My e-mail addy is still valid, but new computer security prevents me from accessing Hotmail from work. I must wait until I get home to read any Admin/Moderator messages. Sorry. ---

Iā€™m going to work out pretty soon. Anyone wishing to get ahold of me will have to wait 30 minutes. Or a little more, since Iā€™ll probably eat afterwards. And Iā€™ll have to change clothes. But Iā€™ll check my messages within the hour, definitely. ---

How many emails from Admins/Mods do you usually get? And besides, theyā€™re always screaming about how we should be patient when we send them emails. Iā€™m sure they could have waited until the end of the day to get your response. Unless they sit around, biting thier finger nails, waiting with a worried mind until you reply to them. Ok, enough kidding around. I just thought it was funny because it sounded like attention whoring. I may be wrong, but that is the impression it gave. ---

I need to use the facilities for a few minutes, so donā€™t call 911 when I donā€™t respond to your e-mails within 30 seconds. Cheers. šŸ˜‰ ---

I am at work and have nothing else to do today except surf the dope. If anyone tries to reach me and canā€™t, **Call 9-1-1 immediately**. That is until 2:00PM (Central Time) when I leave for home. I only read the dope at work so the lack of communication after I leave work should be expected and is no cause for alarm. ---

> [@](#): > > How many emails from Admins/Mods do you usually get? _ **A lot** _. When I was modding, everying time I logged on to the boards, I sent Bosda an e-mail notification. Pretty standard procedure; I think all the mods were instructed by Ed Zotti to do likewise. Thatā€™s the real reason manhattan resigned his GQ position; he got tired of reporting Bosda five times a day. ---

Your employers need to be told that when the world has need of **Bosda** then it has need of him: it will not be put on hold. Must Presidents, Prime Ministers, Heads of State be kept waiting until **Bosda** arrives home? This is insufferable. It will not stand! ---

Iā€™m going to take a dump and should be in there for a while (Iā€™m constipated). But Iā€™ll be taking my Blackberry in with me, so there should be no loss of contact. ---

Iā€™m gonna go to the store, then Iā€™m gonna cook something for dinner, then Iā€™m gonna get drunk. So if you try and get ahold of me, good freakin luck. ---

I looked outside this morning and saw a sqaudron of F-16ā€™s flying the ā€œmissing manā€ formation, and said to myself ā€œHoly dogshit, I hope nothing happened with Bosda.ā€ Then I tried to mail him andā€¦nothing. Glad to know it was a false alarm. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-case-somebody-wants-to-get-ahold-of-me/308524.md?page=2)
