In a few minutes I'm presenting a paper in a room full of arrogant poli sci scholars. As a token of my despise for their kind, I got utterly wasted last night. Now I have a hangover and I'm on my way to the paper presentation. I feel bad, really bad but, surprisingly, I cannot stop laughing at myself for this lousy technique 🙂
I'm not saying I am better debating while suffering a hangover, I just simply become careless and any so-called witty, arrogant scholarly comment they may have on my paper, I will just laugh and let go with no rage or offense. They can crucify me know and I will keep giggling.
Please feel free to share what you are good at while having a hangover 😛

Too bad we cannot be present. I always like a good oppurtunity to throw tomatoes and eggs from the direction of the unpleased audience to stage.
I'm here at the classroom right now. They are nailing the speaker right before my presentation, hehehe... I'm tempted to join the crucifixion but I guess I will 'buy' some sympathy from this guy by not doing so 😛
Well, good luck.
If you don't know an answer to any question that pops up from the audience, just say you don't know. If you feel the need to answer anyway, just say the answer you are givinig is what you expect to be the answer, without actually knowing for sure and stating it like that. This is safer than bringing your answer as a fact. There is always someone present who knows better and might knock you over the head with it ...!

Actually I just finished. Piece of cake. I seem to be charming during hangovers because the only person doing questions was an old Russian female professor who giggled all the time when I did, and only laudatory questions... 😵
phew... I learnt a lesson today: Beer is good for success in life! The more you drink the better things happen to you 😏
