Mine said this when I was in the hospital and I didn’t know if I’d be back in two weeks or six.
If you're anything like I am, you probably fall into team two. That doesn't leave a lot of time to get creative. But if you plan ahead, you might be able to craft some hilarity.
The incensed people also tended to be the type to submit things at the very last minute or want an immediate answer that could’ve been solved via google.
Thank you for your email! I am on vacation. Vacations are not for checking email, so I won’t be doing that. Fortunately, we rarely encounter life and death situations in the world of [INDUSTRY TYPE], and aren’t we all glad for that?
