Quick question

[thistlechaser]

I'm a technical writer, and I've inherited a set of documents I have to maintain. Someone else created them, someone else named them. One of the file names is anal_timing. It's about timing analyst, so there's plausible deniability on the name, but every time I have to refer to them to someone else, I'm embarrassed. However, as long-time readers of my LJ know, my humor is kind of out of wack -- if someone brought me a file named anal_timing, I'd have a hard time not snickering out loud. My brain would SO go to the adult meaning first. But would other people?

So help me, friends list! What do you think about having a file at work named anal_timing? While the name could be seen as fitting, there are many other, not-potentially-offensive names that would fit too.

Seriously, we ALL snicker loudly at work when the "Services and Management Team" posts their agenda items because it says on our staff page "S&M" - I mean, COME ON! So yeah, "anal timing" would pretty much kill us.

Hahah I'd enjoy seeing S&M, too!

I think they finally changed it after they had to send something to the county executive and someone finally said "We can't call it that anymore"

Ha! Aww. understandable though, I suppose.
