Fucking too many acronyms in the IT industry.
These are actual acronyms used at my job
PSLA - Please see last action
SLA - See last action
PSA5 - Please see action 5
SL5A - See last 5 actions
PSLFew - See last few actions
WOL - Went online
GOL - Gone online
LM - Left Message
LVM - Left voice message
WHHWGOLLVMCPCB - What had happened was, gone online, left a voice message, and closed pending call back.
All of these are in use everyday when I read through trouble tickets. There are about a 100 more, but I don't feel like typing them out.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

I swear, it is like leet speak for professionals. I have a hard time believing people are so busy that they can't take an extra 2 minutes out of their day to type this shit out. Two minutes would cover an entire day's worth of half assing the documentation of critical situations.

DoD is probably used in the porn industry too.

Same with broadcasting and electronics. A lot of acronyms have multiple means also. Like PL, (private line), (party line), (public line). Or PA, (power amp), (production assistant).

not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

One of our old usernames used to be "assprod" short for Associate Producer. We had a lot of fun with that name - everyone here starts as an assprod and works up to manager. I used to be "masscon" for Master Control.

I call my News Director the Head AIC (asshole in charge). He earned it.
