From a friend's recommendation letter...

New post on this subject: How to write a letter of recommendation

---

I was helping a friend write a recommendation letter and came across these gems:

- "Self Goal Oriented"

- "Most plausible vehicle for my goals"

- "Practice my compassion"

Yep, lessons in what to avoid when talking to literate people.

Also, I'm still alive out here and plan to have another post up with real content soon.

Business metrics

A hypothesis for you: it seems that the more time I have to spend killing time via surfing the 'net at work, the shorter the time I can expect to remain employed there.

Maybe someone should build a small aggregate logging system to determine company health this way...
