It's Thursday and even though I cranked out like three new, relatively long blog posts at work, I wanted to take a moment and confess I will not win money on the World Cup. That's right, I'm officially out of the office bracket pool with Netherlands failing to advance against Argentina.

It's all good though! The Europeans in this office all did REALLY badly during the World Cup brackets so they are hungry to prove themselves in some other sport. Add in the fact that the 3 most likely winners are Americans who really only watch World Cup soccer, the big soccer fans have a huge chip on their shoulders.

One other really neat thing that came out of organizing this is it really seemed to bring the office together. Since joining, I can't remember the last time a majority of the office sat down to eat lunch together (outside of welcome/goodbye lunches) and doing it during the World Cup has been a blast. Now if only they'd all sit down and do this for The International 4 this week I'd be in e-sports heaven!

I'm off to catch up on some VODs for the time being. Until next time reader! PS - Go Cloud 9!
