Just got busted playing OOTP at work...

Neags23 · 06-28-2007, 03:13 PM

So I'm in the middle of my league championship series, leading 2 games to 1 against my archrival (who has beaten me in the playoffs the last 2 seasons and dominates the league), when a guy comes strolling into my cubicle and says, "So, what is that baseball game you're always playing?" I didn't think anyone knew!

So, I kind of explained it to him a little. He was very impressed with how in depth the game was, but don't know if he'll be a future OOTPer or not. Might be a little too hard-core for him.

Guess I'll have to be a little more discreet in my game playing at work. Or actually do some work...

Or just put it on your resume and get an interview with the Yankees.

As long as that doesn't result in math confusion.

Umm...Neags23...I'm gonna need you to refrain from playing OOTP at work...Ok?

Neags23, has that guy started asking you for "favors" and "loans" yet?

You better get him to lay off the boards as well, because the next question he's going to get is "So, what is that baseball forum you're always reading?"

Run away if he ever asks if you have been in a Turkish prison.

I get busted at work all the time playing. But no one cares and they're not really sure what I'm doing. I only explained it to one co-worker and she thought it was awesome. But she's a baseball fan.

But I have my own office, so if I was really into it, I could close the door. lol

You know Mr. President with a country to run and all I would have thought you would refrain from playing ootp all of the time.
Unbelieveable.

Maybe this is the one thing he's actually good at.

I wouldn't even be able to get past the loading screen before someone asked what I was doing! I tip my hat to you guys that can get away with it though.

I have very rarely played at work, but it would be quite difficult to catch me doing so if I did, given the position of my cubicle within the office. I'm usually either too busy with actual work or hanging around here. I find it hard to concentrate on the game while here. Still, it is installed and I have done things like work on databases and spreadsheets related to leagues.

I was told I could play my radio at a reasonable volume ...

I play OOTP at work occassionally...

My boss doesn't mind, but then why should I mind what I do at work.
