Started as a barback and worked long shifts overnight while still attending music college during the day. Made £5.05 per hour before taxes. Had to use my arm to sweep under the bars — the detritus mostly consisting of broken glass, lime wedges, and general dirt. The wounds on your arms would only be superficial, but the bits of vodka and citric acid made it sting. Had to run up and down stairs carrying cases of beer and armchairs. Slept very little. Consumed a load of sugar and caffeine to try to stay alert. Switched to software. Wasn't very good at it. Still not very good at it, but I'm proud to have built a really great company full of lovely and talented people around the world. We're making some real waves now too[0].
