Consider it Dunn» Rants http://www.rossdunn.com My name is Ross Dunn and this is my place to rant and rave about all things.

Tell me, do these make any sense to you?

Day Shift = AV
Night Shift = DS

Hmm, first how the hell does AV stand for day shift? Second, shouldn’t day shift be DS? I keep getting so damned confused because her schedule is shared with mine using these acronyms and I often have to plan my days around hers.

Stupid stupid stupid! And if these acronyms are sourced back to some historical word usage then blecht… can ‘em and upgrade to the 21st Century!

Rant complete… although for the record I die inside every time I see those damnable acronyms ;-)
