IF U CAN READ THS, U CAN GET A GD JB
A really witty article written by George Simpson for Mediapost. "A brief story on the Sales & Marketing Management Web site discloses that, "Text messaging is no longer just a lingo for the kids. Today, the virtual shorthand is increasingly prevalent in the workplace." The story goes on to list the 10 most commonly used workplace acronyms, among them: NP (No problem) JK (Just kidding) CB (Call back) TTYL (Talk to you later). "That's a nice start, but I (Simpson) don't think it covers all of the important things that business people need and/or want to say to each other each day. For example, here are some of my own: -- L8AGN? (show up at 10 again and you'll be back in direct marketing in a heartbeat) -- CCNY? (This is just horrible. Who taught you to write copy?) -- $Yes$ (pad the billings, bigtime) -- NOWAY (give it up, she knows you are married and she's dating a Tae Kwon Do instructor at the Y) -- HGOVR (Do it yourself, I was out with an important client last night) -- LOL (read your performance review) -- CYA (we lost the account and human resources wants to see all of us on Friday at 3:30) Simpson bets you have some of your own. Send them along and he'll post the funniest ones in a future column. Editorial@mediapost.com. |
