World Cup, the End

Now that you have survived the very exciting 2010 World Cup, and more importantly the seemingly deadly vuvuzela (you might have hearing loss but who cares?), aren't you proud of yourself?  I know I am.  The bad news is there isn't any other sports that are so officially sanctioned at work, i.e. any office drone can say with a straight face that he is watching the game online or on TV in some conference room without any repercussion.  Actually it's almost encouraged, sort of a bonding thing to do, similar to the 15-minute cigarette break every hour on the hour practiced by smokers and non-smokers alike.  Sadly all good things must come to an end.  But the good news is in 2014, another World Cup will be held, and this time in Brazil and until then everybody shall be productive at work, doesn't have to pretend to know soccer to blend in, and only take his usual 15-minute cigarette break every hour on the hour only.  See you all in four years.
