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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
'I'm a quick study' seems to work for me. (well, conversationally)

Large group of people standing around, clicking pens, talking loudly, and tapping on the side of my cube.
Oh god, today's never going to end.

I find it's really worthwhile to keep a pencil sharpener or a paper shredder or something similarly loud in the cubicle, and find a reason to run it when there's a office crowd one wishes to move along.
