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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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!"

Art Crawl!!!

I get that it's "close of business" but here COB means College of Business.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"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!"

SERIOUSLY.

And it continues. I just got the most obnoxious response EVAR, "clarifying" what she's looking for.

I'm seriously about to cry.

I would love to! Instead I am going to hold out until I leave here, which will be VERY shortly.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
