Yes! I hate the “at my earliest convenience” for the same reason – it comes across as “I’ll do it when I feel like it”. I would only use that phrase at work in terms of someone else (ie “at YOUR earliest convenience”).
I am at an opera house in the countryside (i.e. without reception) and shall return to the office on XX.
