XY & Zed

Today I left a voicemail for a man at work:
"This is Jaci from NSDP at the MOH, and I'm calling to confirm your attendance at the NGHN EAF meeting on Monday."
The crazy thing is, I knew what I was talking about, and when he checks his voicemail, he'll understand it, too.
My life has become full of acronyms. I live in NZ (Z pronounces "zed."). I work at MOH and I have conversations about the NGHN Project and meetings with people from HISAC, ACC, NZTPS and REANNZ. I have TORs signed and call people who live in OZ. I take minutes at IQA, EAF and SGC meetings about things like IPs, PAS, DHBs and GPs.
Apparently Amy and I were wrong when we thought we wouldn't have to learn a new language when moving to New Zealand.

That is hilarious...it is like your own secret code language! Are you sure you aren't in the CIA??!

So, Jaci, do you work at that place that called me for a reference?
