Trying to do something interesting with luminescent compounds, most usually with metals in them. Often failing. "Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

Of course you and I donโt control the means of that production but each additional layer of bureaucracy/#bullshit jobs means we (+ our existing colleagues) become precarious workers and hence zero hour contracts appear
