'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OMG, I already have a headache, but I am totally getting why microwave popcorn is a migraine trigger for ita. Somebody in a cubicle near me is eating some and the smell is hitting me right in the frontal lobes.
Yeah, it hits me the same way ever since I accidentally burnt some in a microwave five years ago.
Do I have to respond to an email that I just got (unrelated to earlier meetings) that said, "I was just wondering when you'd get that stuff to me!" The last email I sent her said "I will get that to you by COB on Wednesday." What the fuck time does she think COB is?
Ignore it until 5 and then say "Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, I was too busy working to finish X by COB today."
A coworker mentioned to me that she forgets that COB = Close of Business. Also, the original emailer is someone who once emailed me at like 8pm for information that she needed "today." So who knows what she thinks.

I was surprised at how evocative these are. The figurines themselves are mostly of people engaged in activity, and the way the figurines are breaking it looks as if the figurines are causing their own destruction.
[link] That made me laugh.
Unless there was clear reason for it to be otherwise, I always figured by saying "I need this by COB", it meant "send it to me before you leave work, which may be after I leave work, so that I will have it first thing in the morning to work on". Or something.
I usually see EOB. Although if I see an acronym I don't know, I Google.

I always assume "by COB" means wrapped around ears of corn.
OK, I've never actually seen the abbreviation "COB" before.

I love the hummingbird one. It looks as if they just decided to fly away.
I have had a few people ask me why I sent them an email with only EOM. I usually just tell them it's "End of Message" though I really want to say, "It's short for 'I don't fucking have time to figure out pleasantries to write you when all I really needed to say was in the subject line and could you just review the attachment already!?! GOD!"
I get that it's "close of business" but here COB means College of Business.
