The threat of nuclear war has forced me deep underground and I won't be coming back to work until the apocalypse has run it's course.
I reckon a day should pretty much do it, so I'll be back in the office on Friday.
If you need anything while I'm away, you can contact Lou (or what's left of her).
I'm out of the office until Tuesday 2nd May 2017
You know me, I'm a hard worker. But I just looked in the cupboard and we're out of elbow grease, so there's no point coming in until we get another tin.
If you need anything urgently while I'm away, just call me on my mobile.
Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but it's quite nice not to have slippery elbows for a bit.

I run a small art gallery in my spare time and was visited yesterday by a famous collector looking for new talent.
He was very taken with a piece by a particularly promising young artist and asked me to talk him through it in detail.
Unfortunately the artist in question specialises in what we call "Extreme panoramas" and in this case he's used a canvas measuring around forty five miles long.
Safe to say, I'm going to be here for quite some time.
If you need anything while I'm otherwise engaged, you can contact Rosie or Lou.
However, if you'd like to join us, just pop along to the gallery - as far as I'm concerned there's definitely an "Economies of scale" vibe to these guided viewings.

I found a mystery button under my desk and decided to press it. Turns out it was the release for the ejector seat.
Things happened pretty fast after that and I've been sent home while a) repairs to the ceiling are carried out and b) results from the pending enquiry come in.

We've been "Hot desking" at work recently, but, predictably, I overdid it and mine caught on fire.
If you need anything while I'm being treated for minor burns and waiting for new office furniture you can call on Rosie, Lou or Lindsay.

I'm currently operating an open-door policy at work.
This'll probably lead to a great deal of confusion, because this kind of thing normally implies that I'm very open minded and supportive, but the reality is that I've left the office in a hurry and forgotten to close the door in the process.

Go easy on them if they're a bit ratty, it's proper draughty.

I always leave a trail of breadcrumbs leading from my house to the office so that I can find my way in every day.
But, predictably enough, the birds have eaten everything and now I don't know how to get to work.
Rosie and Lou had the same idea, but they used small pebbles, so they'll be around if you need any help while I'm trying to get directions.

I've been kidnapped by the Mafia and if they don't get what they want, they're going to post pieces of me back to the office, until there's nothing left.
But don't worry, even though nobody values me enough to pay the ransom, my medical insurance should cover the costs of the surgical team needed to put me back together once everything's been delivered.
If you need anything while we're waiting for the last bits of me to arrive, you can contact Lou or Rosie.

"Can't Get There from Here", was the first single released by R.E.M. from its third studio album, Fables of the Reconstruction in 1985.
A little known fact about the track is that it was written prophetically about my inability to get to work until Monday 20th March.
The B-side, entitled "Contact Lou or Rosie if you need any help while I'm away", was critically acclaimed by everyone who was originally looking to get in touch with me.
True story.

I've just been to that London - shopping, if you must know.
Picked up some great bargains, but the jewel in the crown has to be this gorgeous, black tactical combat jacket. It's been designed by the US military and has so many little compartments for storing stuff that I can't even begin to count them.
Unfortunately, as I was passing through security at Gatwick, they asked me to empty all my pockets and having done the maths, it looks like I won't be able to make it back to the office until Thursday at the earliest.
