Has anyone heard this expression before?
I just received an auto response email from someone. Am I the only one who's never seen this expression?
"I will be out of pocket at meetings until Monday December 3rd with limited access to e-mail. I will respond to you as soon as possible.............Thanks, Tom"
Out of pocket??
It could be just me, but I've never heard this before.

Re: Has anyone heard this expression before?
No, that's a new one...out of pocket refering to being unavailable 
Sounds kind of British

Re: Has anyone heard this expression before?
That is so weird. I mean, I would consider myself working in Corporate america, I work for a large corporation employing 20,000 people, and yet I've never heard this expression!

Re: Has anyone heard this expression before?

I have been in corporate america for about 8 years and have never heard this
I HAVE heard too many times to mention "at the end of the day...." and "it is what it is" though

Yup, they use it at my company all the time. My understanding is that it means they'll be there at work, but you won't be able to get in touch with them.

Yes, I hear it, read it, and ... even say it a lot.  But I never heard it before I went real corporate.
In my office it's usually "I'm so sorry I've been out of pocket this week. I've had back to back meetings on XYZ."
or
"I'm going to an event so I'll be out of pocket for a few hours."
It just means that you won't be available.
