Working somewhere with literally NO other sports fans...
« on: April 01, 2013, 09:17:38 AM »
Anybody ever landed in this spot before?

Being in sales management pretty much my whole life in one way or another, I've always been surrounded by sports fans even if they didn't share my EMAW passion.

Recently, I took a new gig due to the potential of the industry and the company's positioning in the market.  What I didn't realize is that there is literally NO other sports fans in the Dallas regional office, save for one "Georgia football t-shirt fan".

Needless to say, Monday's really suck.

In our sales office, SportsCenter is on non-stop in the break room.

Just like literally EVERY other place I've ever worked...

We had a HUGE march madness bracket pool; run by our home office.  I am the ONLY participant from the our location.

They think I'm a freak because I like sports.

ya it's pretty weird to like sports.

I never talk about sports at work. Seems kind of try hard-y. Plus my boss' favorite team is whoever he won money on last.

T's and P's, BP.
I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.

I know so much more about sports than everyone, I'd rather just talk about the weather.
