Natural Unaffable Talent for Stupid Acronyms (NUTS'A)

The summer of 2000 I was given the great opportunity to work at IBM in Burlington, Vermont. One of the things we learn at IBM, Burlington, the Microelectronics Division was that acronyms were special. At the IBM Microelectronics Division in Burlington, Vermont, we found that Life was More Interesting when you used acronyms All The Time. It just Spiced Things Up, and Made Us Feel Special. That way, No One Else would know what we were Talking About. Especially those Snotty Little Interns, when kept asking "What Does That Mean?" All The Time.

Unfortunately For Me, I Didn't Know Their Language, and Proceeded to Decline in Understanding until I Couldn't Even Attempt to Understand what They Were Talking About. This lead to Mass Confusion for me and All the Other Interns, which Could Only Be Solved by Intense Studying. After 4 Days of Intense Studying, I Still Didn't Know Squat. Fortunately For You, I Don't Agree with IBM in This Matter, and have Provided You with a Readable Copy of this Report.
