I thought about writing something using buzz words in answer and then decided not. I saw the professor a few days later and she asked me why I had skipped it. I honestly told her I had no clue and thought I had pulled through on the other questions. She agreed, telling me that I'd have gotten the book award had I written a few sentences with buzzwords in them.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527807049220749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-70843545842832771662010-03-03T09:57:30.974-05:002010-03-03T09:57:30.974-05:00Never 'loved' Article 2, but more or less ...Never 'loved' Article 2, but more or less understood it. Never understood Article 9 at all. But in law school -- I got a 'C' (which stood in that case for Cold Sweating it out all the way) -- in Sales and an 'A' in Secured Transactions.<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />A practitioner taught the Sales course -- and it was his first time through teaching. Actually I did fairly well in that course: Nearly everyone else dropped out. But in Secured Transactions, the prof was a former dean in his last semester. My father had been one his students. My grade -- and everyone else's -- was a retirement gift from the retiree.The Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723009641287783218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-33993782403799172822010-03-02T11:32:38.922-05:002010-03-02T11:32:38.922-05:00As it turns out, after some wandering through mult...As it turns out, after some wandering through multi-volume reporters, with a two volume index and pocket parts and supplements (ASBCA), the client is probably OK.<br /><br />I vaguely remember liking diagramming way back then.<br /><br />This as a special for Curmudgeon: for some reason I've always loved Art. 2 and hated Art. 9 of the UCC. Same sort of thing, but 2 made sense to me and 9 never did.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527807049220749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-2230977214374879082010-03-02T11:00:42.772-05:002010-03-02T11:00:42.772-05:00I like books.

There is still nothing better than the Mark One Eyeball for finding a relevant precedent... and I say this despite the fact that I send a King's Ransom to Thomson West every month for Westlaw.<br /><br />But even though I parse insurance contracts for a living I can not imagine diagramming sentences. I learned how, of course: Sr. Lucilla insisted we all learn back in the 5th grade. But I have mostly suppressed these memories.<br /><br />Although, right now, I am breaking out in a cold sweat.....The Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723009641287783218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-20680571887327012212010-03-01T21:32:40.725-05:002010-03-01T21:32:40.725-05:00Stuff that makes your head hurt usually pay well! ...Stuff that makes your head hurt usually pay well!

I created a big table to synthesize some new and old test protocols. The big table made it easy to see what had been changed, what was no longer required, and how many new tests must be done.fermicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912496005011895707noreply@blogger.com
