hi, ok, there's a lot going on, here. was it specifically a distinguished scholar? i ask because it sounds close to a bit of linguistic DNA i am familiar with -- like, it's family. my father would sometimes joking say, "you're a gentleman and a scholar!" during particular moments. a buddy of mine of a few years, we got to talking, and it turns out his father also used the "you're a gentleman and scholar" line. we got into a discussion about how phrases get passed on from father to son so if you're not from the US, not a US english-ist, the "gentleman and a scholar" thing might come across as sarcastic. but, trust me, it's not, it's actually an expression of fondness |

I mean you’re pretty distinguished. You ever spoken about a book? Then you’re a scholar. Distinguished scholar DADONCK has a nice ring to it |

but seriously if u call someone a distinguished scholar u mean they are kind of gay really like u are probably wearing a garter belt underneath |

I once wrote a 50-page market analysis which was based on circa 20 hours of google searches. Then the guy who I wrote it for was invited to speak about that topic at a conference in Asia and he asked me if I would go for him. Anyway, at the conference I was introduced as an expert on the topic. Even though I don't care about the subject and only did superficial research and just am no expert. Then guys from General Motors in the audience asked me weird questions I had no clue about. It was hell. |

sounds stressful. cvs are weird, like facebook profiles like certificates that are supposed to proof professionality and success some guy once told me that he will put something i made for him in the louvre for an exhibition, so well i exhibited in the louvre. i also helped with a paper and i presented it at a conference that was held at the MIT in boston, so well i presented something at MIT i think as long as you find a truthful, proper role you should take it, but its never easy. i try to be honest, but i also know that its a fucking theater play. if you're not in it, you're out. |
