My phone at work taunts me every day ...

As if the hobby weren't on my mind enough, every time the phone rings, I get to see this!

And to add to the insult, the next button down is for the extension of a woman whose name is the same as the RW name of someone whose company I greatly enjoyed.

Does the L3 one ever rings?

You need professional help.

Now that's hilarious!!!

That is great

In my past job, my boss frequently asked me to take care of all the CIM... (Customer Impact Messages). He wasn't one to hobby and probably always wondered why I smirked every time he asked me if I had taken care of the CIM...

Imagine mortgage underwriters, originators, etc who has to talk about good faith estimates (GFE's) all day.

I've had my CIM moments studying Computer Integrated Manufacturing.

In the Health Industry where I spent a lot of my IT career - "Provider" is the term for Doctors, Hospitals etc. and used CONSTANTLY.

"We need a list of Bay Area providers"
"Can you verify these providers?"
etc

In the Dallas area, there are a chain of facilities with the initials PSE, one of which I have to drive by on my way the HoTown.

My experience was somewhat similar, I had one week where people call me, either for sales quotes or such. Several instances the gal name was that provider's name so I kept be reminding of her which made me want to see her again and again.

I used to work at a place with some major hot admins. Every now and then they'd want you to fill out a form or some other such thing and then ask you to "reply by COB". I would then imagine walking in to her office and pumping a nut on her tits.

Discharge Planning.

The initials on my sons old baseball team was BG. I used to have a rear window sticker for his team and it was only the 2 letters BG but it looked like B&G.

Not sure how many socials in San Antonio where fellow Hobbiests and Providers would comment on that window sticker and ask me if it was because I seek out B&Gs.
