The bot only posts messages to the general channel, even if you PM with the bot. Remove the hardcoded "general" channel and respond to the channel from which it came.

Another thing that might be nice but not critical. Type in "where is metta?" and get back either "Matt Westgate is in" or "Matt Westgate is out". Easier than parsing a long list of OOO trying to decide whether or not his name is on the list.

I tried to find this repo so I could submit #2. I didn't know what it was called and actually had to search Yammer (OMG) to find the URL :)

On days when lots of people are out, it would be really nice to have a way to see who's in. Nice to have, but definitely not critical.

Trying to quickly scan a long list of names (a lot are out this week!) for a particular person is difficult. It would be great if it was alphabetized :)

This is much trickier than it sounds and involves a refactor of the bot.

The Who's Out API call in Bamboo isn't granular. If I submit a time off request that looks like this:

M: 1 pto day
T: 0
W: 0
R: 0
F: 1 pto day

Who's Out will show me as being out for the week rather than being out M and F. Instead I need to request approved time off requests and parse their daily metadata. The issue is I think I can only parts the time-off requests for which I'm responsible for so I may need a different API Key.

Related, I sent an email to BambooHR to see if they would consider making their Who's Out API call a little smarter before I refactor the Slack Bot.
