Local Professional Suspiciously Installs Computer Privacy Screen Days Before March Madness

He's been plotting all year to pull this off.

As the 383rd annual March Madness NCAA Tournament is quickly approaching, Don Didious has been preparing his office workstation to maximize his basketball intake while minimizing his changes of getting caught.

Earlier this morning, Didious was spotted putting on a privacy screen on his monitor. He has been working around the clock (9:00AM-5:00PM) to ensure he has the perfect set up, going so far as to measure the angle of his computer monitor to ensure it can’t be seen when his boss is standing feet from his desk.

Didious has also created an emergency plan for when colleagues come to ask "some dumb questions about some dumb emails." Additionally, Didious has worked all off season to improve his window minimization speed, his “focused on work” face, and his fake typing abilities.

Didious’ meticulous preparation comes after last year’s botched efforts where he amassed three “not on company time,” warnings, two “how’s your bracket doing,” callouts, and four “what do you even do here,” questions. The final blow was a devastating “Don’t even bother submitting a time card this pay period,” from his boss.

It was the loss of paycheck that finally changed something in Didious. He said, “I can’t afford to lose another check like last year, but I also need to watch 19-year-olds lose me $50 on a bracket challenge.” It was this need that kicked Didious into high gear. “I knew I needed to be better this year; I needed to create a workstation that thinly veiled my hours of basketball viewing,” he said.

Most modern-day tournament streaming sites are equipped with a “boss button” that automatically changes the window when you click it. When asked why he couldn’t just use that feature Didious said, “When you click that button different graphs pop up and everyone knows I’m too dumb to work with graphs.” After successfully installing the privacy screen, Didious is excited for this year’s tournament stating, “I don’t really care who wins as long as I am able to steal some company time to watch.”
