    I’m “lazy” in that same way and I always bring it up when I’m asked what my strengths are in interviews. I don’t like doing unnecessary work. I will be the one automating tasks and finding more efficient ways to do things while other people are wasting their time doing it the long way, purely because I want to waste less time on it.









  • There’s an old joke that uses this premise.

    President Bush was briefed on the war this morning. He was told that 3 Brazilian solders were killed in Iraq.

    To everyone’s amazement, all the color drained from the President’s face, then he collapsed onto his desk, head in hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.

    Finally, he composed himself and asked, “Just exactly how many is a Brazilian?”








  • It’s the concept that the mouth position to make an R is kind of the midway point between the S and the P, so if you’re speaking quickly, the S and P just blend together. To really enunciate the R, you kind of have to actively pause for a moment between the S and P, which is a bit awkward for some people. I stumbled into a series of videos about language quirks recently that happened to cover this; kind of coincidental to see it here right afterwards.
