Jocks

Jocks run the world. You know the type. If you don't attend a High School football game and observe closely. Jocks are arrogant. That is qualification number one. You must be arrogant. You must think that you are the greatest athlete, manager, (insert position here) that ever lived. You can do no wrong. Others should bow to your wishes. Jocks are also agressive. They love the game, whatever the game may be.

Jocks love competition. They love to beat someone else. To win. They also love sports. Football, baseball, basketball, you name it. They love it. They generally play golf though they may not love to watch it.

They read the boss like reading a football play and it is the same to them. Football or office politics. They can no longer play football so they play office politics with the same fervor they played football and that they now watch football.

They will talk about football or other sports for hours at work and surf ESPN and other sports websites for hours. This is OK. It is a part of the job and is expected by the "winners". However, if someone else in the office is caught on Facebook or a game website even for 30 nanoseconds then he can be severely punished. And oh it is almost embezzlement if one is caught talking about their latest mission on World of Warcraft much less looking at the game website on a company internet connection.

You see sports is OK but WoW is not because jocks run the world.
