Pathetic Professionalism

Wow, I never knew you could watch TV in the office. It's amazing how some coworkers just turned on the TV in the boardroom and started watching the NCAA basketball tourney. It's quite unprofessional on their part. I would understand if they were watching the budget announcement or even an Olympic event with a Canadian in it, but watching NCAA ball? And it's not even the Final Four or the Finals, not that that would make it ok. It's pretty lax here in the Ministry of Finance with people taking time out to engage in some lengthy (and usually unecessary and disturbing) social interaction, but this is just unacceptable. Talk about professionalism going down the drain.
