A BAP-errific Post
From the archives:
HAPPY BAPDAY!!! FELIZ NAVIBAP!!! MERRY BAPMAS!!! BON BAPLEANOS!!!
Explanation: Acronyms in companies are amusing. At work, once a year, we receive a bonus governed by a combination of our employee rating and the company's financial well-being. When I began work, this bonus was called "Variable Pay." All of my coworkers, however, still referred to it as a "BAP." I have absolutely no idea what BAP stands for. Over time, "Variable Pay" passed on and became "Performance Pay" and now is called something to do with profit-sharing. I don't even care - it will always be the BAP to me.
Anyway, since March 14th was BAP day, celebrate the BAP, but don't spend it all in one place! Happy BAPDAY!

Here at the office, BAP stands for Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. I personally prefer Be A Pal.
Given the annual bonus percentages at my company, it should stand for "Buy A Prezel".
