Introduction

Hello my audience. I’m pulling an all nighter again. I woke up on 7:30 this Saturday (yesterday as of writing this post.)

“One of our team members will reach out to you.” Is what I’m thinking.

I’m currently making music playlists and slowly releasing all of my wordpress.com drafts.

For the record, It’s currently 3:41 AM

My philosophy for sleep is that the human body doesn’t function based on sleep consistency but instead functions more like a cellular battery.

This Tuesday after work i slept for about 12.5 hours; 5:30PM till 6AM.

Before I continue…

I would like to share the playlist I have been working on since 12 PM/00:00.

If I am listening to a playlist that I made before, I aim not to add songs to that playlist. Instead I listen to the words or the instrumental and feel inspired by it and as a result I search for a song which reminds me of that song.

Referring back to

“One of our team members will reach out to you.”

I need to create company merchandise which my employees are going to wear so that they get recognized in public for things such as item deliveries from Facebook marketplace.

This is one of currently to name, one reason for which I perceive myself as an entrepreneur;

There are tasks which I am capable of doing, which need to be doing, however there are more important tasks to be tackled for success to be attained.

Therefore, It is essential for me to hire employees to do perceivably essential tasks which I, myself am capable of confidently doing, yet are a waste of my potential.

This is not to say that my employees are in any way below me in terms of potential and capability.

I can say this with confidence after reading and somewhat studying “The Concise Mastery” by Robert Greene

Reffering back to the “No Making Playlists While Listening to Playlists Rule.”

I added this song:

Music inspires me beyond measure and it is difficult for me to finish tasks without getting distracted which Is why I would like to announce that I am working on hiring a personal DJ.

The requirements would be to have similar taste of music as me and be respectful and obedient.

Sometimes though the songs are just so good that It’s difficult for me not to pause the playlist I am listening to at the time type it on YouTube and listen to it. However the cost of doing this is me losing my focus and the so called “Flow State” from the task I am working on at the time.

This is why I think hiring a personal DJ Intern would be fun.

Key word here is “Intern” AKA you’re not getting paid with cash or money. However you do get to work alongside me and learn from an acknowledged “Fresh Master Kitchen Porter” with 7 years of essential entry-level behind the scenes role in hospitality industry, responsible for maintaining a clean, safe, and organized Kitchen. Ones duties include cleaning, washing dishes and equipment, managing waste, and assisting with food preparation. They act as the “backbone” of the kitchen facilitating smooth operations.

The above paragraph was written with partial aid of Google Gemini AI and I mentioned this because I personally never perceived myself as the “backbone” of the kitchen which fills me with a comprehensible level of regret for getting drunk and missing work at times; damaging my development and experience gained from skived duties.

Key Responsibilities and Duties of a Kitchen Porter according to Google/Gemini AI…

For the record, I consider conversating with Gemini AI doing research as you would on Google back in the day before open source AI was available to the public. To me; Gemini AI is just an upgraded, more advanced research tool than google used to be.

For those who don’t know, Google Is a search engine. But that Is a topic for another Day.

What is a search engine?

To add, search engines must not be confused with so called “Large Language Models” (LLMs) which are text based artificial intelligence applications, software & programs.

Other Work Experience Than Kitchen Porter

I also have experience cleaning caravans for visitors on a holiday park in the UK. I did this for about two and a half years. At one point my life got so Intense that I started work at 6AM cleaning caravans, waking up at 5AM to get ready.

I would clean the so called complex with my mother and stepfather for around three hours from 6AM till 9AM, then proceed to get all the gear ready to clean between 4 to 6 caravans depending on the size.

In a week I would work 3 days, Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. 9AM to 4PM at the latest. 7 hours per day, 21 hours per week cleaning caravans, and the added 9 hours of 3 days cleaning the complex. that’s about 30 hours per week.

Then I started my job in a restaurant as a Kitchen Porter form 4:30 till anywhere from 9PM to 11PM.

Fridays and Saturdays were crazy because the restoraunt was always busy, lots of people in the restoraunt, lots of people placing home delivery orders.

At my peak of this lifestyle I would Wake up at 5AM on a Friday, start work at 6AM in the Caravan Park, finsh at 4:00, Go straight to my other Job at the restoraunt. Finish at 11pm, that’s 17 hours of work in a day. With a half an hour break while my stepfather gives me a lift from one job to the other.

That’s actually pretty crazy to think about it, because On Saturday, I would wake up and do the same thing again. I believe my record for the most hours worked in a single week was 76 hours, maybe 74, but I’m definitely gravitating towards the 76 digit.

In two days, Friday and Saturdays alone I’ve done 34 hours. At the time, between both jobs, I think my wages averaged at about £10 from both jobs, so if you think about it that’s £340 pounds in a weekend.

I had to work 6 days per week due to the fact that the restoraunt was open 6 days per week and at one point I worked 7 days per week as I was pushing my limits and got a job in another restoraunt on Mondays which were the only days off at the restoraunt, but I was working at the Holiday park, so I never really had any days off.

I just had time windows of free time which I valued with all my heart, because In realized I can’t escape work so I would spend time going to the gym, reading books, watching educational you tube videos and wasting almost not a second.

Due to my heavy work schedule I missed a lot of friendship gatherings and rarely ever went out on weekends, only the occasional Saturday and spend all my hard earned money in a single night out.

If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s that without an aim to invest or save the money, the more you spend the more you’re going to earn.

I believe this is one of many reasons which got me into investing into stocks. And later crypto. I was reading books about money and finance such as “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki and “Think Rich and Grow Rich” By napoleon hill just to name a few.

I have a Library section on my blog containing all of the boogs I’ve read so that even if I decide to sell them or somehow lose them I still have a digital collection on my blog which I can admire with pride.

I was seriously working two jobs in the United Kingdom since 21 till 23 till I moved back to my homeland in Latvia.

I dropped out of college at 18 as I finished my “Construction”/Industrial Environment Awareness Course alongside with Marine Engineering work experience on Fridays for which I got a certificate at the end of the year for.

It was a truly wonderful year and full of joy and laughter, and it’s truly upsetting it had to end so early.

However, being 17 I did the only rational thing a 17 year old who just finished a one year course could do and get some more free education while In still had the opportunity.

For supposedly the next two years, I tried to commit to Studying a Business course, A photography Course and a Food and Nutrition Course.

My Pre Work Exposure Learning Experience (Last year of College)[UK] {17-18 Years of Age}

Why I chose what I did.

Business

I chose business because even at 17 I was fully aware that working for someone else can only get me so far. This is why have pursued the entrepreneurial path before I could even legally buy alcohol at the time.

What has this got to do with alcohol? I have no Idea. But the point is, it’s been at least 9 years since I’ve been manifesting my vision, I started reading 48 Laws of Power at break times, It was the first book that I read voluntarily because I found a really interesting YouTube Series by the YouTuber illacertus.

I found the animated series of the 48 Laws of Power interesting so I decided to ask the Library Lady whether the school has that book, which they didn’t but she was kind enough to order one for me to read.

For the record; It was the concise edition and I’m glad that It was because If it had been the full book I probably wouldn’t have finished reading it as it’s massive.

Photography

So why did I pick photography?

I picked photography because at the back of my mind, before I even learned what marketing was, I realized that for a food business to attract customers through digital marketing; the ability to take high quality photos is essential for a successful marketing campaign.

I felt the necessity to up my photography game because in the years before I studied design and technology Graphics Design along side D&T Resistant Materials, Computing and ICT.

I will expand on that once I am finished explaining what inspired my vision to open my own food restoraunt such as the one I was working for.

It was somewhere between 2015 and 2016 when In my graphics design lesson we had to design a menu for a hypothetical restoraunt and since that day, at the back of my mind, I always believed that one day I am going to be able to have my own restoraunt one day.

All the skills I’ve learned throughout school, college, and my previous job at the restoraunt in which I worked anywhere between 5 to 7 years depending on whether time off and breaks count as consistent effort towards mastery.

Either way, everything I’ve learned throughout my education journey boils down to opening a restoraunt. I could have picked a lot of things, one of them could have been becoming a rapper/musician, which is still a hobby of mine, but I have no formal education on either. I could have aspired to become a doctor or even an astronaut.

However what has enticed me throughout all of these years is opening a food business, training my own employees with the skills I have acquired throughout the years, whether it’s kitchen maintenance, cleaning caravans and chalets for guests, or any other valuable skills I have to offer for my future apprentices and employees.

Even though I spent somewhere around 7 years observing Distinguished Master Chefs with Over 30 years of experience cooking I am still not good at cooking.

But when I open my restoraunt, I am going to hire skilled, trustworthy and competent individuals aiming for exceptional chemistry within the team for the tasks which must be done.

I would also like to start my own cleaning business as I know my potential. I’ve cleaned 6, two to three bedroom caravans with multiple toilets, showers, large living rooms, couches with dog hair etc. with eventually no complaints from the supervisors.

This is enough evidence for me that I am a good cleaner as praised by my manager at the restoraunt when he would ask me to clean something nicely such as a fridge or a tile wall.

I can assure you that I was surrounded by honest, individuals who were not afraid to say what they think whether it’s good or bad and I value that because all feedback is good feedback, especially honest constructive criticism compared to praise.

Food and Nutrition/(Food Science)

I picked this subject because I am still convinced to this day that cooking is an essential skill which must be practiced by everyone; male, female alike as the ability to cook is essential for one’s survival. It is a trait of radiating Independence as you know that you can always rely on yourself to have tasty food inside your stomach.

So yeah, I view cooking as an essential skill for human surval which must be practiced by everyone because you can’t always rely on other people.

I learned about cross contamination, words like e-coli and salmonella have stuck with me and working predominantly in the food industry throughout my career with a few exceptions in a warehouse or a factory of sort.

I remember working in a cheese factory once and we covered similar ideas. There is a lot that can go wrong in an uncontrolled environment, and I’ve forgotten a thing or two so I wash my hands excessively to avoid any unintentional contamination of any sort as regardless whether one spreads salmonella or e-coli it’s best to not spread bacteria or bacillus of any sort.

At this Point This is Like my CV in a Blog Post form.

I like this because this is my platform, I don’t have to be formal, and I can freely tell my story and express myself in the way that I remember everything.

Higher Up I mentioned that I am going to tell you about my “Year 10 and 11” of School, when I was about 15, 16.

The subjects which I chose to study were Computing, ICT, D&T Resistant Materials, D&T Graphics Design.

Computing

I love computers. How could I, given the opportunity not chose Computing as the subject which I am going to study throughout year 10 and 11? What did I learn? I’m not sure. I remember learning how binary works and what are hexadecimals. I remember at one point we were using “Scratch” to create computer games. We had to first, plan them on a word document and then do our best to create what we intended.

I reckon, that making video games was my favorite part of computing as I’ve always loved computer games, video games, consoles, PC, I played a lot of mobile games at break times at school and completely sabotaged most opportunities to develop my social skills.

At home I watched YouTube tutorials on Construct 2 and would make some 2D platformer games. After school I would play a fair amount of Counter Strike: Global Offensive, now known as Counter Strike 2.

I learned that I can make my own maps using the hammer world editor and created a few maps.

What I love about computers and video games is that in a virtual environment you can watch your digital craft come to life, whether it’s a CS2 Map or a Platformer you made regardless of how simple they are.

In computing we also learned some coding on python but I have not been practicing coding in my daily life or outside of school back when I studied it so I have forgotten everything.

ICT

I chose ICT because I wanted to spend even more time on a computer without even realizing what ICT really was. Information and Communication Technology.

I remember making a radio podcast with sound effects for a project using Audacity.

I’m pretty sure it was ICT where I learned to work with hyperlinks and created a website on some kind of software which I don’t remember the name of but I believe that It was ICT which really taught me the basics of how websites are put together. It didn’t involve any coding either.

D&T Resistant Materials

I chose to do Resistant Materials because I wanted to learn how to make things out of wood. There was a lot of paperwork involved designing the product before it could be made.

At the time I was really eager to just create something rather than spending lots of time writing and drawing.

D&T Graphics Design

I wanted to become an inventor and come up with something unique, from which the world could benefit and make me wealthy.

Why in the fuck am I making this Post?

The reason being is because I re-activated Facebook again and the only reason being is because I am going to be participating in the Facebook Marketplace.

Now obviously I am not going to set a “Professional/Formal” profile picture to supposedly portray myself as a young entrepreneur or a some form of aspiring salesman.

I am going to keep being me, express myself in a cartoony animated fashion inspired by my life experiences throughout the 21st century throughout the past 2 decades of video game evolution era. from 2006 to 2026.

It must have been 2007 or 2008 because I remember I was already going to school.

I have been detouring through my drafts.

I snapped out of it and remembered that I had to write this post so I am back now, It’s currently 6:49AM and I’ve been polishing, updating, and publishing some old posts which I earlier set to draft status as I felt as many of the posts I had made.

Part of the reason why it’s been taking me so long to finsh this post is because I have been creating my playlist while finishing off my drafts, getting distracted again, and although not procrastinating, I am definitely distracted from the main task which was to review, polish and publish old posts.

Now I’m sat in silence typing, hearing every single keystroke; and that’s cool. But I am going to put on the playlist I made today, finish this post and any others I have, resist the temptation to add any new songs to the playlist, and once I am finished writing a post or completing any other sort of tasks, I am going to add one song to the playlist.

It’s only almost 7:00 AM, 6:58 to be precis and I still have the whole day ahead of me. I’ve been sat on this post since 12 AM, for 7 hours and I wanted to play some League of Legends wild rift after I got out of the shower, but I’ve been blogging and making playlists instead.

There is a force guiding me, preventing me from finding pleasure in entertainment. This force is what is making me write this post instead of playing league of legends Wild Rift.

Some Final Words.

I am going to go through temu again and find 5 more items.

Okay, I think I deserve to play a game of league of legends.
