Too lazy to make a new puzzle so we'll snatch one out of the grab bag.

A little twist on the container puzzle. All answers contain a three-letter acronym. The word(s) in parenthesis identify one possible area of use for the contained acronym as some could be used in various places. Identify the container word, the acronym and the meaning of the acronym.

Example: type of alcohol (9)(methods management) iSOPropyl Standard Operating Procedure

One in the first 24 hours please.

-1. an optical illusion (6)(banking)
-2. a vow (6)(lighting)
-3. strip (7)(theater or show venue)
-4. cobbler (9)(computers)
-5. Charon for example (7)(banking)
-6. used on pillow edgings (6)(banking)
-7. fracture (8)(law enforcement)
-8. escape (7)(scheduling)
-9. challenging (7)(office correspondence)
-10. metric unit of volume (9)(chat) lol
-11. impediment (7)(scheduling)
-12. infant sponsored for baptism (8)(environmental)
-13. type of triangle (9)(signaling)


Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?
