I was in a meeting today at 10:00 am. The powerpoint slide said GPM. My boss and I asked what what it meant. The presenter responded another TLA and then laughed. At that point I started a list of acronyms that were used in meetings until noon.
I know what they mean, I what words mean
TLA (Third Letter Acronym)
GPM (Global Project Methodology)
LSF9 (Lawson System Function 9)
LBI (Lawson Business Intelligence)
PMO (Project Management Office)
PRC-EA (Patient REvenue Cycle - Enterprise Application)
CHSB (Community Hospital - San Bernadino)
WAD (Working as designed)
GA (Generally Available)
SGL (Service Group Leader)
FAS (Finance Administrative System)
DBA (Data Base Administrator)
I know what they mean, but don't know what words mean
SQL
RMI
IESC
RAC
BODI
CFA
BMC
Still don't know what they mean
MSCM
CBR
EDI
NSCM
Absolutely the Best!
ReplyDeleteSome of my usual (non-work) acronyms:
RO
SFIL
SNFIL
WNTW
ROD
NPL
ILY
and a new one (just invented) which can be used to describe any time of food that I decide is disgusting:
CC (Cottage Cheese)
The mother of all acronyms doesn't know those? Hmm, I am surprised.
