If you’re doing things right, your client will view you as a professional. They will assume that every word has been carefully considered and selected based on your professional judgment. Your job is to carefully consider and select every word.

It's surprising how often you need geographic knowledge as a translator, even if you never translate about geography.

My Facebook question is for @nickclegg, who was a talented British voice for liberal democracy - though a sidelined deputy prime minister in a bad coalition: Can anything Zuckerberg pays you be worth the risk of being remembered as someone who justified the indefensible?

It is definitely September 2019 and I will have to get down and write things on hearings and appointments and Brexit all over again. The masked groundhog day, ladies and gentlemen. Plus ça change blablabla
I propose @MaireadMcGMEP as future Commissioner for financial services. She has great qualifications & my full trust for this post. It is now for the EU Parliament to organise the hearings. Executive Vice-President @VDombrovskis will take on the trade portfolio.
Exit. Voice. Loyalty.
