An Actor Prepares - Part 1
It's April, 2020. And the working world has gone to shit. People who normally commute are working from make shift home offices, trying as best they can to keep some kind of income coming in. People are still going out to work (if they are classed as essential or keyworkers) because they can't work from home and need to keep the rest of us alive. Those who already work from home are still going strong, but now have new obstacles to content with - kids, partners, (insert the new things that annoy you here, I'm not one of you, I have no idea!)

Five Phases of the Project Management Lifecycle
Project management is the key to clinging to your budget and targeted date while putting the most essential tasks at the forefront of the company. Despite the type of project the team is planning, each project undergoes the same set of stages. Though each project requires its own collection of distinctive tasks and processes, they all follow a similar structure. There is always a start, a core, and an ending. This is known as the project lifecycle.

The Moment I Realized I Had Become My Work
I love what I do. Writing has always been my great love and the idea of spending the rest of my life creating content like this fills me with so much excitement at all the projects I have yet to come. Finding a way to turn something you love into something you can do for a living isn't a luxury everyone has. So I'm incredibly grateful I've found a way to mold the two.

Working Full-Time for the First Time
Everybody lives in the hope of winning the lottery, marrying somone rich or just stumbling across a large amount of cash in the middle of the street. Unfortunately, that is nothing more than just a dream and for the vast majority of us working full-time is something that we are going to be doing for the foreseeable future. I want to share with you my experience of stepping into my first full-time job at the age of 21 and my personal transition from university to the world of 9-5.

Untaught Lessons in Science Research.
If you were to ask anyone who knows me, they’d tell you that I was always going to be a scientist. There was never any doubt in my mind that it was the only career path for me. A career in science research is a career that works in the unknown, a career that literally keeps you on your feet, and a career that occupies and challenges the mind. ‘Perfect!’ I would think, as I worked my through my Medicinal Chemistry degree and multiple research internships. Now full disclaimer here, I love my work and I wouldn’t change a thing if I had the chance to, but I’ve certainly encountered some things that they don’t teach you at university.

Chef Poophead
‘If you’ve ever met a psycho, you’ll know what I mean’. Poophead was our head chef at Cafe Fig Tree, and God knows why. Poophead had been there for years, and like dead wood everywhere, he believed he was a law unto himself. He never listened to anyone, especially not the people paying his wages. Some people can get away with being dickheads, but the rule is the goods/skills etc you bring to the table has to outweigh the bad/dickheadishness. That’s why Gordon Ramsey is allowed to be a foul-mouthed prick, what he brings to the table outweighs the smattering of C*%#’s that flow from his mouth like water from a fountain cherubs wang. Unfortunately, like X-factor rejects have proven time and time again, the most talentless schlubs are always the most convinced of their uniqueness and giftedness. Poophead was the type of guy who thought being a prick enhanced his aura of specialness, but he lacked any redeeming features to back-up his narcissism and arrogance. Have you ever met a weed smoker who thinks their stoned ramblings make them profound? Poophead was a meth smoker, which is like a weed smoker on well, meth. Poophead was unapproachable and unpredictable. As the managers, Christy and I were both entitled to, and expected to make changes to the menu. We were expected to adjust the menu in response to the changing wants and needs of our customers, and to ensure customer satisfaction by returning any meals they were unhappy with to the kitchen and arranging replacement meals. We were also according to our contracts, entitled to a lunch off the menu during our break. Poophead, did not like to do any unnecessary work, and in his eyes any work was unnecessary, but particularly any work that did not feed his idea of what he was worthy of. Preparing meals for the café managers was one of these tasks he felt was below him. In the tradition of all great passive aggressive he would expend great effort doing the shittiest job possible, far more effort than it would take to just do the fucking job. We suspected he was spitting in our meals, so Christy and I decided to started putting our meals through as customer orders and wiped them from the system later. Once Poophead got wind of the game we were playing, his rage at being denied the chance to spit on our food couldn’t be contained. He reported us to Don, which only made him look more pathetic than he already looked. When your manager has to design elaborate charades just to get you to do your damn job, you rarely receive the sympathy you are expecting to sooth your sense of betrayal. Poophead didn’t scare me, I have met plenty of bullies in my time and as far as bullies go, he was pretty impotent. Spitting is pretty gross, but quite frankly your average pre-schooler eventually moves on from spitting to the really savage stuff like loudly pointing out women’s moustaches so in the scheme of things his methods were pretty stunted. Yes, the kitchen is the Chef’s domain, but if no-one wants the food you cook, you are lording over an imaginary kingdom. Unfortunately, like even the most remedial of pre-schoolers Poophead slowly learned how to be more of a dickhead. Peoples tyres were being slashed and deflated in the parking lot. More specifically Christy and I were finding our cars with flat tyres far too often to be an unlucky coincidence.

Cafe Fig Tree
Cafe Fig Tree was located in the Hills District area, known for its super conservative suburbs and money. It was a lovely atmosphere, downstairs it opened up into a huge seating area that had willow trees that hung over the water. The koi fish in the pond were old and large and worth a fortune. Many times, I thought about stealing those fish and selling them on the black market, but I lack the criminal contacts and can do. Quite frankly I think I would stagnate at low level street hooker if I tried to make it in the criminal world and my ego would never allow me to be a poorly paid prostitute, so there we have it, the reason I am the respectable citizen you see before you is because I’m a combination of lazy, un-connected and have an elevated sense of my own dignity. That and my driving pretty much guaranteed the fish would be dead from terror before I left the car park.

Needles And Nightmare
It was a low-rise shit hole. At least, that’s how we described it. In reality, it was someone’s home. A home I was now standing within. My eyes took in the out of date décor and sparse furniture that casually lay about this place. Decades of old cigarette smoke clung to the walls like a cancerous veneer. Overturned beer cases had been repurposed as makeshift end-tables and dining tops. The place was carpeted throughout—if you can call what we were standing on “carpet.” It was more akin to a matted layer of congealed fibers belonging to a mortally wounded living space. No buoyance left whatsoever.
