"The practice of hinting by single letters those expletives ... strikes me as a proceeding which, however well meant, is weak and futile. I cannot tell what good it does -- what feeling it spares -- what horror it conceals."
I wouldn't have been surprised to see the preceeding quote in a recent blog or op-ed. However, it is from the editor's (Charlott Bronte's) preface to Wuthering Heights (1850 edition) by Emily Bronte.

My contract may be up next week, or the end of next month. I wish they would hurry up and tell me.
In mixed news I've had 3 recruiters tell me about the same position in the past week. None of them actually had enough info for me to tell if I would be interested.
