Someone says

The job I lost

I worked at a Mortgage lending company & was laid off 11/07. The people I worked w/were the most amazing people. From the owner to the bosses, fellow employees & clients. I truly loved my job & looked forward to going to work each day. I took on each day as a new adventure to conquer & did that in 2006 when I rcvd Employee of the Yr award out of 110 employees. This was a truly honorable achievement for me & I couldn't wait to see what the following yrs had to come. Little did we see that the market was in the process of crashing? March-Nov I saw countless friends being let go until my turn came in Nov when the co clsd

I've been reading layoff stories, Maybe it's to motivate myself to be thankful I have a job and not bitch about the lousy pay I'm making. Anyway, the story above caught my eye. Why they hell is this person abbreviating every other word? It's not like he's writing a post on twitter. rcvd? Yr? clsd? There no good reason why these words needed to be shortened.

How is a link to a blog post better than a link to the actual tool?

The blog provides an explanation as well as a link to the tool. It's user friendly, so to speak.

He also. Speaks in short sentences. They don't make sense. And it doesn't flow. But he worked. For a mortgage company. They had short attention spans. Only cared as long as the sale was in progress.

sux.

ha.

We talk funny here, with pseudo southern accents. You can tell someone from southern Utah 'cause we don't go directly anywhere. We go "over to" or "up to." For example, I'm going uptown later, then I'm going over to the Walmarts.

It's funny, especially when I catch myself doing the same.
