@JeremyCherfas Sometimes one gets lucky and gets to blind the classics that basically set the definition of the region’s style.
Ecstatic. Nailed a blind tasting: 2004 Nicolas Joly Savennières and I said “mid-2000 Savennières”.
And half-got a 1986 Lafite. I said 1980s. Got the Pauillac part straight away.
Sent the interns home for the rest of the week because there’s an audit these next 2 days and even I’m staying well clear of the office…in fact a good 2/3 of us won’t be in.
So I have gym scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.
Meeting a word count limit in an essay is quite simply an exercise in information density…not about cutting information so much as choosing the shortest verb forms and sentence structures.
@matigo Perhaps not in title…or money…but our current COO's last day is in 3 weeks and I believe consensus is that I'm her natural successor, if only because there's absolutely no one else…
…and soon, no one left in the company…
…which will make for a very interesting leadership role.
Interviewer: Ah, I see you were COO for 6 months at $company. Tell me about the team you led.
> Me: Amazing. Purely function-oriented, and machine-like in precision and rigour. Very likeable once you got to know them though. Tireless. Never took a sick day.
> Interviewer: You mean you managed a bunch of Haskell scripts every day?
> Me: Yep.
Wow, 2 resignations in one month — COO included. I knew it was going to be turbulent but never thought it would come to this.
“Hey, can you translate this French legal document for me? Google Translate isn’t working.”
No…
