It's a simple situation for me: It has been well over a decade since I had an Official Work Email Address of my own (ignoring a brief stint at a care home), and at the same time it's been a very, very long time since we've been able to spare the time or the money for a holiday. Don't get me wrong, I've -seen- Out Of Offices (and, uh, been impromptu Tech Support for people trying to set them up), but I've not done it myself for a looong while ;)
