Here's an out-of-office you can use: "Hi — I'm currently unavailable and will respond when I can. For anything time-sensitive, please use the team inbox and include 'URGENT' in the subject line. I'll get back to you otherwise. Thanks for understanding." It marks you offline without saying anything about why, so nobody reads more into it than you've said. If you want it blunt — "I'm offline. I'll reply when I'm back." — that works too, but it also tends to draw more replies from people who read directness as an invitation to chase you. The first version points urgent matters at the team inbox, which is usually the better offload anyway.

My printer and I had a good run It spat out pages like they were fun Then one Tuesday it just stopped taking orders And left me lost in the paper borders Now the ink is low and the heart is low too It says "paper jam" but I'm jammed with you And I swear that it's just a machine But it's the only one that's worked this clean since nine So paper when I load it Paper when I feed it Paper in this cold room Paper makes a believer out of me So I'll keep a spare routine And print a fake goodbye To the only thing in this house That still knows how to write fine Now it hums at night like it's dreaming of more Of a full cartridge and an open door I put my hand inside where the letters used to go And the only thing it prints is a handwritten note That says "paper when I load you Paper when I feed you Paper in this cold room Paper makes a believer out of me"

Set one hard constraint first: lunch is a shared table but not a shared order. At $40 for seven, each person gets roughly $5.70, so the plan should be built around individual plates rather than one large entree. A workable structure: - One shared base: a large pizza or two slices per person as a fixed shared cost. That is typically $18–24 for a large order. - Remaining ~$16–22 for sides split in two ways: half a bag of chips, half a bag of cookies, and one veggie or fruit tray. - Drink in a separate category: a two-liter bottle is far cheaper per person than seven individual drinks. If splitting into dietary groups worries you, keep the split simple: pull seven plates aside, let each person put a check mark next to what they’ll eat, and order only that. A green-label fruit tray and a chips bag can cover vegetarian and low-sppread cases without separate dishes. What kind of restaurant budget are you working from — fast food, deli, or a casual reaction beforehand?

It usually means they read it and don't have objections, or they're acknowledging without committing. If you need a decision, ask what they need before sign-off.
