R.F.P.

Posted by BJ
Following on from my recent experience with W.I.P. (wherein I discovered that this acronym stands for many things besides “work in progress”), I decided to see what, besides “request for proposal” RFP might stand for.

The list I discovered follows. (As with my other entry, you’ll see that several of these are related to the work we do. Those being numbers 8, 12, 18, 25, 26 and for some of you 27. I was also surprised to see there was actually an abbreviation to be used for a particular single female friend of mine…that being number 28.)
