for the past 7 years, its been this way. I must admit that absolutely no work gets done cuz I'm always on CB. Anyone else in the same boat? what are your addictions on these days?

always checking Twitter and always refreshing CelticsBlog

I've got about a half dozen Twitter pages open that Ill check occasionally.  I was an honest worker and took trade deadline day off.

Yup.

Oh no, I'm totally working right now.  Why else would I be typing?
I'm bitter.

Same here. Very unproductive at work the last few days and my wife and I have baby due July 1st. I'm hoping Danny does something and the wife doesn't go into Labor today.

Got buddies coming over for the draft tonight. Bit of a tradition we've developed.   Took tomorrow off from work. 

The last couple of days have definitely involved more distractions than usual.   Trading deadline is definitely the same way.  Opening night to a lesser extent also.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
I play poker online for a living so every day is a celticsblog day for me :)
I'm actually in the US right now in Hopkinton, MA, so playing online poker is limited unless I use a VPN/IP scrambler.

I usually make sure that I take draft day off though.
I'm sure it's an extension of March Madness around the USA.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Literally pushed off two client meetings today till next week so I could be free to be distracted by rumors and celtics chat all day leading up to the draft.

No work "day?"  Try week, lol.

And I do it knowing full well that there would be virtually no deals until draft night, but here I am, anyway.
