Horrid Airbnb experience - Part 4

In part 3, M. and me cleaned the house to his normal state. We found out that B. had been in the house on his own for the past two weeks. M. knocked on his door and found out that he was still drunk even though we left him the night and the day to sober up. What happened.

M walked out of the bedroom in shock and went downstairs in the garden. He opened the bin and said to ,e:

M: ''He was still drunk, I need to know what happened in this house.''
I: ''Was he?''. '
M: There were drinks all over the bedroom and onto the floor. 
I: Really?

We opened the bin. We put some gloves on. We emptied it.
We started to categorise what we found
We found

  • beers can - Stella Artois was the favourite brand.
  • bottle of JD
  • Wine bottle - red, white, pink
  • Plates
  • Cutlery
  • Chicken Wings
  • Pizza
  • Chips
We filled 7 recycling bags with bottles and cans.
The content of those containers had filtered through his body.

I: '' But What happened for him to go from gentle to out of control?''

We were soon to find out.

When you do not pursue a career in academia after your Ph.D and do a job unrelated to your field of study

It is absolutely OK.  Many people do not pursue a career in academia after their Ph.D and even do a job unrelated to their field of study. I am amongst those people I completed my doctorate in the field of Design for Sustainable Behaviour and I looked at the factors influencing people to repair small electrical items. I took the opportunity during my doctorate to organise repair events, and a festival to engage people with this concept of repair. Then, in my discussion, there were some elements about the impacts of poor design decisions on women's wellbeing and sense of worth. I thought that if I had to focused on violence towards women, I would like to focus on the worst. When I submitted my thesis, I looked for a position in gender-based violence field. I wanted it to be part-time so I could pursue my other passions such as writing, arts, travelling, gardening, appreciating the idle time while looking after my family. I also wanted to work closed from home. Quetzal, a charity bas...
