Jargon Overload

Today was Day Three at The New Job.
It again struck me, as I closely observed my new colleagues dealing with the effects of the Zotob virus that struck yesterday, this truly is Geek Heaven.
What I found particularly striking was the sheer number of three- and four-letter acronyms being tossed about with reckless abandon, almost gleefully, and with a blissful unawareness of the inability of the new folks to follow along. How is that supposed to be helpful?
I figure a guy could make a mint by publishing a glossary. Coincidence or not, I think that’s going to be one of my assignments.
