Just stumbled across your blog and thought I'd add my 2 cents.

Hey Nicoloff, it's too perfect, I gotta make the joke, which is the not-very-funny joke I always make which involves switching the words around in your phrase above and emphasizing one of them over the others and then adding a few so the phrase now reads:
"I'll work in *your* sector, if you know what I mean."

Anyone know what EOM means? I passed a store yesterday announcing with handmade signs in the windows it was having an "EOM Sale," like I was supposed to know what that is.
probably does not refer to gourds grown / made by Eddie Owens Martin, who called himself St. EOM, but one should always visit Pasaquan

I have to work with a NAPP report. Not quite sure what NAPP stands for.
My first guess for EOM would be equine orthopedics merchandise, though I could be wrong.
Rodnay,
Isn't it End of Month?
Like, "We've got to clear this shit off the books b-4 the end of the month?"
Here are your other possibilities, from the online acronym dictionary:
End Of Message
Election Observation Mission
Employee of the Month
End of Media
Enterprise Operations Management
Equations Of Motion
End of Mission
Electro-Optic Modulator
Every Other Month

You think they were having an Employee of the Month Sale? Them's are freaky deaky expensive usually...
