Reshaping Hospitality
I’ve been working tirelessly in the hospitality field for my entire working life. Starting from high school, through colllege (actually went to college for it), and beyond. I have seen every struggle from almost every platform out there. Platform in this since is more the secular environment where a restaurant stands opposed to a hotel/cafe/country club/ or bar. The difference in the environment is based solely on the clientele it tries to attract. Much like any other business, ever. However there is a consistent dilemma no matter which arena your establishment caters to. It’s the workers. It’s the people making your food or catering to your needs. Call them servers, waitresses, waiters, bus boys, whatever suits you. Those are the ones I’m talking about. Then we’ll get into the back of house, the cooks, dishwashers, chefs, bakers, or whatever you think of them as.

A Silent War
A Silent War: One Woman's Experience In The Security Sector Written By: Lady Venomous - December 27, 2020 I work in the Security Industry as an Account Manager for a company in Silicon Valley with a Master's Degree in Communication, and I am a woman. I figured out a way to remain healthy and resilient in this field despite the infestation of toxic masculinity, sexual harassment, stereotyping, and discrimination against women. Even at the self-proclaimed progressive corporations, I've experienced men of all ages doubting my competency and intelligence because I am a woman. At this point in my life, I've cultivated self-discipline, restraint, temperance, and a beast-mode mentality of out-performing and out-earning everyone in my field. I figured out how to make it work, but that does not mean the challenges end here. The challenges get worse periodically, depending on the new hire culture. Every woman entering this field should brace herself for a world built to destroy her and come armed.

Rewind 2020: A year full of undesired surprises
2020 has been a year like no other. Over 100 million people in India lost their jobs by the end of March when a lockdown was imposed to combat COVID-19. Since then, many who managed to hold on to their jobs were forced to take pay cuts. CNBC-TV18’s Ritu Singh looks back at the year that was for India's job market and finds that employment rate has been falling since 2017.

Voice Acting Storytime: What Recording In An Airbnb Closet Taught Me
Since this is my first proper post, I thought I’d share another first: my first recording. I admit it was nothing too exciting, but I think it's an important memory. I mean how else am I supposed to know if I’ve gotten better? The whole point of this blog is to track my growth, and help others learn from my experiences after all, so why not start at the beginning?

Happy Anniversary, Vocal (You Fickle Mistress)!
Three years ago, when I was still a bored young woman unwilling to get rid of Instagram, I saw an ad to become a paid freelance writer on a website called Vocal. Vocal was a place to write about whatever you could possibly want; get inspired, get busy, get some validation from other writers or casual readers on the internet. With a couple of weeks until the rise of 2018, I had been listlessly searching for something to change my luck around. Since my graduation in 2017 and subsequent smack in the face by the reality of millions of others just as desperate to find a good gig in life, I had been locked deep in a depressed haze. I couldn't seem to get myself out of the dense muck of incompetence and pessimistic anxiety to the point where I couldn’t ever see being happy with myself and what I was doing. Who I was becoming.

How to Receive A Raise On Your Paycheck!
BEFORE TRAVORIUM: I've worked a J.O.B(Just Over Broke) since I was 14 years old. My first job was painting a church for a summer work job. I was always taught to get good grades, go to college, get a good job, and I would be successful. I've done fast food, to watching children at a daycare in order to make extra money. After high school, I joined the Air Force, and thought that I'd be travelling around the world, making all this money...little did I know, I was actually setting myself up for failure. I ended up getting married, having children, and working two jobs just to be able to take care of the two children that I had; and even that wasn't enough! It seemed like the more money we made, the less money we had after all the bills were taken care of...and that put a financial strain on my marriage, on top of other things, so it ended quicker than it began.

The First Post
Dear Reader, Hello! Hi. How are you today? I do not know how this works, again by the title I think you can guess this is me trying to figure it out. Umm. This is Awkward because I do not know how to keep a reader engaged, I know how to entertain because I do theater, (did theater? COVID hit so it is confusing). My aunt directed me to this site because I am a writer, and my biggest dream is to be a teacher one day. I read through a few blogs on this site and they all seem boring to me. (Again, I still have yet to figure anything out). No offense to the creators! They probably took a long time to pour all their hard work into their articles, but I have the attention span of a goldfish so I need something that will keep me engaged when reading about the stock market crash of 99’.

The Attitude That Stops People From Taking What They Deserve
"If you want to succeed you need to stand out from the crowd". This is the attitude that is so often replicated in our culture on what it means to be truly successful that became the motto that is shared by all the role models and stars in the world. It is so ingrained in us that many times we identify "followers" as "losers" and will label them with the most despicable words for not bringing forth their own creativity.

How To Deal With Negitive Review On Fiverr
I thought this would pair well with the upcoming Advice post this month, and so, this will be the story of my first unhappy customer (and how they caused me to stop voice acting for a while). While I regret the situation, I think there was a lot to learn from it. With that said, let’s get into the story.
