A change of Pace for the holiday - Fun Out Of Office Replies

Working at Vaisala

This is totally off topic, but it's summer and since Vaisala began as a Finnish company -- and nobody loves summer like Finnish folk -- we are taking a break from our usual discussions on validation, monitoring, and regulated environments to enjoy some clever, sometimes bold, and chuckle-worthy Out-Of-Office replies for email. Usually we ensure the content on our blog is original, but, we had such fun with these blogs on OOO emails, we had to share. To see the originals, check out HubSpot, Mashable and Examiner.com.

Have a great long weekend USA,
and join us next week for a new blog on where cold chain regulations are heading...

Hi, I will be out of the office and returning next week. I have incredibly easy access to a phone and email, but I assure you, it will not be used for work purposes.

Hi, If you're reading this, Doc Brown was unable to make lightning strike the clock tower, and I'm stuck in 1985. I won't be able to respond to emails or voicemail until 9ish on Tuesday, July 8, 2014... or until email is invented -- whatever comes first.

Hi, I am currently out of the office. I have a cell phone, but I will not be giving the number out. If you can guess the number, however, I will take your call.

Hi, I'm thinking about what you've just sent me. Please wait by your PC for my response...

Hi, I am currently out of the office and probably out-of-my-mind drunk. Enjoy your workweek!
