The Out of Office Message
In mere hours I will be able to hit the confirm button.
"I will be out of the office, and unreachable, from July 20th until August 24th. I will NOT be checking email regularly or answering my cell phone. Please direct any urgent inquiries to my boss."
It might get wordsmithed before I send it. Then again it might not. Because it says exactly what it needs to say.
(My boss knows that I will answer his calls during the next several weeks. But I also know that he won't call unless he really needs something. I got a great boss.)
I'm kicking off my down time with a two-hour massage tomorrow morning.
(I didn't feel the need to include that extra bit of information in my away message."
And in other news, I went out to Delta last night to check Shea and my seat assignments for the overseas legs. While there I noticed an odd number in my account activity history.
Someone at Delta gave me a gift of 10,000 MQM - which are the miles that Delta tracks for elite status. It's as if they said, "No need to travel the rest of the year. Here's Platinum for 2010."
Say what you want about Delta. They treat me right so I give them all my business.
Time to drink more coffee and ponder more on my deck the birds and the wind and the gray skies.
