Out of the Office notifications

December 19, 2007 · Filed Under Geek Fun 

At work we have an email account that sends a copy of all messages sent to it to everybody in the company. If somebody is going to take a day of work, they send an email saying that they’ll be out of the office, list the day(s) they’ll be out and will usually give information about who to contact in their absence. During the holidays there have been quite a few of these emails going around. They all look the same… boring!

Since I will be taking off a few days next week, I decided to entertain the crowd with a geekier version of the OOTO message. Mine looked like this:

<?php
while ($date > “2007-12-25″ && $date < "2007-12-29")
{
$user = "John Hawkins";
$mode = "Vacation";
$contact_for_help = array ("Angelo", "Rebecca", "Mel");
$emergency_phone = "702.xxx.xxxx";
}
?>

The fact that I received 3 instant messages and 8 emails filled with “LOL”s, I’d say my stab at humor worked.

Good times.
