I'm+Out+of+the+Office

So I'm going to be away for a week and I get really tired of the boring "I'll be out of the office for so and such, blah blah blah" messages that I usually use - seems to me that we should be working to make a more human response than that. I'd like for folks, even while I'm gone, to get something useful, maybe even something fun, out of the return message. Here's your chance to help. [|Jennifer Jones], in response to my [|request for help] , [|suggested I let you build my "I'm Out of the Office" message].
