Do we work at the same place? I swear to God.

There was a place I worked at where I would go to the restroom after sitting at my desk for 7 hours straight (I kid you not) and there would be 2 voicemails and a couple of e-mails wondering where I was.

Cray-zee.

You could probably set up a rule in Outlook (assuming that’s what you use) that will auto reply a specific message to that one person. You could probably even change it around based on the date so that every day s/he emails they get a different message.

In exactly one week I will be setting up my out of office message FOREVER as I am leaving work and the big smoke. I will have to work locally but it is nice to think that I could put something like “I have now left [my company] so go fuck yourself” or something equally charming.

Have ever noticed that people with a misplaced sense of urgency often don’t have enough on their plates?

Oy, stuff like that only happens to me - or so I thought. But what gets me right in the craw is when I happen to leave “happy Spring” on my voice mail and forget about it until like Ocotober and they all hear THAT and comment about what a douche I am or they constantly remind me to take the vacation message off my email. But did they read it when it actually applied? Hell the fuck no! Grrrr. I like the toddler cock-knocking idea. Alot.

Oh - happy early vacation to ya. :)

You should change your Away message to: “I told you to stop e-mailing me. Send one more email, and I’ll call the police.”

Sounds like you could work in my office…
I’m going on vacation next week and this week I’ve just been sitting around with nothing to do… there’s absolutely NOTHING going on. When I come back, however, there will be dozens of “urgent” emails and I will hear stories of how someone needed something IMMEDIATELY but I wasn’t there to get it for them. Which is total crap b/c none of us do anything of ANY importance - nothing is ever REALLY needed immediately. I need a new job, I hate these people.
Have fun on your vacation - don’t think about work at ALL.

Don’t you love it?? I have the same thing happen here. Even with my bounce back message telling the impatient pricks who they should contact and giving them the option of contacting my admin via e-mail or phone, they still call me directly on my cell - EVERY TIME. I have less than 2 weeks until my blessed week long vacation from hell. Have fun on yours, I know I will…
