So I arrived at work this AM

Fully intending to skip lunch and take a vacation Hour so I could watch the opening day game at the local VFW while drinking cheap American lager and eating popcorn.

I fire up the computer and open Outlook and what do I see?

My Boss has scheduled a "Team Huddle" in the conference room starting an hour and a half after 1st pitch.

Fucking Redsox fans, I'm telling ya. He did this ON PURPOSE

I live in west STL county and sent your comment to my cube mate - a good friend and die-hard Cards guy. He got a chuckle out of it and agrees with you.

He can't wait for 1pm!

Other wise I have to go outside and watch on my phone.

Who schedules a meeting at 2:45 on opening day?
