Coffee on my Monitor

Vacation auto-reply received at work:

"I will be on vacation until  8/13 and will not have any access to email.  This is a good test to see how the factoring and asset -ased world functions without me (I am not optimistic). 

Just imagine how relaxed and pleasant I will be when I return. Makes my absense almost worth it, doesn't it?

This message is being sent to you automatically.  I wish the rest of my life were that simple."

BWAH!!
