One ready-made excuse

Take this and vanish gracefully.

I am out for conference duty inside a lanyard-heavy networking habitat and one more notification may cause a dramatic weather event. Deploys, bugs, and incident chatter belong with the on-call humans, not my absence. I will answer once I have finished fistfighting the timeline and won enough to type. If something is actually burning, page the on-call team before emailing the void again. Do not improvise a sixth emergency just because mine looks entertaining.
