If you centre-align that it resembles a Christmas tree, and I coloured the font accordingly :D
I’ve used language like “I’m out of the office at a conference” before and that doesn’t mean I’m not checking email.

Going on a vacation, feeling under the weather, celebrating the holidays, or just playing hooky from work? If so, you need to let your colleagues, clients, and leads know that you’re not available.
