This week I’m on vacation.  So I put together this fun little out of office message:

Hey Y’all!

I am out of the office this week, Monday March 26th to Friday March 30th. I will be back in the office Monday April 2nd.

This week is Spring Break for my kids. So I decided to take the family to Gatlinburg, Tennessee to do some hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park:

If all goes well we won’t have any close encounters with the 1,500 bears that live in the park. In addition to some hiking, we’ll probably do some go-carting, horseback riding and Zorbing. Yes, I said Zorbing. You can only Zorb in New Zealand, Guam, and the Smoky Mountains. I’ve done both the wet and dry version, so believe me when I say that the wet version is MUCH better than the dry.

Normally even when I am away from the office I have access to e-mail wherever I travel. Heck, even airplanes have wifi these days. But I’m afraid that many places I will be hiking, riding a horse, or bouncing down a hill in an inflated sphere won’t have very good cell coverage. So I will be unable to receive e-mail and even phone calls for some of my trip. If your need isn’t urgent you have nothing to worry about – I will respond upon my return. However, if you have an urgent need, please contact our support desk at 513-469-6500, Option 1.

Thanks!
