Reason Why I Hate My Job #42
Filed under: Vexed - February 20, 2007 @ 4:41 pmToday at work I got yelled at by my manager for abbreviating words in notes I took for a meeting. The words in question were “info” and “re.” I was told I needed to spell them out fully, so “information” and “regarding.” Keep in mind that we’re talking about stupid note taking, not an official document!
And this in a place RIFE with acronyms.
So then I asked her about her abbreviation for “no later than” - she uses “NLT.” She said, “oh, that’s acceptable.”
So WHY can you say “NLT” instead of “no later than”, but you can’t say “info” for “information”?!
WTF?! I mean - what the fuck?!

Why aren’t you on fucking IM if you’re posting this shit right now? That’s just rude.

“NLT”?? No one knows what that means! Your boss is whack. Probably time to masturbate in the office again to balance the universe. I settle for taking long poops, but masturbating is even more fun.
