  • This week I learned something ...

    ... and what I learned is that, in terms of personal injury lawyers, "STD" on a file means "Short-Term Disability" ... and not "Sexually Transmitted Disease ..."

    I actually knew that, mostly since I have used short term disability. Your coworkers must have been dying.

      Sarcasm dear, sarcasm. I’m well aware that dealing with civilians in any capacity will skin your faith in humanity alive, then pickle anything that remains so as to watch it shrivel up into an immortal husk thus reminding you of how dead inside you now are.

          My son pointed out this weekend that the producers for the latest Star Trek series needed to be reminded that if a 15-year-old sniggers at your series' acronym, you're doing it wrong. ("Star Trek: Discovery" --> STD)

            A LOT of our subjects that we offer students at work have long names, so they naturally get shortened when we're talking about students in relation to a particular subject for student support sessions or whathaveyou.

            This has resulted in at least one subject having the (somewhat hilarious) acronym of "PORN." (Funnily enough, the subject has nothing to do with sexual health - we don't offer a sexual health course at work)

              Family law likely it would mean sexually transmitted disease.
