[fortmccubble]

I want that to be what they said when they had to dismiss the court. "Sorry guys, The Judge is cracked out on Bawls playing MW2. See yeah in a month!"

 

[fortmccubble]

oh... see ya* come on Tom's I'll be the millionth to complain about lack of edit

I don't see anything wrong with what this judge did. Would you prefer him to come in and rule on cases while half asleep?

Same. Maybe I'd just take a morning off but either way, with a job like his, it's safer to just stay home if you feel like you're not fit for work.

Half asleep would still be better than the condition I've seen some judges rule in....ever seen a judge making rulings while incompetent? I have....and even been the victim of it.

Yeah, I agree. I don't think this is really news-worthy (other than the fact that it proves gamers DO have real lives). If he had insomnia and was up all night, or if he was out drinking late and felt like crap the next day, or if he just woke up and felt like he couldn't deal with work that day (god knows I've been there before), what difference does it make? That's what PTO is for.

pwned

If you've got a job, and respect it, you should not do such. This judge does not care about his job.

Does it really matter.. he took like a SICK DAY, Calling in Sick is LEGAL.. being a judge doesnt make him immune to getting sick. If he played games all night, or got into an orgy, his actions are his actions.. HOW IS THIS NEWS WORTHY>

Most public office officials get so many sick days a year. He used his like anyone else. Can you honestly say you haven't used a sick day when you weren't sick?

Good men. Though I'd never do it, I've never skipped school even.

How do they know that he played the game was the reason of his absence?
They don't tell!

It's a heck of a lot better than alcohol or drugs. At least you're home and the worst thing that could happen is Carpal Tunnel.

Doesn't that apply to most judges?

If I was in court and the judge took the day off for a orgy with a pair of hot lesbians, I think I'd let it slide. =D

Games decent, but still... some people do need help.

Why do these stories keep mentioning Everquest? Why not mention Sonic and Tomb Raider while they are at it!
