Need Help For March Madness

I need help being able to access realtime scores online during March Madness. My anal employer is rationing out access to sports-related internet sites... 60 minutes per day. Is there any way to backdoor this? (Perhaps the major sports sites should take this into consideration during March Madness.)

Sorry about that, but I figured I would have been able to generate a brilliant solution within 5 minutes. I'm not cheating my boss or anybody else...I just want to be able to generate information about the greatest sporting extravaganza known to mankind while I generate enormous profits for my employer. Happy employee=happy employer...or so it would seem.

If you really are hellbent on doing this, you can get phones or pagers that do realtime sports scores (gamblers love them), and I'm sure you can set it up in time (what, 9-10 days?).

"My anal employer is rationing out access to sports-related internet sites... 60 minutes per day."
If you were the employer, how many anal minutes would you allow to your employees. Assuming you have some arithmetic ability, multiply the hourly cost, (wages, social security, unemployment insurance, group insurance, retirement, workmen's compensation, etc) vs total hours of you and your fellow sports freaks to see what this will cost your employer.
Not a small anal amount, is it?
If your anal boss is this generous, the odds are your anal employer will be out of business in a year or two and you will have to be seeking employment with a real world anal employer. Better start mentally and anally adjusting to that, if you have the anal capability.
Maybe Kerry will be elected and he and the anal DemoRats will provide you with sports related employment benefits so that you won't have to surf the net to find out how you can get your anal sports fix.
GROW UP and earn your pay.......that is what your parents had to do....... and they probably did not even know what "anal" meant.
Why do you want to watch tall, skinny, overpaid, dark skinned men, wearing long baggy shorts, play with a ball?

Happy employee=happy employer...If you're so convinced of the truth and righteousness of that, go explain to your boss and I'm sure you'll be accomodated. If that fails, reexamining your premises might be in order.

Who else do you sneak around on besides your employer/boss?
Apparently, the college basketball games mean more to you than your job or your family who depends on you financially.

Get real! 60 minutes per day of your EMPLOYER'S time, and you gripe? This is more than March Madness.
If he is anal, I must be colonless; I'd fire anyone wasting 12.5% of MY time.
Ever think about taking an unpaid leave of absence?

You remind me of a coworker of mine who deliberately comes in 40 minutes late every day. He feels completely justified and entitled to do so, but takes great pains to ensure that his boss doesn't find out.
To: Focault's Pendulum; Petronski
Dang it, I have googled furiously and can't find a picture of the Fedex commercial (doomed, DOOMED, DOOMED). Time for bed. Carry on.
To: T Minus Four
I hope your coworker is at least half as productive on the job as I am! If so, your buddy is underpaid.
To: doctor noe
(Sigh) Point is, one condition of his employment is to physically have his butt in his office for a certain number of hours per day. He agreed. Therefore, he is not fulfilling his side of the employment agreement.
Do what you want, but don't come crying to FR with a vanity if you get canned.
To: T Minus Four
My employer saw the light. The filter was removed for March Madness. Not only did I receive real-time scores, I also had extremely productive days on Thursday and Friday, despite having all my brackets go up in smoke. Thanks to all for your comments.
To: doctor noe
Good for you. Up front is the best policy. On the other hand, my coworker has been busted and severely reprimanded.
Who's your team?
