My fav is the one I got that was “I’ve retired and I won’t be checking this account EVER AGAIN!”
I think my personal VM still says, “Ahoy, ahoy!” In my best Mr. Burns voice. I’m a woman.

There’s just one problem with this approach: you’ve now obligated yourself to regularly check your email the whole time you’re out.
1. Add your office closing dates to your email signature block a month in advance.
