I also tend to check my email 2-3x per day while I’m out for my own sanity and will respond to important* ones if not doing so would hold something big* up. Not using OOO avoids some of the self-righteous nonsense from people with nothing better to do than try to micromanage my personal time.

I have no idea when they’ll get back to me, or if I should email someone else.

Please note I am currently out of the office, please reach out to [email protected] for any kind of assistance.
