The Decision-Making Skills of Folks Hired for Entry Level Construction and Maintenance Jobs, Isn't Always What You'd Hope It Would Be . . .

. . . the Cleveland Cavaliers v. LA Lakers game at Staples Center was delayed 12 minutes in the first half while they tried to figure out how to handle dripping water on the inside of the arena. The assumption was that it was a leaky roof causing the problem, but that turned out not to be the whole story.

Given a history of leaks, and the first big week of storms in close to 18 months, Staples Center wisely contracted a roofing company to inspect the roof. The roof doesn't leak, so their inspection (and or repairs) did the job, but the crew they sent up there made one small error.

THEY LEFT THEIR SOPPING WET WORK CLOTHES ON THE CATWALK ABOVE THE COURT!

Not a phi beta kappa move there.

On top of that, the home team lost.
