Have you sent a proper farewell email to the whole office, thanking everyone and wishing them well?

I am out for eye surgery on Monday 24th May and will have one eye covered. All going well I should be fine shortly after, however reading long emails or longer periods of screen-facing work will take some effort.

The tone of your out-of-office auto-reply may vary depending on the intended recipient of your email.
You may also want to include bullet points of what is in progress so that your client knows you’re on top of things.

The Uniform Holiday Bill (Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on June 28, 1968, and was intended to ensure three-day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day.
