My Out-of-Office's message during Mathieson and Wife's Confinement


Thank you for your email.

I am away on confinement duties to be with my wife, who had safely delivered my my second child and only son on 16 May 2012.

During my time away from the office, I will be swopping business proposals, design, solutions and deployment documents to perfoming online searches with keywords such as "changing diapers for baby boys" and "preparing and helping my toddler for the arrival of a new baby brother".

A far cry from my OoF in 2009 when the arrival of my first born and daughter. Then, I was trading my online searches for Microsoft Whitepapers and KBs to Operational Manual for Newborn babies. This time round, I feel a need to acquire new and different skills. I may also need to un-learn a very useful skill which I have honed over the past 2 years, i.e. sleeping throughout the night while my daughter's crying. Then again, it depends.

Meanwhle, if you have tips on dealing with the birth of a second child, feel free to send them to me.

I will return to work on 18 June 2012, Monday.

During this time, I may have limited access to my email. Please expect delays in my response.

Thank you and best regards,

Johnson
