Professionally ignore people with style.

I am out of the office, despite the optimism of this message thread. I am away on medical leave and pretending soup is a strategy. Last-minute revisions are still last-minute revisions even if you add a smiley face. I will reply after I am back, despite the current enthusiasm for immediacy. For urgent requests, use the agreed emergency channel if we actually have one. Your patience during my absence is both necessary and appreciated.
