In a previous post I talked about unusual terms, to us. I was recently a bit surprised to see an email with a subject line about "Hoarding the FTE".
As I have explained previously, I have a problem with being greedy, so to have an email about hoarding alarmed me.
The administrative approach is emails here is a tiny bit annoying. Almost every email has the same text: "See attached." I can understand not wanting to compose a long, complex explanation in an email. But often the attached is one or two lines. But every reader must download the attached, and then click on it to open. I wonder how many person-hours are lost. But I digress.
So, now we learn another new term. "Hoarding" refers to the visual barrier that surrounds a construction site. Who knew?
Just recently they took the hoarding off the new engineering complex. I was amazed at how much difference the hoarding had made. Suddenly we have a major new section of campus available. It gives me an alternative route to and from work, now that I don't have to walk all the way around that hoarding.
I think much of this present world is obscured by that hoarding tin. One day it will be gone and we will see G^d's heaven and the earth as it really is.
That will be a truly glorious day!

I'm curious how they "hoard" FTE's, assuming FTE means the same thing there it means here.
