Jury Duty. Now don't get me wrong, I've always wanted to do this once. But the timing sucks right now. As an accountant, this is my busiest time. But I'm here and have no control over it.

We are locked in the corner of the courthouse. We have a one channel TV. We cannot leave until lunch (12:30) and afternoon break (3:15). I'm dying for a cig right now. But the hell part is the God Damn coffee machine is broken!!

Fu<k you local government. You can give us TV, free WiFi, computers, and even a game room.

But no fu<king coffee??

Are you kidding me??

No currently elected local official is getting my vote this year.

Bastards!

Yeah, it sucks... last time I was on jury duty was 2000 and I wasn't working for myself then, so idgaf... now it would suck donkey ass to have to miss much time. Too busy...

One of my (only 2 other than me) guys working here got a summons two years ago... I wrote him a letter asking for him to be excused due to our small business and workload and they would only defer him, not excuse him.

I don't mind doing my civic duty, but it shouldn't be such a big burden.

Skew, if you have to go back tomorrow, take a thermos off coffee with you... :D

I almost did. I didn't expect free WiFi, free computer access, 2 free movies, free popcorn, nor a game room.

But I Expected Coffee!!!

I'm a high school teacher and basketball coach and was called once right in the middle of the season. At the time I was also doing some contract work with DPI, so I was slammed to say the least. I asked to be deferred, and I was....

I was called back during my freaking SPRING BREAK.

Gah!

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By frankw · Posted

      Let's pause a sec and rewind. The hype for Bryce Young before we drafted him was beyond anything I've seen in a long time. If you're trying to tell me now after all the hoopla about his ability to make those around him better and the comparisons to hall of fame players across different sports leagues that him taking the next step this year fully hinges on Adam Thielen then we're probably already doomed. Thielen is not going to keep any defenses up at night. He has good hands and very low YAC. We have 4 young WR's ahead of him with potential that need crucial development and we certainly need to find out what we have in them sooner rather than later because regardless of what transpires this season the QB room should undoubtedly be getting a hard reset. Those reps need to go to the young WR's regardless. Bryce needs to step up and take ownership of the relationship between himself and his young receivers. That's why we drafted him.
