Man Gets Hit With Hilarious Auto-Reply From Vacationing Co-Worker
This guy thought he was in for the same old story on this workday; however, he received a fun little present from a vacationing co-worker that he didn't expect.
Office work can be quite dull at times. It can drag on, bore you, and feel monotonous and tedious, doing its best to put you to sleep.
You should never tell someone who works in a corporate environment that they have no right to be tired, as all occupations and activities can be tiring in different ways. I, for one, would really struggle to sit in front of a computer full-time, Monday to Friday, five days a week, reading boring emails all day long. I honestly couldn't think of anything worse. My eyes are getting tired just thinking about it.

I Respect This Guy!
RedditThe auto-reply reads -
“Hi there!
I know, I know. You got an immediate reply. And you were all like: “Ah! So he CAN answer emails!”
But alas, dear writer, I am off to a sunny island with the two people I love most. No, not Luke Skywalker and Jimi Hendrix. My wife and my son!
Nothing but a week of sun and quality time with my two favorite people.
It’s the recipe for happiness. I highly recommend you try it—with your loved ones, I mean. You can’t have mine. That’d be freaky.
“Anyway, I won’t be replying to you. Usually, people write that they have no access to email or phone, and we all know that’s a lie—they just don’t want to reply. I am, however, deleting Outlook from my phone for the week, and roaming is off, so I literally cannot be contacted until I am back, which will be Tuesday, December 11th.
I look forward to replying to you then… unless I get eaten by a shark or something.
If that does happen, then it’s OK. The shark would be eating a happy meal.
I only ask that you remember me as a kind man who loved vegetarian curries and death metal, and whose auto-reply made your day a little less ‘winter is coming’ and a bit more ‘island in the sun.’
Have a great week!

What an absolute legend! Nothing was getting in the way of Roy and his little family's time away in the sun. The internet thought he was spot on with this response too.
