| Currently the situation is fluid. (Complete and utter chaos.)
We're keeping our options open. (We haven't got the faintest idea
what to do.)

| It's a living document (no, we haven't updated the spec yet,
but any day now......)
and one of my favorites:
"We are currently reassessing our hiring posture and when we have
fully ascertained our needs in that area we will contact you
immediately."
(a stall letter that says "well, we haven't read all the resumes
yet, but we don't want to p*ss you off too much so here's a letter
full of random impressive statements that look like we care which
has been sent at great expense to the company to placate you but
really we were looking at this guy in accounting and he seems perfect
for the job, so maybe we'll get back to you sometime in the next
few weeks to tell you the position was filled by this guy, okay?)

| " ... and our staff will be only too pleased to help"
(Actually, they much prefer chatting amoungst themselves to thinking
about the customer)
I'm sure I've see that one somewhere with the "only" omitted, making
the true meaning even clearer.
