Smells like NRE

He has a clear voice that carries well, tailor-made for running sales strategy meetings. His office is two cubes from mine and I often have to use headphones to retreat from his phone conversations. Just now he was prattling away and I heard, "... smells like NRE ..." and I thought that an interesting thing for a Mormon to say. Out loud. At work.
New relationship energy (often abbreviated as NRE) is a state of mind experienced at the beginning of most significant sexual and romantic relationships, typically involving heightened emotional and sexual receptivity and excitement. -- Wikipedia
But then I remembered. Oh yeah. At work.
Non-recurring engineering (NRE) refers to the one-time cost to research, develop, design and test a new product. When budgeting for a project, NRE must be considered to analyze if a new product will be profitable. -- Wikipedia
Maybe I should think about work more while I'm at work.
