I've never seen "OOO" either.
I think I may need to take my computer home this weekend. Remains to be seen if it gets turned on.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have to take a dish to my Big Family Gathering tomorrow. Should I take a dessert or bacon augratin potatoes? There are no dietary restrictions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bacon potatoes! I would enjoy those right now, except I forgot to get both bacon and potatoes at the supermarket yesterday.
We have only missed one Xmas together in 15 years
That's sweet.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Potatoes! Nom.
My only thought on OOO is that I would think it should be OoO, but then it looks more like a ghost noise, but that's kind of appropriate.
I am on IM in another window chatting with my husband about his mom's relationship problems. How did this get to be my life?
{{Sophia}} Your job doesn't define you. Good luck figuring out what's best.

I've seen OOO a lot, but...usually in context? If I saw it out of context (like, not on an email referencing when you'd be out of office, and probably spelling it out the first time or in the subject or something) I'd probably be confused.
Sophia, that's awful. Definitely time to consider being costume designer for one show a year, or something. For local theater instead of the school. Or SOMETHING. Hell, even if you were doing it for free, it would be less STRESSFUL.

Oh, and I am ALWAYS ooo, but don't usually turn my email on (since I'm checking it), but half the time forget to do my phone. And then cross my fingers and pray no one calls. Usually they don't.

Bacon potatoes? I feel like I need to know more about this.

Bacon, potatoes, and cheese is a blessed trinity.
