abbreviations/accronyms and governmental organisations
 

Why?! Why the need to spend all day thinking of new names for organisations and programmes, just so you can come up with a collection of letters to throw around?

Listening to a guy from LSIS (used to be QIA and CEL before they were merged) talking about trans-organisational relations between the LSC, DFES, BIS and LLUK, "the big drive towards continual excellence"...

Programmes and innovative think tanks, to help reduce NEETS and promote productive & cohesive communities; Skills for Growth (SfG), LSN and SFCF are keen to get involved with this sort of stuff.

I'm not feeling 100% as it is but all these accronyms are starting to make me feel a bit sick.. Thy m1te as wll b tlkin in txtspk :pukel:

Because they're a load of blood sucking leeches who need to try and justify their own worthless jobs to support their own worthless lives?

Civil service? Pah, service to whom...

Try working with the armed forces. When I first started on a contract we had with them I had to stop them every few minutes to spell one out. They got so browned off with me it was quite funny.

I helped out in the sales pitch to renew the contract later on and the only way we were to stand a chance was to hire several stupidly expensive former officers of colonel rank and above to translate our documents into military-ese. It really was a different language when they'd finished!

It's also possibly why military types find it difficult sometimes to get a job in the outside world once they get out!!

It's the same in my job. Every single department insists on being known by an acronym. However, thay change on such a fast basis, just when you learn one, it changes to something else!

One office at one of the stations I frequent with prisoners has a long office, maybe 60 feet long with five different "offices" in it, open plan style. Each one has a different acronym on the wall above it. I have fun winding them up making up words from the acronyms!

Can't seem to get

"Street shy, office monkeys" out of what's available.

Police is terrible for it, can have a whole conversations without actually saying a full word!
