Hells, yeah. I actually had to do some work. 
It amused me though, but I was so glad to see the boards back!

Ahhhhhhh…
Oh, and Boo says “hi”, Dung Beetle.
Wow. I got lucky and was away from a computer last night and most of today, so I didn’t have to go through this horrible situation.
I’m not the only one, eh Pugs? I almost joined another board too, but I couldn’t find one as good as the Dope!
My dad told me. First thing I heard when I got home.
“The Dope is out.”
“Um. You want me to fix it? It does that.”
“No. It’s down. Has been down for a while, too.”
Thank god I’ve got a job these days.
I came home and dad was curled up in bed with a crossword puzzle.
Yeah, he’s hooked too.
I was forced to look at…um…other websites .
Nobody tell Cecil, 'mkay?
I was having problems opening forums last night, but I thought the servers were just overloaded. Cuz, ya know, that happens. But when I got up this morning and saw that temp page, I was in a fizz. I was worried that The Reader was gonna say, “This is a good a time as any to pull the plug on that PITA message board.” I just always seem to think the worst is gonna happen. I was so worried. When I got home from work and saw that page come up I was soooo relieved! IT’S BACK!!! YAY!!!
I know, I got it bad.
I’ve only been posting here for a month and I started to freak out. What did I have to do instead?
Work. Ick.

I figured something was going to happen when it would let me see some threads and not others. Eventually it wouldn’t let me in any threads, so I decided to call it a night. Earlier today, nada.
What made it worse was that the other board I tend to frequent has been out since Sunday.
Oh, so it was you! 
I was having serious withdrawal today. I had the SDMB up all day at work periodically refreshing and hoping it’d reappear. And then it did! And then it was down. And then the hardware failure message. Gah!
Of course, it comes back on like 10 minutes before I’m leaving work… oh well. At least it’s back. 
I only noticed its awful absence before work this morning and that sucked. Luckily I went out to lunch today with some coworkers so I didn’t have to suffer through that. During work, I …well…worked. So I wouldn’t have noticed anyway. I need at least a half hour to go through everything on the dope or else I feel like I’m missing something so I don’t ever surf it during work time. What if I have to close it and miss some posts in Cafe Society that could really entertain me??
Wow, I had completely not noticed the outage. I feel like the person who walks in during that lull after something momentus has happened, and not having a clue as to what just occured.
I guess that’s what having to grade labs, polish up the next lab, and getting sucked into a new video game will do to you. :eek:
<< Don’t worry–be silly! >>
The ads at the bottom of the page for me right now are hilarious. Vicodin followed by Addiction Help. Heh.
A minute ago I had trouble getting into the board and started having flashbacks to this morning when I COULD NOT GET IN. Hmm…maybe I need the detox stuff that’s in the ads as well, if I’m having flashbacks!
clicks SDMB link nervously
is able to post, after all
exhales noisily and collapses
Before the note about the hardware problem, I totally thought They had found me out and denied access to the SDMB only, since everything else came up OK. It didn’t help that I was posting in the “killing kittens” thread just as my boss’s boss e-mailed me about something :eek:
I tried to visit other boards but I couldn’t think of anything but The Onion. I enjoy the one about Anne Frank being outraged that so many people have been reading her diary. “I knew I should have gotten one with a lock on it.”
Heh, that’s the first thing I thought when I tried to get on yesterday morning. ::Oh, no! They’ve blocked me from spending so much work time on this site! Guilt. Guilt Guilt::
Imagine how I felt–just last week, we got a “warning” about “excessive internet use.”
This was my exact fear too! I nearly quit…well, no, but I considered it!
I spent the day reading Call of the Wild. Yes, at work.
I had major attention deficit issues yesterday. SD Withdrawl did not help.
