6 hilarious Out of Offices

That you immediately want to try

Well, I actually wanted to write a piece about the worst out of offices, but since I found more fun out of offices than stupid ones, I just flipped it around for convenience. After all, you get much more out of fun things. And they are quite hilarious.

1. Nothing is what it seems

Dear reader,

While you are reading this, I am on vacation. I should now say that I have limited access to my email and unfortunately am not in a position to answer your email. You and I both know that this is total nonsense.

I am lying by the pool, glued to my phone and reading everything immediately. I just promised my partner to pay attention to each other during this vacation. To talk. To read. To converse. To look around. That kind of stuff. All very new indeed. If you really need me, just text me. Then I have to, you know. Do you think you can handle it without me with my colleague, then you can find her in CC.

Wish me luck,

May

P.S.: I'll be back in the land of the living on 11-8.

2. The out of office person

Hey hi,

I am May's Out of Office. She is once again out and about, as she calls it. I don't mind, because I was terribly bored the last few weeks. I only spring into action when she goes horizontal. By the way, I wonder about that, because she says she is offline, but in the meantime. Honestly, all those emails are being read.

Anyway, now I am here to watch over the inbox. I think I'm doing just fine. I am a kind of conductor and channel everything to the right slots. So if you want sales info, email Danielle@amayzine.com, if it's editorial-related, you can best email Adeline@amayzine.com. And otherwise just keep stalking May, she will surely respond.

Want to know where she is hanging out now? Check her www.instagram.com/maybrittmobach and you won't feel sorry for her.

See you in about half a year again,

May's out of office

3. Use emoticons

little lady + little man + child + child + child + dog

– laptops – wifi – desk – deadlines

= island + palm tree + cocktail

landing airplane and return date and you're done.

4. The robot

May is away on vacation. Email traffic during this period is not stable, it is fleeting for me. When she returns, she does not handle her mail accurately. She might overlook your message in the mountain of messages she receives. Just forgive her, she can't help it. Creatives are chaotic and humans are weak anyway. This message is not written by a human but by a robot. We are not weak and chaotic and one day we will rule the entire universe. Oh yes, she will be back on 11-8. Prepare yourself for it.

5. Or this one

I am in Thailand until August 8, so emails may not arrive on time and/or be read. You know, due to the curvature of the earth and the position of the sun. I can't help that either. Until then, May

6. The honest one

Copy a screenshot of the weather forecast of where you are going. Especially fun if it's raining there.

Hey hi, I am on vacation until 8-8. As you can see, I am particularly looking forward to it. It looks like I have all the time to reply, unless the satellites have blown away. Just to be sure, I will forward you to my colleague. And if it can wait, I will pick it up again after returning home. And, if you have nothing to do today; have a moment of pity for me. That does me good, May

I myself will be on vacation from August 11 to 26. Currently brewing a fresh out of office.
