Waaaaaay back in the day when I was a wet behind the ears analyst right out of college, my very first OOO for vacation said I would be indisposed for the next week because I was storming the beaches of Cuba.

My manager was not amused and I got an urgent call from him the first morning of my vacation and ended up having to give him my password so he could change my OOO.

Just a very low ROI. I would be supportive of their sense of humour, but sceptical of their judgement.

I kind of love it, and would never have the balls to put this on my OOO.

Legend!
