I worked for a global health non-governmental organization (NGO) for a few years. It was an acronym-palooza. My favorite was PMTCT of HIV supported by our grant from USAID. That's prevention of mother-to-child transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus supported by the United States Agency for International Development, so you can see why people would want to stop typing the whole thing out after a paragraph or three.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That one is good! [Edit: ACHOO is good. I have also worked with PMTCT/USAID/ETC, so I feel that one.]

I work for an association and I have a full page of acronyms for other associations in our field that I routinely share with new employees. One of them in particular - one we deal with on a regular basis - has to be explained, along with its pronunciation.

Right. No superpowers. Got it. «wink».

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My aunt really isn't doing well. They have her in the cardiac ICU now. The doctor has been telling my cousin to make sure they've got all their papers in order, and to keep his phone charged and nearby overnight. I wish there was something I could do to help other than sit here in Cincinnati worrying while they're in Boston.

I'm sorry, Hil. Being at a distance makes it so much harder.
