| | An Epic Battle for the Office's TV.
There’s a war going on in many workplaces. The objective: take control of the TV.
Master the thermostat, the rest will follow!
A
group of co-workers and I enjoy watching "World's Most Amazing Videos".
There's something about laughing at the misfortune of others, usually
brought upon by stupidity. Stupidity: a perfect complement to your
lunch, next to a bag of Salt and Vinegar chips. But then there's the
office rebel, vying for control of the channel being displayed on the
TV, usually opting for a more yawn-ful "Court TV". Though both channels
feature people who aren't exactly the brightest bulb, at least there's
action in one of them--not a fight for $200 over a bad haircut.
If
you find yourself in a similar situation, here are some useful
arguments you can make to defend your desired break room's channel.
Here in such a hostile environment, the tactics vary.
-Sometimes it’s a frontal assault by a large force, usually resulting in a mass uprising to keep/change the channel.
-Sometimes
it’s a guerrilla action in which a small group creates a diversion while
an assault team attacks the cable box with swift and stealthy channel
changes.
-Then there’s the covert action. A single operative
“acquires” the remote, makes a quick adjustment and returns the remote
before it’s discovered missing.
-Finally, there’s propaganda and innuendo spread around the office by sympathizers. "Think of the children. Keep it on Spike TV."
Defending your TV against unwanted channel changes is a thankless job. But together, we can put an end to this war.
