I’m OOF, btw.
At Microsoft, when you’re out of the office, you’re OOF.
Which is strange because it should be OOTO instead.
So what does OOF stand for? Some believe that it stands for “Out of Office Feature” – e.g. the feature in Outlook where you can set your status and to automatically send notices that you are out. Others believe that it’s Out of OFfice. Finally, some believe that its just fun to say.
In any case, I’m OOF in NY. Today I was at the MOMA and I thought it’d be fun to take this photo:

While I’m at it, here’s the info plaque for another very interesting piece of art at the MOMA – I couldn’t take a picture of the art itself. You’ll see why:

The Out of Office Feature was someone from Outlook’s explanation. He might have been biased though.

The secret to great art is not the piece itself, but the ability to convince people that it is in some way important despite all appearances to the contrary.
