After being mistaken for a stray, I've been sent to the dogs' home, so if you need anything while I'm waiting for a new owner, you can contact Jo. 
(I've been deloused and come fully house trained if it helps sway your decision) 

I'm out of the office until Monday 15th November 2021

I'm picking a different theme at work each week to spice things up a bit. This week's theme is not being here.

My parents warned me about people who sneak up behind you while you work and steal you away from your desk for a few days.

Like a foolish child, I ignored them and now I'll be out of the office until Wednesday 20th October.

If you need anything while I'm away, you can contact Jo.

I'm out of the office until Tuesday 12th October 2021

 What's a nice person like you doing looking for a person who isn't here like me?

If you need any more catchy out-of-office-themed pickup lines, either wait till I return on 12th October, or contact Jo, who will probably tell you not to encourage me.

This is the first time I've managed to balance a pencil on my nose and I want to see how long I can keep it going.

Understandably I'm not going anywhere 'till I drop it.

I'm out of the office until Tuesday 12th July 2021

I've finally managed to get out of the hole I've figuratively dug for myself and I'm taking a couple of days off to recover from the effort. You could even say that this is an "out of orifice" reply, but only metaphorically speaking.

If you need anything while I'm away, you can contact Phoebe.

I'm out of the office until 28th June 2020

I've fallen through a worm hole and can't get out (because of the physics), so I'll be away from the office until I can cross the event horizon.

If you need anything while I'm away, please contact Jo.

Surprised to see there are actual worms here.

I'm out of the office until 22nd June 2021

I've learned to fly by closing my eyes and saying the magic words, so I'll be out of the office until Tuesday, cruising the skies.

If you need anything while I'm away, please contact Jo.

Alternatively say my name three times, while waving a sprig of heather and I'll appear before you.
