This 'oneself' sounds so stilted; I have not heard it a colloquial conversation. Maybe in books written in the 19 century thought :).>

I have a client, a large organization in California. On Friday I had to update my application installed on their server. And I install these updates via GoToMeeting, where we connect to a meeting and then they hand me control over their desktop. And while I do the update, since they put the conference call on speaker phone, I can hear the conversation in their office. I swear the entire office conversation was in Spanish, not a word in English (except when they said Hello to me). My point is, forget the proper English grammar. Pretty soon you will be chastised if you don't use the proper Spanish grammar :)
