One thing I’m enjoying about my line of work is meeting people who are moderately to pretty successful in our field and not knowing who the fuck they are. I’m in an echo chamber of niche creators where I have never heard of you until I Google you and it turns out the search function fills the tab automatically and you have an entry in Wikipedia. Oh sorry you have awards and publications? Well I run a microfamous niche blog on tumbler dot com enjoyed by over a thousand people worldwide. So. I think this networking opportunity is quite beneficial for the both of us. You’re welcome.

#the first day of one of my lectures the guy sitting next to me whispered ‘i can’t believe we’re going to be taught by X’#and i just stared at him quizzically like ??? ok??? so???#and he was like ‘you don’t know him?!?!’ and i was like ‘should i???’#gaining a reputation as the mysterious figure that isn’t really all that interesting to talk to but also strangely appealing in my complete #and utter disinterest in people’s fame and trajectory. if you’re good at you job good for you. no i don’t care about ur instagram followers #like atp people get so mesmerised when you’re unmoved by ‘celebrity culture’ i don’t like to call them celebrities because it’s not that big #but I guess somewhat renowned people #yesterday someone told me ‘well I actually do have a bit of a reputation’#and my response was ‘well i run an AMATEUR company and we’re in the same project at the same level. so.’#like you’re working with someone who directs college students and highschoolers who want community service credit for a job. so there’s that #personal
