The worst (best?) auto-reply I've ever seen

I challenge anyone to share a more offensive auto-reply than this one. I'm not entirely sure what message this person is trying to convey, but the message I'm reading is, "I don't mind wasting your time by asking you to read this entirely superfluous email note to tell you that I don't want to waste my time reading what could potentially be an important email from you."

The best/worst part of the email? The sender suggests sending a text message an alternate method of communication in case what you orginally sent was important, but then doesn't include a phone number.

Bonus challenge: Can you guess what the sender's profession is?

 

 

The Tragic End of Project Egg

Project Egg officially ended today with particularily nasty results.

 

Here’s the lesson – if you have a deformed egg and think keeping it in the fridge for four months “just to see what happens” is a good idea, I”ve already tested that hypothesis…it is not.

 

It cracked and oozed out this incredibly foul beige coloured liquid. I tried to pick it up but the foul beige liquid had hardened to the fridge shelf, so the eggs broke open and that’s what came out.

 

The blurry photos don’t do it justice, but I was having a hard time breathing.

The Banff Centre

I went out to the Banff Centre yesterday for the Cybera Summit – they ran a mini-DemoCampBanff to expose the idea of DemoCamp to a different group of people. I think it went really well.

 

The Banff Centre is an amazing place – so beautiful. The food there is always delicious and the scenery is obviously outstanding. I love that their tagline is “Inspiring Creativity.”

 

I saw this in the bathroom (horribly shot from my camera phone) and couldn’t resist making the comparison. Even in the bathroom, when you are drunkenly buying tattoos for two, the Banff Centre would like to remind you to be creative.
