Out of the office
Turbo Mini Forums

Got an out of office autoreply today and it made me chuckle:

"I am currently out of the office and will return on 17th August 2009.

I am not currently contactable, not even for the usual "just one quick question" which I usually get when I'm on holiday.

My mobile is switched off and I will not be checking voicemail or text messages until I return.

I do not have my laptop with me, nor do I possess a PDA, palmtop, blackberry, Apple iPhone or similar device.

I will be away from all 'internet cafes', WiFi hotspots, telephones and fax machines.

I do not understand morse code or semaphore, so don't bother to try.

Should you try to contact me via carrier pigeon, I have a
large, hungry, and bad tempered falcon which will be happy to deal with your message.

As is usual in these circumstances, I will have far too many emails to read when I get back so I am implementing a new system. Your mail has been automatically printed on a yellow sticky note and attached to my fridge, where it will compete for my attention with children's drawings, payment requests, and
those colourful magnetic letters you can make rude words with.
The first I may see of your message is when the sticky note falls on the floor as I am rummaging for last month's unpaid gas bill.

Your message is important to me, and I hope to actually read it someday."
