I never would have thought twice about this if we had never bought a computer.
I am covered by a dental plan through my employer and last Tuesday for the first time in years I had to furnish a copy of my plan card, they just copy both sides in the dentist's office and put the paper in my file. When I got it back I looked at the title on the card, it is Southern California Lumber Industry Welfare Trust Fund, this is printed in large bold type across the middle of the card but because the card is small it is abbreviated and looks like this, SO. CAL. LUMBER IND. WTF, reading this made me laugh so hard that I'm sure the receptionist thinks I'm crazy, now I enjoy showing the card to friends and asking if they see anything out of the ordinary.

A bald man named Savalas visited me last night in a dream.  I think it was a Telly vision.

I am a film archivist but my official designation is Senior Industrial Technician: abbreviation SIT so to other people, all I do is SIT around all day.  :teddyr:

I have just realized (thankfully) that I am a Senior Industrial Technician and not a head of department, otherwise I would be a Senior Head Industrial Technician.

It gets worse: colleagues tell me that the official designation of a head of that department is

Senior Head Industrial Technician: HEAD.

I don't need promotion: I'll stay where I am for now, thanks.  :buggedout:
