How to Be TFAmous

So TFA has it's own subculture, and I realize that those of you who haven't drank the TFA Kool-Aid could get lost in all of the acronyms and references that I make. Hell, sometimes I get lost in all of it as well.

First off, TFA has a ridiculous number of acronyms. A typical sentence: "Peter, could you please share out some reflections to your CMA on how it was to transition from a CCC role to becoming a CM? You can find some closed notes to help you do this on page 516 of your BARB, and it will be due according to the date on your WIDWATW."

That last one, the WIDWATW, stands for "What is due, when, and to whom." Other people call it a "calendar." I call it a "wigwam."

It's interesting trying to indoctrinate myself into all of the jargon; hopefully I won't get too caught up in all of that when I'm blogging (which I've loved doing so far, even though the only person reading this right now is myself, since I haven't send out the address to anyone yet...woops.) But that's a key component of the culture here, is getting everyone indoctrinated into all of this, so what the hell, it's fun to use ridiculous stuff like WIDWATW and BARB (Big-Ass/Awesome Red Book) all the time.

peace and love from the grand canyon state,
