchange:

Joe: Is this crazy? Do we stop the world from working for a silly game?

Tom: Silly game you say, this is World Cup! MONDIAL! For heavens sake, in Brazil they install public screens for the poor to watch on street corners.

Joe: World Cup or not, we need to work, take care of kids, life goes on.

Tom: What good is life without real excitement. This is world domination! Man does not live by bread alone.

Joe: Man does not live at all without bread! It's hard enough to keep your job these days, you want to GIVE management an excuse to sack you?

Tom: We need to institute "Bring your boss to the game day" ~ then management will see what this is all about.
