Out of Office Email Enters 60th Day – Agency Creates Search Party
Agency creates search party for VP of Finance after out of office email response enters 60th day. Mark Steinmark left for the Seychelles at the end of last winter and is the center of an agency funded search party, now entering its first week.
A brief phone call led us to Steinmark who remarked, “Oops. Sorry about that. I accidentally left my out of office message on. I’ve been here the whole time.”
The search party is less than convinced. “That’s not Mark,” party leader claimed. “Mark had more weight. Physically. He’s a whale of a dude. This guy’s fat too, but not Mark fat.”
Head of finance weighed in. “I’m not really sure whether that’s Mark or not anymore, but I applaud the search party for working to piece it together. All we can really do is trust their ultimate conclusions.”
In the meantime, Mark’s paychecks are on hold and a security guard closely watches over his daily activity.
Mark’s supervisor says, “We don’t know who the hell this guy is, but his deliverables are solid. That’s all that really matters until we find Mark.”
