McBean Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) I’m a small business owner and told my assistant 2 weeks ago that Thursday the 26th I’m gone from my office at noon and won’t be back until Monday the 30th lol. I don’t know if I will start the grill at noon or not. Depends on the weather here in the South. I’m going to crack open a beer and listen to non stop radio on WGR while NFL Network is on the big screen. Love the atmosphere and excitement around draft day...especially this year with all the picks/unknown. What about you? Are you taking off Friday? Any special plans? Would love to hear from others. Man, I can’t WAIT until Thursday!!!! Go Bills Edited April 22, 2018 by McBean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Guy on the Bench Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I always take off Thursday-Monday. My own little paradise staycation. Load up on all the junk food I won't usually let myself buy. Queue up some good binge watching material for the down periods when I've consumed all the draft-related info I can find. It's a four day extravaganza of indulgence. I look forward to it every year the way I used to look forward to Christmas when I was a kid. My wife usually just heads out for a mini vacation of her own. I can't blame her. Watching me sink down into the hedonistic depths over four days isn't pretty. Usually takes me a week of recovery to feel like I'm not still football-junk-food-computer-screen stoned. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbillsfan2206 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 But anyways I’m on vacation this week so I’m making the trip to Buffalo. I’m gonna watch day 1 at Santoras, drink some beer and eat some wings. I’m going to the draft party on day 2. Should be a good time 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I have jury duty on Thursday, which of course sucks. But it does occur to me that I'll almost certainly be home before the draft starts at 5:00. Otherwise, there's no way that would be happening.

Boatdrinks Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Took Thursday off. Draft party at a downtown establishment. I think it's the most critical Bills draft since the Kelly years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytownblofan Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Put in my two weeks last Monday and specifically told them my last day would be Thursday the 26th. Planning on leaving around noon and spending the rest of the day camped in front of the Tv celebrating my new job and the draft! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroni Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The biggest downside of being retired is I can't take any more "mental health" sick days ... I don't get ANY of the national holidays off ..... weekends????? same as Monday through Friday ..... vacation days???? fagetaboutit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Things Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) The time zone difference puts the beginning of the first round at noon on Friday. That said, I'm taking the afternoon off from work and will be eating and drinking as I watch coverage on NFL GamePass. It's too bad that WGR does not allows listens outside of the US listen to their live-stream. Does anyone know another "local" source I could listen to? *Edit* - Finally installed a VPN and now listening to WGR.

Inigo Montoya Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) I requested off Thursday and Friday too so I can go to Buffalo Wild Wings with my 20 year old son and watch the draft. I work evenings/nights and I would be absolutely worthless on draft night if I was here at work during the draft. I have never asked off for a draft before. This year is different somehow, it seems like this is the most important draft for the Bills in the last 20 years. I feel like a kid waiting for Xmas...

BillsPride12 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Did I take off work Friday? Absolutely! I usually don't take any time off after the holidays up until now so it's great timing to treat myself to a long weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'll go to work on Thursday. Get home at roughly 7pm. I'll watch the rest of Wheel of Fortune, then watch Jeopardy (Mets have a day game) whilst preparing dinner. Then I'll watch the draft. Then I'll go to bed and wake up Friday to go to work.

Shamrock Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 We normally have our ANZAC Memorial Day during the week, this year it’s a Wednesday and I usually take the days after as Annual Leave for a bit of a break: It’s often the few nice days before Winter arrives and the work slog starts after Spring, Summer good weather.

Fadingpain Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I hadn't even thought to do something unusual around the draft, other than watch it when it starts. I will have the radio on during the day, though, as usual, listening for any news that may come around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Htt2821 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Unfortunately, will be busy during the draft (except for Thursday night) as the wife and I are seeing DC for the first time and staying with friends....such bad timing for this vacation.

Charlottebillsfan2 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I have a golf tournament on Thursday which starts at noon and should be done by around 6. It’s a charity scramble that Is awsome. So party all day on the course, come home fire up the grill for the draft feastivites. No chance I work on Friday. This weekend will be solid!

dollars 2 donuts Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 My wife saved me for Thursday night. My niece had reserved tickets a couple of weeks ago for her and her husband and her in laws for Avengers in the recliner seats at AMC and asked me if I wanted to go. I said yes and I was not thinking about the day (Thursday at 8 pm). Just before I ordered my ticket my wife said, "isn't that the night of the draft?" I married above me. In the midst of my Spring health kick so not a lot of food, but I am will be at home and raring to go at 5. Normally we are together watching our daughter who demands a lot of attention (which is cool by me!), but I think my wife will carry the load on Thursday. did I mention I married above me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
