What the fuck is wrong with people? When my dad died, I changed my voicemail and email autoresponse to say that I'd had a family emergency and would be out of the office indefinitely. I have had at least three people (only two of them students) send an accusatory or abrupt second email or call saying that they have not heard from me. Seriously? If I had gotten an autoreply like that, I would have immediately sent "I hope everything's okay, I'll wait to hear from you". Of course, I'm getting some satisfaction from replying "my dad died, sorry that I couldn't deal with your petty bullshit"
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
vw, I'm so sorry.
Vortex, I will happily stabbinate any people who are rude to you.

Vortex, can you get your revenge in some way? require them to fulfill every single little requirement (academia has so many of them) before you let them proceed to the next step? obstruct them at every point? THWART THEM!

Vortex, I hope your reply made them feel like the douchenozzles they are.

Wow, Vortex. That takes a really special brand of entitled asshole. I'm sorry you have to deal with them on top of everything else.

The status is NOT quo.
Wow, Vortex. That's hideous.
