I’m the opposite of Timmy. Big sports fan but find the nfl draft to be one of the most overblown events in sports. Just don’t draft Levis Panthers

Because so rarely in life are you present to watch someone achieve their dream. To be there as someone who has worked their whole life towards a single goal and to see their reaction as it happens in real time, is a simple joy that we do not get to experience too often. From a sporting stand point, it is the sole intersection of college football and professional football, its the one point where these two leagues intersect and your passion for both can be realized. Further, if you have an interest in how NFL front offices work, it is the best glimpse into how these people evaluate talent and what they are looking for in players.

Also, @WindyCityDeac my Dad was a Jets fan. I am all too familiar with that fanbase.

Man that mako book fair post got me down good this morning. Money was always tight for my parents growing up but a few new books was never a question.

If it brightens your day the vast majority of elementary school teachers I know are gonna go in their pockets to make sure that kid gets to pick out a little something, but yeah I think most of us our pretty disconnected with how prevalent serious poverty actually is in this country.
 
I'm excited to see the Panthers pick and glad they're at 1 so I can be done with it. I like seeing who my team drafts then finding out where big name players go, but I just check ESPN.com and stuff for that.

would like to figure out at what time the pick will actually happen since it coincides perfectly with boy's bedtime. like I assume a big bloated intro, but how long until the Panthers are on the clock, and how much time will they actually take?
 
Wow office space vacancy in SF up to 30%. Reading some article right now about a building that’s up for sale that was valued at around $300MM in 2019 and is now expected to sell for around $60MM. Yikes.

yeah when I was working in downtown DC I know they were building new office buildings and hotels to cater to all the companies there, but can't imagine what it's like now. I know a bunch of shit like downtown Starbucks have closed down.

Yeah I definitely appreciate what you all are doing. Wish it didn’t have to be that way but I know even a little bit will make a huge difference in a kid’s life.

We moved offices last year from the Watergate to a fancy new spot at 14th and L, and we are one of three tenants in this building, which could fit like 75% more capacity rn.

I like it bc the gym is never crowded and the cold brew coffee on tap in the lounge is great. I’m sure my company is enjoying the super discounted rates too.

Are you more productive at the office or at home?

I care significantly more about the draft now that I started playing dynasty fantasy football with friends. But I still don’t really care about anyone drafted after #10 that doesn’t play QB, WR, RB, or TE.

4 yo and 7yo. 7yo's first words off the bus yesterday were "dad, I'm definitely gonna need some more money for the book fair" I sent her with some extra money for the kids in her class that didn't have any cash so they didn't have to have literally the worst day that they'd ever experience in elementary school and she was absolutely incensed that I would give kids that weren't mine the same amount of money to spend at the book fair as my own child. Really doing some pretty hardcore reflecting on my parenting right now.

Nah man you’re good. Kids that age don’t care about shit. This morning the second grader yelled about having “no clothes that look good together” from her stuffed drawer and complaining that we hadn’t done her laundry recently enough.

Wife felt a tiny bit bad after she left but I’m like no we’re not feeling bad at all about that. You have plenty of goddamn clothes, get more creative and flexible with your outfits. I’ll do the wash once you’re out of underwear.
