The art of the away message intrigues me. There are some people that just don't use away messages at all and let themselves go idle, others that don't use away messages or go idle, some people use the generic away message, some people use the most random away messages ever so you have no idea what they are doing or even what they mean, and then there are those that feel the need to explain what they are doing every minute of every day.
As much as I want to say that the people who tell what they are doing at all times of the day are annoying, I actually find myself completely addicted to them. When bored, I will read what each person is doing and know that if I check later I can find out what they did after that! I can't seem to keep up with my away messages like this...Most of the time I just put up a generic one or attempt to write one with what I am doing and leave it up for like 10 hours.....Take yesterday for example...I think I was at dinner from 5pm to like 10am;)~
I also find myself getting worried about those people that usually keep everyone update on their lives when they all of a sudden either disappear or keep the same away message up for hours at end without telling anyone what they will be doing that day. I mean, how dare they! They spend every other day keeping me up to date on what they did morning, afternoon and evening and today there away message says, "I will be around". I mean, what does that mean. Are they doing something they want to keep for the world?
I could keep going for hours about the art of the away message. Perhaps, I will write again later about this most exciting topic. But for now, "I will be away from my computer for a while".
