abbreviations/accronyms and governmental organisations - SV650.org

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

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...

it's alright there's a hot blonde talking about further education now.. it all makes perfect sense and I think they do a worthwhile job

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!
