Dec. 5th, 2018 10:06 pmI need some way to put up a 'brain out of office' notice everywhere that people might try to reach me because it's been happening for days at a time during the last two months. And then I get avoidant about going online anywhere where I'd normally interact. I only keep coming to DW because I decided a long time back that daily posting was something I wanted to do and that I had permission to lurk.
I tried to sleep in this morning, but I got a phone call half a hour after Cordelia left and then again half an hour after that. I slept some in between when Scott got up and when he came in here to say goodbye for the day, but it wasn't anything like enough.
The first phone call was from Scott's work, and I apparently scared the guy a bit, but I was cranky because I was awakened from a dream (not one I was particularly enjoying) and because it was twenty minutes before Scott need to be at work. Scott was very likely walking in the door at the office right when the guy called me.
The second call was a spam call in a language I didn't recognize. Possibly Mandarin but also possibly not. At that point, I gave up and got up for the day. Tomorrow, I have an appointment, so I can't sleep in.

Then you wouldn't have to think about phrasing it right each time and could just deploy it.
I think most email programs have auto-response functions these days? So you could make a template for that and just click to enable it on bad days.
