The Man & The Method
In this current age of the performing arts industry, there is one man who is most fit to be described as the founder and patriarch of modern American acting. A man by the name of Lee Strasberg. Between 1931 and 1982, Lee Strasberg dedicated his life to teaching several generations of film and stage actors the ideas behind a new acting style, that is now defined as “Method Acting”.

Stupidity that rules the World
The defining moment of stupidity at KRONOS was probably when I got in trouble for “touching people” at our Mona Vale rooms. By ‘touching people’ I mean either greeting them in the morning with a mutual kiss on the cheek, a causal hug (where the hands stayed in all the appropriate places,) or even horror of all horrors, touching people on the shoulder. Scandalous stuff! HR told me that placing my hand on a co-worker’s shoulder was unacceptable. Mick had been sexually harassing and groping young female trainees without censure, but when I, a gay man, touched a woman on their shoulder, it was sexual harassment. Brief, non-sexual contact with a gay man was apparently frightful, but lingering arse grabs by a middle-aged creep in a position of power was A-OK. Hypocrisy is apparently a synonym for KRONOS.

David Brent
Some people can just be summed up by a meme. David Brent was one of them. Have you seen that meme of the Shitzu terrier with the geometric hair cut? The one with the long fringe, streaky colours/shit highlights, and shaved at the back? It’s a Blacktown bogan haircut. David Brent had the exact same haircut as the dog in the meme.

Kronos Pathology -
Sometimes someone power hungry makes a new rule at your workplace. It's unnecessary. Its counterproductive. It’s an irritant. It removes some of the pleasure and meaning from your work, but you tell yourself it's all right, it's not worth complaining about. Then it happens again. But by failing to react the first time, you have trained yourself to accept such things, and shown the power-hungry types that enjoy their little displays of power, that their mind games are ok. The second time it happens, you're a little less courageous. Your opponent, thus far unopposed, is a little bit stronger. The institution, a little more corrupt. The process of bureaucratic stagnation and oppression is underway, and you've unwittingly contributed, by pretending that is was OK. Why not complain? Why not take a stand? If you do, other people, equally afraid to speak up, may come to your defence. Dr Phil, that wise old sage of day time tv says ‘You teach people how to treat you, by what you accept’. Perhaps a little victim blamish in today’s current political climate, but by God the man speaks some harsh truths. Sure, people will push your boundaries, and they will lash out when you draw your line in the sand, but you teach people how to treat you by what behaviour you accept from them. If your friends are always late, it’s because you wait for them. If you said fuck it, and left without them, they would soon learn. If your partner repeatedly cheats on you, it’s because they know you will take them back. Stop that shit right now. You are more often than not 50% responsible for how people repeatedly treat you. If your workplace treats you like shit, it’s time to find a job somewhere else, where your soul is in less danger.

Cloud computing is all about storing, transferring and using data and software projects over the web. It eradicates the need for storing data on a physical drive. The word ‘cloud’ could be understood as a metaphor for internet. It is a nonphysical location, where files are stored. Therefore, it is creating a lot of buzz in the industry. If a company adopts a cloud, then they won’t have to worry about storing the data and using it on a physical drive, rather, they can store and use it via a remote location on the net.

Unpaid Interships: What's fair?
In the modern university landscape, internships are undoubtedly the most common way into your given industry. I speak from the experience of a Creative Industries background, which is where I completed my placements as a second-year university student. The internships described in this piece are extracurricular, rather than a nursing placement or Work Integrated Learning unit, which counts as a credit towards your degree. As more and more young people begin gaining higher education qualifications, a degree or double degree is not the only barrier to entry. Entry-level jobs are asking for at least a year of experience in a similar role these days; there seems to be no way more accessible for tertiary students to fill the criteria of the job market without an internship.
