I for a short time worked in the service department of an industrial machine distributor. My job was to work closely with the service supervisor and maintain records and schedules for repairs and service. The supervisor gave all of the technical information. My job title was Assistant Service Supervisor, I liked the work and the job title but did not kike the abbreviation and acronym.

There was a commitee meeting where a woman suggested the name of "Personal Electronic News Information System" for a potential service.

My neighbor, who was attending, suggested that would make an interesting acronym.

The woman turned scarlet and retracted her suggestion.

Bunch of years ago my hometown of Florence, SC was trying to name the new bus service. They didn't like my offering or the motto to go with it -

Florence Area Rapid Transit - Fly like the wind....

I few years ago Ball Aerospace Division staged an employee contest because they did not like thier acronym. They also did not like my friend's offering of Ball Aerospace Systems Technology And Research Division.

Don't feel bad, you're not alone. Back in '96 I worked as a Welder / Fabricator for Advanced Steel Systems, Inc. . We made all of the steel work - stairs, hand railings, infield tunnel structural supports, etc. for the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Not an acronym or an abbreviation, but your post got me thinking.

One of my first jobs was designing dies for the presses at a metal fab company. Lots of Vietnamese and other immigrant workers.

There were a few names on the time cards that always made me laugh every time I punched in.

Duc Qack was the most innocent one. (can't remember the exact spelling - it was 30 years ago)

... there were two others that were funnier, but as I type this I'm thinking this being a family web site and all, I really shouldn't say them. One of them rhymed with the Duc man. The other was significantly worse.

Speaking of acronyms, I find that I don't often recall what each one I come across stands for... I found this web site to be extremely helpful: http://www.acronymfinder.com/ (non-affiliated, etc, etc)
