"the younger hire today has become more and more attuned to brevity in writing"
Is that a veiled warning that applications may be written in textspeak?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Lying parents in commercials do bug me, but they are just annoying. But stealing you kids clothes -- I'm gussing your kids steal your too.

I hate getting all psyched up to make a phone call, iced tea, cigarette, and pencil and pad ready, and get ... voicemail. Argh.

You know what's really yummy? Snapple Nectarine White Tea. It's so barely sweet compared to most of their other drinks. I can chug that stuff.
I need a good chatspeak term/emoticon for laughing until I cry. Because I don't laugh my ass off. I weep with laughter.

OMG, just did 40 thank-you cards to all the people who worked for me this weekend. At some point, saying thank you loses all meaning, and just becomes the same words, over and over.
