ah, efficiency

Today I received an email with the subject line: "Lunch at 1? (eom)", and an empty message body. I thought, wtf is eom? I almost wrote the sender back asking that question, but I decided to see if Google could hide my ignorance instead. And indeed, it was able to find an answer; see the explanation here.

Good thing I didn't write back to ask. =) However, I did respond with an "eom" of my own (someone else had written in the meantime, saying they brought their lunch but would hang out with the group anyway):

Re: "Lunch at 1? (eom)"...I brought my lunch today, too --k (eom)

I feel so trendy.
