Don't dream it, be it!

Do or do not; there is no try.

Heh.

First, Pants Man Loses Case. Next, His Job.

By the middle of next week, Roy Pearson, the D.C. administrative law judge who sued his neighborhood dry cleaners for $54 million and lost, will receive a letter that starts the process of putting him out of a job.

City sources tell me that a marathon meeting of the commission that reviews the performance of administrative law judges (ALJs) ended last night with unanimous agreement to meet again next Monday to revise and finalize the wording of a letter that will state the panel's doubts about granting Pearson the 10-year reappointment that he has been seeking throughout the last months of his battle against Custom Cleaners and its owners, the Chung family.

...

Within the commission, the discussion about Pearson's future has focused on when and whether it is right to measure a judge's performance by his behavior outside the courtroom. The panel looked specifically at whether Pearson's extraordinary zeal in pursuing the case against the Chungs was so frivolous and embarrassing to the judicial system that it should be taken as evidence of his lack of judicial temperment. "A judge has a right to bring a lawsuit like any other citizen," said a source close to the commission, "but he doesn't have a First Amendment right to bring a frivolous lawsuit."

How in the hell do you say "I learn shit really fast on the fly and adapt to changing paradigms" while sounding professional and not pompous?

Now that I'm back on the computer and not the cellphone--

but it is mentioned that the reaction of acidic vinegar and buttermilk tends to turn the cocoa a reddish brown color. Furthermore, before more alkaline "Dutch Processed" cocoa was widely available, the red color would have been more pronounced. This natural tinting may have been the source for the name "Red Velvet" as well as "Devil's Food" and a long list of similar names for chocolate cakes. The use of red dye to make "Red Velvet" cake was probably started after the introduction of the darker cocoa in order to reproduce the earlier color.

I AM SO FOR that judge losing his job. RIDICULOUS waste of everyone's time and money. MILLIONS of dollars he sues, for his pants? Grr. (They at one point before he sued were offering him something like $9K for the pants. Which is STILL more than they should've, but...damn)

When I interviewed for my current job, I said pretty much exactly that.

'I'm a quick study' seems to work for me. (well, conversationally)

"I am adaptable and quick to learn new processes and applications." Or whatever it is you're quick to learn.
