Gimme some work related jargon...

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

I'm dying to be confused. Here, I'll start:

Hey, I just got the TDS on the DT 7101. I had no idea the MVTR was 6000 g/m2/24 hours. That's good breathability!

[bahrbearian]

1. O.K , we're going to tag out this main line to that stump.

the Hook Tender in standing on , so run this haywire down to the pass block below him,over to the other block, and back up to the yarder. Toot Toot Toot.

[democracyindanger]

2. It's really viral.

It reaches the target at a level that breaks through the clutter. And it's totally on brief.

[blondeatlast]

3. The BID is for a different ISBN.

Source is B&T, the MARC record needs a correction.

[skygazer]

4. I've got my CPS in the gun

And I have to tear down that MED and replace it with the appropriate POS for the upcoming schematic.

Therefore, devolution of profit and revenue responsibility is an essential enabling component of strategic decision-making oriented to market growth vectors.

6. I hit the VOR at two-five-zero and made the penetration

down to the IAP.
Shot an ILS (cut the EYES out of it!) down to mins, but no joy, so had to make a low go and do the missed. F*cking WX was zip-zip.
JP-4 was a little skosh, but we'd filed nearby OAK as the alternate and managed to grease it there.

Ain't no lingo like pilot lingo.
;-)

[democracyindanger]

7. NO SEX THREADS!

[trof]

9. Ha!

[LynzM]

17. Holy crap, Trof

I don't think I understood a single thing you just 'said'. Wow.

[trof]

25. Thank you. Translation:

I arrived over the VOR (a radio navigation fix...Variable Omnirange Radio, if we must) at 25,000 feet, descended according to the (FAA) published and proscribed flight path, speeds, and altitudes down to the Initial Approach Point.

For the final approach to the San Francisco (in this case) airport, I performed an Instrument Landing System approach. My instruments indicated that I was EXACTLY on path, on glide slope, for the entire approach. Thus I "cut the eyes out of it".

I flew the approach down to the minimum altitude proscribed (typically 200') and did not see the runway (no joy" due to fog. The ceiling was zero and the visibility was zero. Thus "f*cking WX (weather) was zip zip".

I was a bit low on fuel (JP-4 was a little skosh), but had filed in my original flight plan an alternate airport which we would automatically proceed to if we couldn't make SFO. Oakland is about two minutes across the bay.

The landing at OAK was uneventful and very smooth. I "greased" it on.
Pilots ALWAY grease it on. At least that's how we tell it.
;-)

[LynzM]

29. Gotcha.

Wow. It's impressive how well that condenses! Thanks for the translation :) You learn something every day!

[jmowreader]

32. I thought VOR was VHF Omnidirectional Range

:shrug:

Quick question, though: what do you do if both SFO and OAK are unusable?

[trof]

37. 1. You could be right. I'm a geezer.

I plead non compus mentis and i was too lazy to look up VOR.
2. Don't go.
;-)

OK, San Jose would be acceptable.

[knitter4democracy]

8. How about some knitting?

Everyone knows "knit one, purl two," but we don't actually do that. It's more like:

CO 98, provisional. K in st.st. 6 rows, starting with p row (WS). Garter ridge. K in st.st. 6 rows. Join. K in st.st. 21 rows. Start dec rows: K1, ssk, k to last 3, k2tog, k1. Rep every 6th row until 88 sts. Start inc rows: K 1, m1sltrt, k to last 3, m1sltlt, k1.

Stuff like that. It looks like programming code or something sometimes. :)

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

10. Yikes...

Was that a scarf?

[knitter4democracy]

12. Nah.

It's the beginning of the t-shirt I'm knitting for myself in a nice wool/cotton blend.

Scarves are easy: CO 20. K all. BO. Unless you want something fancy like the DNA cable (http://noodle.pds.k12.nj.us/june/)--then it's usually charted because the written out directions would take forever to read.

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

11. Officer, why did you pull me over?

"You were weaving, sir."

Weaving!?! I can't even knit!!

[knitter4democracy]

13. Even better joke

Car's weaving all over the road. Cop yells out, "Pull over!" Car keeps going. Cop yells it again, and the car doesn't stop. Cop pulls up alongside the car, yells out again, "Pull over!" The lady looks over, holds up her knitting and says, "No, cardigan!"

Silly, I know.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

14. I'm still laughing...

That was brilliant, HalfMan.

[LynzM]

30. Yeah...

Talk about an intimidating language to try to learn.... especially when your interpretation comes out directly in your work!

[knitter4democracy]

42. It's easier than it looks, actually.

If you know what the terms mean and read them out loud as you work, it works out fine. :) I'd be happy to teach anyone. :hi:

16. How many speed loaders are you carryin'?

;)

[bahrbearian]

21. I never use speed loaders , I just change guns.

[democracyindanger]

26. Hey, answer this question

Not to hijack the thread, but this was posed in the Lounge a few days back:

You drive up to an intersection. Let's call the streets Democratic and Underground. Both are two way streets. Democratic St., which you're on, has stops signs. Underground St. does not. You want to take a left onto Underground, but have to wait for traffic to clear.

A couple of minutes pass as you're waiting, and a car headed the opposite direction appears on Democratic. He wants to go straight across Underground.

So who has the legal right of way: You, because you arrived at the intersection first, or the other guy, because he's going straight?

[jmowreader]

33. He does, he's going straight

He can go where he's going without crossing in front of you. You can't, so you wait.

[LynzM]

18. Clinical data management

Check in CRT and see if that DCF has been indexed. Then cross check it with OC to see if the DCMs match.

Ok, it's not very interesting, mostly just lots of acronyms and project-specific crap. Meh.

[Left Is Write]

19. The MD needs to meet with the PD about this add.

It'll be in high rotation before chart day. Did you revamp the clock?

[knitter4democracy]

23. I like some of the other ones my hubby uses.

TFBUNDY: "totally f'd but unfortunately not dead yet" (often heard in the ICU--which is actually just called the Unit)

LOLNAD: "little old lady in no apparent distress"

GOMER: "get out of my ER" (usually an older person with Alzheimer's or something like it that's very difficult to treat or even deal with)

O-Sign: "mouth open" (Usually seen on gomers, means they're still alive)

Q-Sign: mouth open, tongue sticking out on one side (dead gomer--not often seen)

Narc-seeker: someone who doctor shops just to get any kind of narcotics--very annoying

I highly recommend the Placebo Journal if you're looking for dark, sick medical humor at its finest. http://www.placebojournal.com

20. Three down, everyone take two. Fours before the head.

Last eight to start.

What is this workplace and what's going on?

[trof]

27. Las Vegas

Poker
;-)

[Ron Green]

28. Good guess, but it's not the workplace I had in mind. (Although it could

be in Las Vegas.)

It's a band leader saying "key of Eb (three flats, or three down), everybody play 2 choruses, trade 4's (with the drummer) before coming back in at the head, and use the last eight bars for the intro."

ah-one...... ah-two......

[RandomKoolzip]

22. So I had this 1/9 cambro full of demi-glace.....

And before I could emulsify the EVOO into the demi-glace, we had to establish a par for the tomato concasse. And it wasn't even cut chiffenade!

[Riding this Donkey]

24. how many cold calls have you made today, how are your metrics? n/t

[solinvictus]

31. We need the EOB or the claim may be denied for COB information n/t

[Book Lover]

34. An email from today:

So does the map print on Cii of the ISE as well as the IE and SE? Have you checked the EAN conversion for the ISBNs? Please note that the SE is in JDE with InfoTrac as the default but the IE is not. If the PBM is able to negotiate with the RRD and have the titles bind as default InfoTrac, then an NOC must be done for the IE.

36. I created a couple of 3 gigJournaled File Systems, on raid3vg...

40. Something you might say to somone who is learning to ride gain.

Bring down the pot on the DAT, It's way to hot. You're practically pinning the needles.

Remind me to tell John to adjust move his lav further down and to make sure the pop filter is on. He's got it up too high, and his hard consanants are popping all over the place like Oriville fucking Redenbacher.

And a comment I made to my superior today.
