Ubleha for idiots

  • ASAP

    Engl. "As soon as possible". Verbatim, as a technical term, reflects the paradigmatic project situation: all planned deadlines have been exceeded. "Do not mention any dates lest it be discovered where it got stuck or who is responsible! We all try to speed things up and always have. There’s a fire lit under me but do not panic lest it would get even worse!“  This, to a large degree, also intends to transpose the responsibility to the person asked to do something ASAP because it implies that the sender of the message is more expedient and better organized than the recipient. (See: ACRONYMS in general).

from Ubleha for Idiots – An Absolutely non useful Guide for Civil Society Building and Project management for Locals and Internationals in BiH and Beyond by Nebojša Šavija-Valha and Ranko Milanovic-Blank, ALBUM No. 20, 2004, Sarajevo, translated by Marina Vasilj.
