Acronyms

One of the things at the Shitshow that never ceases to amaze me is the utter wreckless use of acronyms. Whether you are "submitting ECRs against the ICD for a CCB meeting in accordance with CMMI practices", whatever the hell that means......it's all Greek to me! Anyways, my first 6 months at the Shitshow literally involved me writing down acronyms for nearly everything you could possibly imagine. It was much like learning a new language. My first 6 months at work didnt involve me learning new engineering tools, or working in a lab designing circuit boards which would actually put some of my years of engineering school to good use. Oh no, I had to sit around and try to remember what the hell 5S stood for and what a RCCA is.

Since most people at the Shitshow havent done real technical work in decades, their brains atrophy and the ability for independent thought slowly dies. Hence, people create acronyms for seemingly obvious shit in an attempt to sound important or intelligent.

Because my brain is filled with Acronym Alphabet Soup and atrophies with every passing day at the Shitshow, I throw rocks.
