THE DELAYED E-MAIL RUSE: Have your e-mail sent hours after you’ve left the office. Microsoft Outlook actually has a timer that you can set on all outgoing e-mails. After writing your e-mail, go to the File tab and click on Properties; click the Send Options button; select the Microsoft Exchange Server tab; in the Send This Item option you can set the new time of delivery.
THE CALL-FORWARD SWITCHEROO: You can actually have your business phone forwarded to your mobile or home phone. Most services offer this functionality–all you have to do is call your local voice-support service. The operator should be able to automatically forward your calls.
COVER AND CONCEALMENT: RIM Blackberry is a handheld, wireless e-mail provider. This device lets you read and send your e-mails from anywhere within your service area. Why not e-mail from the beach?
THE REMOTE LOG-IN PLOY: GoToMyPc.com is a software application that you can download that allows you to open your office documents. It will look like you just stepped away when you’re actually at home.
