What Your Away Message Should Really Say
It's August. You've either been checked out or you are about to check out for the next couple of weeks. It's not a crime to say so. Today, I've received numerous email replies to press requests along the lines of: I will be out of the office from August 16 through August 20 with limited access to email. I look forward to catching up when I get back. Look, you have full and complete access to email, to which you are completely addicted. What you really want to say is: "I'm on vacation. I won't answer your email, so don't bother me."
