my boss
what an A**hole
he's out of the office today for the funeral of a family member. he just sends me an email from his phone that says :
really makes me feel comfortable to know you have had NO communication with me to ensure all is well. I guess nobody called and everything is perfect.
ummm, i try not to page and email and call people who i know are at a funeral mass!!! If you had wanted to speak to me, maybe you would have asked for me the 3x you called the office this morning!
thank you grrr, vent over.

Re: my boss
If I knew someone was at a funeral, I wouldn't have called either!

Re: my boss
I would simply respond "Out of respect for you and the people at the funeral, I haven't contacted you today. Thanks for checking in with me and I hope you are doing well"
Secretly, I would be thinking in my head "you are a dumbass"

Re: my boss
"Everything is peachy, thanks for asking!!" 
I wouldn't have contacted him either knowing he was at a funeral, tell him not to worry about work, reassure him that everything is fine.
And yea, what a d!ick!!

Re: my boss
when he comes in, ask him "did you really expect me to call / text you at a funeral?"
