Oh christ

The NCAA tournament has started AND this is Easter weekend coming up. Work is going to be fucking hell this week.

Edit: As an explanation, pretty much every year that I've been working at the same copy store, when the NCAA tournament rolls around, we get a number of phone calls of people wanting oversize prints of the NCAA bracket chart. Do they have an original of the NCAA bracket chart? Why, no. They expect us to have a high quality, will look good when made into a 2x3 poster version just lying around. And they get upset when I tell them we don't.

As for the Easter crowd... take a normal church weekend (i.e. "DURRRRR! WHAT YOU MEAN SUNDAY IZ AFTER SATURDAY? HOW'M SPOSED TO MEMBER DAT?" and the normal lack of preparedness) and ramp it through the fucking roof. I think there's been one year in the last seven where it wasn't a festering pain in the ass.

What the hell for?

Granted I don't understand the attraction to sports at all but haven't these people hard of spreadsheets?

A lot of sports bars like big posters so their customers can easily see what the standings are....
