Acronyms I Have Learnt From Work

Alright, so I’d like to share all the acronyms I have learnt from work to date. It’s pretty interesting how these work jargons influence your daily language/writing to the point that sometimes people don’t understand what you’re talking about.

Some of them obviously I probably already know from before but thought I’d just add it to the mix anyway.

Acronyms

AFAIK – As Far As I Know

ASAP - As Soon As Possible

BAU - Business As Usual

B2B – Business To Business

B2C – Business To Consumer

COB – Close Of Business

EOD – End Of Day

EOW – End Of Week

ETA - Estimated Time of Arrival

FMCG – Fast Moving Consumer Goods

FY - Financial Year

FYI – For Your Info

KPI - Key Performance Indicator

OH&S – Occupational Health & Safety

PNL – Profit And Loss

QA – Quality Assurance

RFP – Request For Proposal

TBD – To Be Determined

YTD – Year To Date

Anyway, I might’ve missed some but I’m keen to hear what other acronyms you’ve heard of out in the business world?

Updated WordPress Theme

Hey all,

Just updated my site’s wordpress theme to Desk Mess Mirrored.

Bit more of a personal touch to it.

Kinda got tired of the old theme.

Yes yes, I’m meant to be blogging but haven’t got around to it :S

Currently I’m working on a mini javascript project which provides an API to access Google Analytics cookies easily. On top of that, I’m also working on writing a search funnel script that tracks the funnel of keywords that users (new & returning) use through the organic medium.

Hopefully I’ll get to post that up soon :)

Fishing at Burraneer

Hi guys,

Just a quick update. Went fishing again last week with the boys at Kirkplace :D

Caught a stingray!

Bait I used? Live worms. Yep, I actually cut up the worms while it was still squirming around and threaded it through my hook. It was weird though. We were about to move our spot on the boat when I just decided to reel my line in, thinking I didn’t catch anything since I didn’t feel any bites.

While reeling it in, it just felt heavy. I thought I caught onto some rocks or something. Suddenly my rod bent downwards like crazy and I was like “Whoa!”. Lucky I brought my net otherwise I would’ve lost it as my line wouldn’t have managed that weight.

First time I’ve ever caught a stingray and I didn’t know what to do with it – no idea how to cook stingray. Would be awesome if I knew how to cook it Malaysian style. So I just cut the line and let it go, for it to live to see another day.

Was a crazy day. My friend Steve reeled in a crab using a fishing rod (what the?). Haha, too bad we didn’t get the net out in time and it let go of the bait.

Mooney Mooney Fishing Trip

Just thought I’d share some photos from my weekend. Went to Mooney Mooney to fish at the Hawkesbury river. Hired a boat with one of my mates, Rich.

Beautiful weather on the Saturday. Bright sunny day with blue skies. Perfect conditions for relaxing. Caught a whole bunch of fishes: silver bream, snapper, flat head, tailor and a mulloway (pictured). Funny that I caught a variety.

My 1999 Honda Civic EM1 Vti-R

Sorry guys haven’t been updating my blog recently. Been busy with my car pretty much hehe.

Just spent $230 yesterday at Supercheap Auto buying floor mats, car cover, turtle wax shampoo, lamb wool mittens, microfiber polishing cloth, meguire’s clay bar, meguire’s quick detailer and meguire’s wax. So yeah, I’m quite broke now! I’ve still yet to transfer the registration and pay the stamp duty! :(

So yeah, been pretty engrossed in it. Have washed and vacuumed my car yesterday and spent some time washing under the hood and applying some tyre shine to my tyres. Will need to find some time doing the clay bar thingy and waxing it. Is gonna be slick looking!

But yeah, some pictures below :)
