Day One

Some people go overboard decorating their house for christmas, some people create full out haunted houses for a halloween, and I have March Madness.  From the Daily Quickie:

There is no afternoon in sports like the first two days of the NCAA Tournament. I heard a stat yesterday that companies suffer a $1.8 billion productivity loss around the Big Dance.

And I think that was just time spent filling out brackets ... it doesn't include The Great Check-Out -- normally hard-working employees frantically refreshing the ESPN.com "scoreboard" page all day long.

Just remember the magic keystroke: Alt-Tab. 

Don't forget you still have time to fill out a bracket if you want to compete in the .NET Tourney challenge.  Here's the info for signing up.

Oh, and if you care, it's on $1.4 billion dollars of lost work.
