I was raised you go to work, it’s up to your employer to send you home. That way they know when you call off, you mean business.

In 11 years I’ve called off twice.

11 years ago for severe allergies(apparently once you turn 30 you get them)
Last year because my sister passed.

I was raised the same way, but I've learned that it does not mean it is or was remotely the right thing to do.

I'd rather have one or two sick people at home than the possibility of 10 to 20 people sick due to the one or two trying to 'tough it out'.

I'll follow up by asking 2 questions:

What are you fearful of that will be a result of you calling in sick? I'm certain your employer knows you are a hard worker.

Do you think it's a good idea to be working in a social setting while sick?

Homie what would you do at 54. Gonna be some decent players there. Akers- Dobbins could be there, Weaver- Uche could be. Dye could be there at 86.

If I didn’t go to work every time I had the sniffles or had aches and pains, I’d never go to work.

That is how I was raised to, as long as you could get out of bed, you go to work. But I have been out of work for 6 months know because I didn't listen to my body and the pain. Just smoke a couple joints and forget about the pain, well I tore my shoulder up so bad and my pectoral muscle that I have had 2 surgeries know to try and fix all the damage I did. I know this is different with the virus, but sometimes it's better to listen to what you're body is telling you, then worry about the job that really could careless.

Now with that said, if I end up with symptoms now during this dire time, I’m keeping my fat ass home.

I've read multiple sites to see who will be available.

Who do you have?

- kingcong39


Mynhldraft.com usually does the most accurate mock drafts imo.

I would love Rossi in the royal blue though. If he wasn’t 5’9 he would be a slam dunk to go 2nd overall. He is a solid all around player, he was the oldest player available in this years draft and might even be NHL ready this October (or whenever the 2020-2021 league year starts)

IMO, what we should do at forward next year:

Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart
Olofsson- _______ - _______
Kahun- (Cozens) -Johansson
Girgs-Larsson-Okposo(bc we have to)
Lazar

Prospects who could challenge for a spot...
Mittelstadt
Asplund
T. Thompson
Routsalainen

It's a little different for you though, especially dealing with the restaurant and takeout and deliveries.

I still think Cozens starts off on the wing personally. Let’s say hypothetically we get Rossi/Lundell

Olofsson/Kahun-Eichel-Cozens
Skinner-Rossi/Lundell-Reinhart
Mojo-Bonino-Kahun/Olofsson
Asplund-Larsson-Okposo

LOL, I figured that's what you meant.

The only people who should fear being questioned on calling in sick frequently are those like you mentioned above.

My boss knows that if I say I am sick, it means I should not be around others.

It's sad that it has taken a highly infectious virus for people to begin using common cents.

Yeah saw that.

We’ve been 99% food takeout only and no one in the bar that doesn’t work there or on the property.

I have sold 21 bottles of beers and 2 growlers since 8 pm on the 16th.

It shouldn't really be different for anybody, unless you work at home by yourself. Why risk infecting others? What's the point?

I've seen some that have Raymond falling to the 7-9 pick range.

Is there really a bad choice among Rossi, Raymond, Lundell, or Holtz?

We’re still open for takeouts.

We did 70 yesterday.

6 from 12-4

64 from 4-8

There were cars lined up around the block waiting to pick up their food.

I think any team picking in the top 15 is going to be thrilled with who they get. It’s all based on preference but there is some really good talent available.

Hopefully Botts has the brains to go forward at the top of round 2 as well because there is going to be some talent there that would have went in the first round in years past.

This draft to me is the best one since 2015.
