As with others, where I work we are loaded with acronyms. An example: eBS consists of CIMS, COMS, CEMS, CE and formerly CAMS. CAMS moved to another BU, Finance. Other acronyms for BUs: PPR, LR, TS, and the ever popular S & M. We have applications that include PPS, GIS, and the one that usually causes anyone who has seen Office Space to laugh - TPS.
When I first get to work in the morning, I head over to TC to check on my MTLn-3 ErbB3-overexpressors. If they’ve gotten to 50-75%, I throw the alpha-MEM (+ 5% FBS and 1% P/S) and the DPBS into the 37 degree, wait about 30 minutes, and pass at 1:20.
The Scientist’s Creed: why use a name when there’s a perfectly good acronym available?
I work at a comic book store and the only code we use is 80s as in “Someone got some comics to sell. I think they are 80s.”
80s means any comics we think are not worth anything, but we still have to get someone who knows what we have and don’t have, just to make sure it’s not something we surprisingly need.
80s comes from the fact that comics from the 1980s aren’t even worth the cover price (So, sometimes it’s not even a code, just what they have, but what they have is an “80s”).
Reading this I now **must ** try and get my work to use secret codes.
We get way to many 133 and it would be great way to give the newer people a heads up about the “fun” they are about to have. 
fuk u h4x0r awpwhore. im 1337
(lol…) Just what some of those little children say on Counter Strike…
I don’t really need a code to talk to all one of us who work for McLauchlin Global Translating Enterprises Ltd.
I did use to work for the transit company, though, so I will tell you that if you’re in Montreal and you hear a code being called that begins “cent-trente” (130), that’s an employee’s number. If you hear one that begins “neuf cent” (900), that means that Something Bad has Happened. Get ready for delays.
Stuff the PDF and FTP ASAP.
