Just because I’m that person, I may have actually contacted you with a “Hope you’re having a great time!”
I agree about the out of office reply. Made me laugh. Given that I work a high stress job, I can always use some laughter, so I actually don’t mind it.
I love this! I don’t think its annoying at all– its literally sharing the mission of your work.

Yup. Well, I do specify I will have “sporadic/intermittent” access to email or “no” access to email, because there is a difference. But short and sweet is the way to go.
