HR

I'm serving on the "hiring team" at work right now. Basically, this involves scanning piles of resumes and making remarks on them. I've decided this is the ultimate in self-esteem boosting. There are some very large idiots out there. For instance. Joe Public, your experience as "lead cashier" at Wal-Mart does not qualify you for managing multi-million dollar budgets.

Also, Cindy Citizen, your awful and blatant misspellings have caused me to invent new snide and insightful comments to write in the margins of your cover page. FYI, Indianapolis is not spelled Indianpolis and it is not correct to use the phrase "I'm being so interested in applying."

However, the best part of this whole process is the assumption that at the end of the process we will have new, competent staff to take some of the work off my back. That, dear reader, is worth reading even Jane Doe's "writing sample" taken from her years on the high school year book staff.
