If Our Emails Were Honest

Aaaaah, vacation. That magical time when you get to unplug and enjoy your family and some well-deserved time off. Except....if you're like me, maybe you're not the best at actually taking time off. I have a vacation coming up, and if I were honest in my "out-of-office" reply, this is how it would sound:

Hey, I am not thankful for your email, but I don't know how else to start this. As you already knew, I'm on vacation from now until the 22nd. I'll actually be back on the 21st, but I really don't want you flooding my inbox the second I get back. I know the thing you emailed me about isn't that important, so it can definitely wait until then. Here's someone else's email. They probably won't follow up with you, but I feel better about leaving it as an option. But let's be honest, I'm reading this while on vacation and fuming inside. Sincerely, B-E-K-A-H (The spelling is literally in my email, but you still can't get it right.)
