LUL staff - pay slips
"Kat" wrote in message ... In message , Richard J. writes Are you lot trying to beat the record for the largest number of acronyms in a single thread? So far we've had SAP, HRS/SUTOR, AGR, RVP, HRSAP, LFB, DVA. Reminds me of the Company Announcement from HR (sorry, Personnel) that announced an appointment to a new post of Director of XYZ (I forget the actual acronym) without ever explaining what XYZ was. So I e-mailed the HR Director, saying innocently that I didn't recognise that particular TLA. And she replied "What's a TLA?" LOL. Priceless... Acronyms are one of the joys of the underground (as I keep telling myself while safely locked in the GLAP ) I really believe that somewhere within 55 Broadway there's a little room whose occupants do nothing but dream up new words to confuse us. I got an e-mail today informing me that I had been booked onto some course or the other. I was to present myself at the SFA on the first floor of Ashfield House at 08:45 on the day concerned. After much scratching of the head (wearing out what little hair remains I might add) I gave up and gave L&D a ring. I was told that SFA stood for "Soft Furnishing Area" by someone who couldn't see that "waiting room" or "waiting area" might just be a little less opaque. At this point I gave a soft whimper and went back to the standard DMT pastime of smacking my head with a shoe lifting paddle until it was time to stop and go and get hog-whimperingly drunk. -- Cheers, Steve. If The Good Lord had meant for us to be fiscally prudent, He would not have given us the platinum credit card... Change colour to PC Plod's lights to reply. |
