      Nah it’d be more like “Cambodia has internet, why didn’t you remote in‽”

      Then again, I could always blame it on security, “Tried, guys in netsec banned Cambodia addresses” LMAO

        Na. Best one is boundaries.

        Boss: Why didn’t you remote on?
        You: I was on leave.

        Every question always answers with I was on leave.

        If they still get pushy make it too expensive for them.
        Triple time and reimbursement for my holiday hours for me to look in, with time starting when I was called.
        Feel free to ad a minimum hours in there too.

      My go to is, “I was camping in a really remote part of the local National Wilderness Area, didn’t know something was wrong until I got back in cell range.”

      I also don’t work in IT but I’m an avid hiker so it’s hardly ever a lie lol
