Jay, I meant to ask you.

Shoot, MG.

TY 06?

What about it?

You know what it means? What is it?

Technical year. 2006.

That's real? I thought Alana just made it up. What does it mean, though? What the hell is a 'technical year?'

It's the year that starts in January and goes through December.

Hm. As opposed to?

You know, the fiscal year, the insurance claims year, the awards eligibility year...

Jay, you are making these up.

Nope.

How do you know this stuff?

I don't know.

But the 'technical year,' that's basically the same as the, well, year year.

Yeah, basically.

So, why do we have to call it the technical year?

I don't know. I guess so we don't get it mixed up with all the other kinds of corporate years.

Or so dorks can feel important by using stupid made-up names for things that already have perfectly good names.

Heh. Yeah. I don't know. Anyway, I have to get to the Recreational Targeting and Allowances meeting.

The what?

Ah, it's just about who gets to use which space in the kitchen pantry, I think.

I rest my case.
