1:00 pm on a Friday, I'm working at my desk with my headphones on (because Ted was on the phone for about half an hour loudly exaggerating about the cold weather and lying about layoffs)...
Ted [Very loudly, suddenly]: "Whoa!....Hey, take a look at this!...HEY!"
Me: "Yes?"
Ted: "You can get live streaming HD video of the race! They're testing out cars in Daytona! Streaming online...in HD!"
Me: "Oh....neat."
I have repeatedly made it clear that I have no interest in NASCAR (mainly by mocking it). Ted proceeds to play the video for the rest of the afternoon instead of working. He made sure to turn it way up when he was at the other end of the (literally) 216 square feet of office which he has appropriated. Ted disappeared at around 2 and was gone for the better part of an hour while he "ate an orange"...he left the video on the whole time.
