103. Good morning. I'm sorry about the attitude.

Jul 2025

I've been dealing with acronyms my entire adult life, particularly at my job. I've often wondered why people can't just spell the entire word. In my humble opinion,
it ain't that hard. At my job, I've had acronym conversation, often resulting in miscommunication. It's one of my triggers.

Again, I'd like to apologize for the nasty tone. I will reflect on this during my afternoon beer.
