February 23, 201214 yr Okay, so putting it into context, it really isn't the worse news ever, but... Just found out today that we have an extremely important training March 15th & March 22rd, which will last all afternoon. I have been planning on taking those afternoons off since October because watching the NCAA tournament, no matter who is playing, is my absolute favorite thing to do and I'm not exaggerating in any way. What makes matters worse, I checked and if Kentucky plays in Lousville (which it looks like they will) they are scheduled to play in the Thursday/Saturday slot. If they play an afternoon game, I'm going to have to miss their First Round and their Sweet 16 game (assuming they win). In context of all the bad things that happen to people, it really isn't a big deal. However, it is something that I look forward to every single year. I purposefully save days to take off for the tournament (maybe one day when I have a family, I will have other priorities). When I got the e-mails this morning I felt just an awful feeling in my stomach haha! Someone please feel my pain, maybe we can request that Kentucky gets slotted for the night games. Either way, I'm still bummed that I'm going to miss out on a lot of basketball. :cry::cry::cry: Edited February 23, 201214 yr by MJAlltheWay24
February 23, 201214 yr I am very sorry to hear that. I hope you will have smartphone access during the meeting.
February 23, 201214 yr Try being an accountant at a public accounting firm...I'm lucky to catch a single game of the first weekend until Saturday night.
February 23, 201214 yr I would think they keep UK for the evening "primetime" slot. Why? People are going to be watching all day no matter what. It hasn't stopped them from played afternoon games in the past.

Atlanta is a March 23rd and 25th site, so the Sweet Sixteen game will be a conflict, but I'm pretty sure they start those games at 7:00 PM.
February 23, 201214 yr Author Are you sure you have your dates right....March 16th and 23rd are Fridays....Louisville is a Thursday/Saturday site, so assuming UK is there, you should get to watch the first two rounds.

But I have the meetings on the 15th and 22nd...the Thursday.
February 23, 201214 yr Author I am very sorry to hear that. I hope you will have smartphone access during the meeting. We are doing some really important OSHA training, definitely won't be using a smartphone unfortunately. I'm just bummed to miss any of the games, but keeping my fingers crossed. I've been spoiled the past few years I guess haha!
February 23, 201214 yr Sorry, I fixed it. I was looking at the wrong month. But I have the meetings on the 15th and 22nd...the Thursday. Well look on the bright side then....You'll get to watch the UK Sweet Sixteen game on the 23rd!
February 23, 201214 yr I could diagnose you with the "once-a-week" flu, that just happens to hit you on a Thursday.
February 23, 201214 yr I could diagnose you with the "once-a-week" flu, that just happens to hit you on a Thursday. I'd go with this. :lol:
February 23, 201214 yr I expect UK to either be the noon game or a prime time game. All the Sweet 16 games are prime time games aren't they?
February 23, 201214 yr I feel your pain. My son's team is most likely to host the South Regional tourney for D2, and I have to be in Turkey that week.
