You don't have to have a pivot foot to start a dribble.

Psst, Skarecrow - yes, some of us are kidding, but we're not really supposed to do that here. We're supposed to keep things serious, from what I've heard. Don't tell anyone, ok?

At work? I would hope not. I know at my job, at least, there are rules against that sort of thing.

Unless, of course, they have set up a room for you to do it in private.

Office doors were a wonderful invention.

The problem with office doors is that they are connected to offices...which were NOT a wonderful invention as a place to do work.

Maybe, but they beat the hell out of cubicles.

Went from office with a door to shared office without so much as a desk to a cubicle, as of this morning.

Sort of like the difference between living by yourself in an apartment, sleeping in open-bay barracks, or having a roommate in a hotel.

So, what do you not hate?

Actually quite often. Happens in many (if not most) of my games. Just have to be aware of it...many officials will call it a travel because it can, at times, "look funny."
