A selfie of a person with the caption “That brief moment of clarity when you realize you are sitting in a room full of adults wearing matching lanyards, speaking entirely in acronyms, discussing a PowerPoint presentation that will be completely forgotten by next Tuesday.”

I got laid off right as I was having surgery last year, so I went to a few job interviews in a panic, on painkillers. At one point they were like "What do you think about XYZ" and whatever the acronym was, I had never even heard it. So I just looked around and said, "Acronyms, eh?" and laughed. And everyone else laughed, except one guy who realized I was bluffing, and that got super awkward real quick. But for a second, we all really connected over how fucking stupid it was. (MSP job for which I am grateful not to have)

    For anyone who doesn't know, MSP stands for Managed Service Provider, which is basically an independent contractor IT company that stands in for businesses' internal IT department if they're not big enough (or can't be bothered) to have their own.
