We recognize many of you probably had eggnog on your brain this week and scanning your social accounts for great content wasn’t a main priority.

An A to Z Guide to 2012’s Worst Words
From selfies to epic, jeah and YOLO this list has something to accommodate anyone’s thoughts of disdain.

Let’s all make a pact to not utter any of these words in 2013. Who’s with me?
‘Worst job posting’ ever draws flood of applicants
PR Daily
This posting for an internship was deemed the “worst job posting ever.” If you’ve got family obligations, forget about it. Want vacation time? Don’t even think of sending your materials. While many of the items listed in this posting would rule out the majority of applicants with “a life,” the organization got a surprising flood of responses. Why? You won’t believe the answer.
Mister Rogers and Newtown: Quote and image goes viral
The Washington Post, Style Blog
It’s been just over a week since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Even though time has passed many are still struggling to explain the unexplainable event that took place Dec. 14. One vision of hope that many used to cope is this image of Mister Rogers along with a quote from the children’s television host. The picture was taken by Jim Judkis, a Pittsburgh-area photographer who, we’re proud to say, we have had the pleasure to work with over the last several years.
