Look at me on my high horse
Why do people write nite instead of night? Is the one letter they are saving really going to make a big difference? Because that is essentially all they are gaining. Did the g and h do something to piss people off that I'm not aware of? I'm just as guilty as anybody else of using shortcuts in instant messages and emails. I use BTW instead of by the way. I use b/c instead of because. But in my defense those are completely different. I am saving mucho letters. Come on people. Get it together.

On that note, I gave a presentation yesterday talking about patient follow-up visits and abbreviated "follow-up" as f/u. One doctor in the audience stood up, silenced me, and let me know under no uncertain terms that "f/u" means "f*&#-up." Let me tell you -- if I were anywhere within 3000 miles of Paris, I'd be having several stiff drinks with you tonight. I'll just swig some in your honor.
looks like rachel really f/u-ed that abbreviation! (dude...that was a good one)
My HOA's annual meeting took place s last week (don't ask) and the flyer/invite mentioned that they were hoping for at least 17 HO's to show up.
Color me disappointed!
Who the hell is dg, and what is HOA? did i mention that I am drunk right now? i didnt want to disappoint lee and pegs, after all...hooray engineering social! where they supply pizza, fat tire, and sierra nevada for free!
Does your engineering social also come with internet access, or are you home already from the big party? Either way, pretty lame.
As the wonderfully insightful Pegs pointed out, HOA is probably short for "Home Owners' Association". An HOA meeting without at least a couple of HOs would certainly be more than a little boring.
And to DG: I apologize if my brother, in his charmingly inebriated state, failed to give you a warm Alexanderpool welcome. If you like reading about HOs (and who doesn't?), check out some of the archives, including:

Honey, enough already. I already told you, Yes, you do have a shot at the Alexanderpool PR position.
I could be wrong, but in answer to the first half of Damien's inebriated question, I think that dg is one Mr. Damon Gant. Hi Damon! And if you're not Damon, hi dg!
