I go to sleep, I leave a message explaining as such. Today, someone throws a "Hello!" at me. I go off to Rutland for dinner, leaving a message saying as such, and the SAME person leaves me another hello. I just went to watch an episode of Veronica Mars, again explaining as such in an away message, and THE SAME PERSON AGAIN says hello. He could've saved a lot of trouble by noticing I'm away. ;)
It's one thing to leave me a message, as most people do, since that's why I leave the computer on and programs running. But this guy? Was obviously expecting conversation...
