Address your nonsense to your boss
Got every last detail of your summer holiday already organized down to even what you’ll kids will wear and eat? Playing it cool this summer with a pair of rain boots and a secret stash of glitter at some upcoming festivals? Or maybe you’re 100% ready to do nothing but read a few books while sipping some cocktails?
Whatever gets you in the mood for summertime indulgence, don’t forget to set up an Out-of-Office message for you email. Yes, you may experience extreme separation anxiety at the thought of not checking your inbox, but get over it—you’re on holiday!
The Challenge
Time to relax, sit back, and think up the ideal Out-of-Office message for your email this summer. Be original, bold, funny but brief. Get creative and make it into a Haiku or be brave and tell your clients and boss what you’re really up to. Just make sure it let’s everyone know that you are far away from your inbox and enjoying every single minute of it!
The Prize
Now that your email is taken care of, put the digital technology aside and have some analog fun. Enjoy lasting holiday memories with the Kodak Single Use FunSaver Camera. Start looking at things in a new way now that your are not glued to your smartphone. Explore your creativity without the hassle of trying to get the perfect shot.

Just like Alice Cooper sang: Editor’s out for summer! Okay, I have to admit, there are a few syllables that don’t quite match the metrum. Nonetheless, I’m out of office and in two weeks I will be back, sunburnt (have you seen my skin type?) and relaxed.
Gone Fishin’
Diving in… getting to the bottom for you!
I’m having an out of office experience.
I will be back soon enough but until then – have a great Summer!
