Professionally ignore people with style.

This automated reply confirms I am unavailable, as previously implied by my calendar. I am away keeping a small person alive, which is somehow a full-time role. If this is about concepts, copy, or impossible timelines, the work can breathe. I plan to reply when I am back and marginally less annoyed. Immediate project needs should be routed to the active creative lead. Thank you for adjusting to this entirely foreseeable delay.
