I've been recruiting lately, and had some graduate applications.

Then, last week, running a new route, I realised I was running past the end of the road where my final-year landlord lived. He always liked rent paid in cash, and I used to particularly like going round to pay, 'cos the house was always a riot of neighbourhood kids, and really welcoming and homely. And then it hit me that those kids I remembered were now likely to be actually older than someone I'd interviewed for a job that week. And then I felt Very Sad Indeed.
