bad acronym

For a number of years now, everyone at my work has had to write a yearly PPDP - or "Personal Professional Development Plan".

...finally, someone decided that this was a stupid title.

So they renamed it. This year, we have to write a "Personal Management System".

(And no-one noticed the acronym. No-one.)



I keep getting emails from my boss asking how my PMS is going. It's starting to weird me out...

*headdesk*

Please to be noting the tag on this post. This whole debacle is getting truly ridiculous.


Having accepted my course (finally), I now have to enrol.

...which I just tried doing.


I have three subjects to enrol in - all of which have "co-requisites". Those co-requisites being... the other two subjects. Because, if you're doing any one of the subjects, you also have to do the other two.

And the computer system WON'T LET ME APPLY. Because...

Wait for it...

No, really...

......."You can't do subject A - because you haven't done subjects B or C yet. And, no, we won't let you do subject B. Because if you're going to do that, you have to be doing subject A (which you haven't successfully applied for yet). And no, subject C is out of the question. You can only do that if you're also doing the other two."


This is happening while I'm trying to enrol in ALL THREE AT THE SAME TIME.


Aargh!!!
