I’m getting crabby again. It usually means I need to take a break from the Dope. See you next week. ---

I’m always crabby. Maybe I need to take a life-long suspension.😃 ---

Sorry to hear that, man. I’m sure you’ll be missed! You know. By somebody. ---

If you let an internet message board bother you, then you really need to reassess your life. ---

I don’t think we can jump to the conclusion that the Dope is the source of **Tomba** ’s crabbiness. Get well, WFT. Watch a rainstorm, that always cheers me up! ---

If it helps, I always read your name as WTF Tomba. It makes me giggle. ---

I wish I could do that at work. “Hey, boss, I’m feeling crabby. I won’t be in for a week or so. Bye!” ---

> [@BiblioCat](#): > > I wish I could do that at work. > “Hey, boss, I’m feeling crabby. I won’t be in for a week or so. Bye!” I had the best boss ever a few years back. Was going through some rough shit and told her that I was having a hard time. She looked me square in the eye and said, “You need a break.” When I told her that I had plans for the remaining vacation days I had, she told me to screw that, just take the next week off and for me to start feeling better. Damn, I miss her. ---

Another messageboard I post to has an option to ban yourself if you’ve paid to post. I’ve used it a number of times when I’ve needed to get work done. ---

There are other messageboards? If you see **WF Tomba** there, tell him we all said pie.
