Im out of the office until Monday 3rd December

I'm researching a short story based on the life of a man who leaves the office for a few days, so I'll be out of the office until 3rd December.

If you need any help in the meantime you can contact my editors, Lou and Lindsay.

In the long run, I'm pretty sure this'll help me to get a greater understanding of the issues surrounding absence from work.

I'm out of the office until 20th November 2012

I'll be honest, our recently adopted "naked workplace initiative" is really freaking me out, so I'll be out of the office until 20th November- hopefully things will be back to normal by then.

If you need anything while I'm away, you can go and see Lindsay or Lou, but if you're offended by unfettered views of the human body, it's probably best to just phone or email.

I'm out of the office until 14th November 2012

I'm in a very slow moving queue waiting to buy something really popular.
I'm sorry I can't get you any, but I've only brought enough money for one and it looks like there's only a few left as it is.
The guy in front of me said he'd been waiting for two days already, so I guess this means I won't be able to make it back to the office until 14th November.

If you need anything while I'm waiting, please contact Lindsay or Lou.

I wouldn't get too jealous if I were you, most of the big ones have gone and to be frank, the ones that are left look a bit limp.

I'm out of the office until 7th November 2012

I appear to have upset one of the local aristocrats regarding which one of us will be out of the office until 7th November.
An altercation ensued and he has challenged me to a duel.
I was given the choice of weapons and have opted for pistols, but what my antagonist doesn't realise is that I am a crack shot and consequently I feel confident that it will be I who is away from the office until 7th November.

If you want to discuss the rules of engagement, please contact Lindsay or Lou, my batmen (or batpeople, if you wish)

I'm out of the office until 31st October 2012

I just had a bet with Chris that I'd be in the office until 31st October - but I lost.

Consequently, I'll be out of the office until 31st October.

If you need anything while I'm away, you can try to  contact Lindsay or Lou, but it was kind of sweepstake thing and they lost too.

I'm out of the office until 30th October 2012

Once in a thousand years, four distant stars lying at the heart of our galaxy fall into alignment.
On that day a chosen one will rise from amongst us.
On that day he will reveal his secret to the world and the lives of every man, woman and child will be changed forever.

I am that man. And this is the time...

Naturally this kind of thing comes with a whole load of time-consuming administration, so I'll be out of the office until 25th October.

If you need anything while I'm away, please contact Lindsay or Lou.

Please bear in mind that things will likely be quite significantly different when I get back.

I'm out of the office until 25th October 2012

I've entered a deep yogic trance and will wake, spiritually refreshed and enlightened, on 25th October.

Should you need any help while I am in this state, you should seek out Lindsay or Lou.

Alternatively you could set aside your worldly concerns, re-evaluate your life, and join me in the quest to reach a higher place of consciousness.

I'm out of the office until 12th October

I don't know if you saw it, but I've just been on "Wheel of Out of the Office". It's a new TV game show, where the contestants each take turns to spin a giant wheel to see when they're out of the office until. I got knocked out in the second round - but luckily nobody goes home empty handed, so I'll be out of the office until Friday 12th October.

If you need any help while I'm enjoying my winnings, you can contact Lindsay or Lou.

Incidentally, the star prize was an office. How ironic.

I'm out of the office until 8th October 2012

I've received a nasty bump to the head and can't remember anything about the whatsit.
I have a vague feeling that I'll be back sometime, but if you need whatever service I usually provide, you should probably contact someone (I think it's a woman) and they'll probably know what this is all about.
Or not.
I'm just not sure.
