just be one great man who tells you what you need to hear.

uncool; nerdy; not fashionable

high school are all Internet millionaires now.
The hard part is the listening to it.

reprimanded

in front of the entire office.

When I got tenure I took all of my
research team down to Disney world for a week. And one of the other professors
at Virginia said, how can you do that? I said these people just busted their ass and got me the best job in the world for
life. How could I not do that?
* bust
one’s ass/butt: to work
extremely hard
ex> You don’t have to bust your
butt non-stop, but keep in mind that the project is due in a week.
One of the things that Jon Snoddy as I
said told me, is that you might have to wait a long time, sometimes years, but

Just keep waiting no matter how long it takes.
* ~ side:
a part of one’s personality
ex> If you get on my bad side,
I can make life very hard for you.

tough exterior. He has a real soft side when you get to know him.
