Way back in the day when I as working for Imagineering there was an acronym book for Disney. It was probably 30+ pages. Every single attraction, restaurant, building, etc in every single park has a unique acronym. For example, when I was working on Space Mountain it was DL-SPAC. Then terminology like THRC which is Theoretical Hourly Ride Capacity, and it just went on and on.

It does not surprise me, for some reason, that Imagineers would be acronym-happy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
THRC at least makes sense to me -- it's got to be a measure they talk about a lot, and spelling it out is long.
I totally brought Steph's rule about no abbreviations unless it's in the piece five times to my staff meeting -- did I say that yesterday? We liked it!

Got my annual bonus this morning and have already sent off the entire thing to credit cards and cabin mortgage. All of which is good but still a little deflating.

OK, "credit cards" and "mortgage" do not sound like fun things to suck up your bonus, but "cabin' is pretty good!

Last year's bonus went to the down payment on the cabin, which was a lot more exciting. But I'm trying to pay it off within the 5-year ARM period so it does feel good to take a chunk off of that. I got a good deal, so it should be doable. More than half of the monthly payment is the property tax escrow.
But I do still have my tax return to do something fun with. Unless I get the billpay urge again.

Oooh, "paid off cabin" is very exciting!

I sympathize with the billpay urge, brenda. I'm trying to get my credit card paid off so I can buy a "new" car next year. It means I'm really throwing down on it every month, but I'm making payments double what I want for car payments, so I know I can afford the car payment when it finally starts!

Go Sail! That sounds very sensible.
Right, can't wear slippers to work. At least I realized before I got out the door this time.
