Messed up at work because of this. LOL

While writing a department-wide e-mail, I wrote GFE, twice, where it should have been GFI (referring to the type of electrical outlet).

Let's hope none of those email recipients are also on the board. Double oops.

Well, if they are, then it's also an "oops" on them. Anyway, it's all guys so no one would care.

 

[tonymccallan]

That's bad. Can you recall the email? Although nothing wrong, just a typo. I think you will be fine.
I had worse, I once was typing a url address in the browser at work and accidentally typed the address of this board (the names were close enough in the first part of it and my finger memory played a mean trick on me). Obviously, the address got a blocked result. No consequences for me, and I cleared the cache etc, but I know that all hits and requests are monitored and stored. This was a while ago, so I think I was given a slack back then.

Try GFCI, it’s a bit more away from your mistake, but refers to the same thing.

For this reason, I have a separate personal laptop, but mostly use my personal phone. I only do work things on my work computer.

Fortunately, I am able to keep these acronyms stored in my head only. I have a chuckle when I use the ATM machine.

I only use my personal phone to do my dirt

 

[tonymccallan]

Well yeah. But you only have a pair of hands with fingers and a head (2) which don't really recognize whether you are using your private phone or work gadgets Could be very embarrassing if the big head does not think and the hands are doing their job and just slip for a second. Especially when you you are plowing through 300+ emails a day or doing work online and then all of sudden thinking of something else. Hard balance, but yes, everyone needs to be a pro in this world.

Write GFCI next time! Lol

Same when I drive the Cross Island Parkway (CIP)

I was doing a projects with some high school students to design a hypothetical museum at Columbia University. I went with MoCU as opposed to the obvious. One of the Spanish students pointed out that means booger in Spanish, which was preferable to the alternative. We stayed with booger.

Yeah, I always get a little chuckle when I see those digital signs.

They get me thinking about one of my regular ATF's.

 

[bscottpd]

You have a regular at Alcohol, Tabaco and Firearms?

 

[tonymccallan]

Dudes, our minds are now wired differently. This is scary.

 

[roo22]

Any Front End devs use Angular?
This gets a crack outta me every time:

We have a FormService that we refer to as 'FS' in chat. "Getting a 404 error on FS, when will it be available?"

We also configure the ValueProvider Injector and I always think of the providers with best value

 

[tonymccallan]

Tech guys are even worse in this sense with all the acronyms and internal slang

 

[bscottpd]

You don’t want to know how many acronyms the military has!
