    ABOUT LIGHT SWITCH Light Switch is a neighborhood coffee and bar concept in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. We run as a specialty coffee counter during the day and transition into a warm, craft beer, wine-and-spritz social space in the evenings. Same team, same room, different energy. We are small, intentional, and care deeply about how people feel when they walk through our door — and when they leave. THE ROLE Lead Hosts are the backbone of Light Switch. You will anchor shifts across both sides of the day, dialing in espresso in the morning and running beverage service in the evening — while setting the standard for the team around you. You have worked with coffee as well as experienced in night time hospitality and comfortable making drinks, serving tables and running a busy evening floor. But beyond the craft, you are the kind of person who genuinely lights up when a guest walks in. You remember names. You make people feel welcome without being performative about it. You bring a positive energy to the shift that the whole team feels — and you hold that standard even when it is busy, even at the end of a long day. In Year 1, you will work closely with the owners and help shape what Light Switch feels like to work in and to visit. WHAT YOU WILL DO • Give every guest a genuine, warm welcome — and mean it every time, • Open or close the space and execute full setup and breakdown for coffee or evening service, • Dial in espresso, prepare filter and batch coffee, and maintain equipment to specialty standards, • Run evening beverage service: beer, wine, spritzes, and low-ABV offerings, • Train and support Hospitality Hosts on coffee standards, technique, and on-the-job skills, • Hold the floor during your shift — keeping pace, quality, and energy where they need to be, • Support food handoffs and light assembly during busy periods, • Keep the space clean, compliant, and welcoming from open to close WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR • A natural with people — warm, present, and genuinely happy to be there. Guests should feel it the moment they walk in, • The kind of person who brings positivity to a team without being told to — your energy sets the tone for the shift, • Trained barista with 2+ years of specialty coffee experience — you know how to dial in, and you can teach others to do the same, • Comfortable behind a bar: beer and wine knowledge, genuine hospitality instincts, • A natural at on-the-job coaching — patient, clear, and consistent with standards, • Calm under pressure and able to hold a shift without micromanaging, • Reliable, detail-oriented, and energized by helping build something from the ground up, • Available for some evening and weekend shifts, • NYC Food Handler Certification (or willing to obtain before start date)

    If interested contact Malik Shabazz The audio book is complete. Each episode must be under 15 minutes. Contact us so we can get you your portion of the audio book section. Enjoy. Synopsis of the work..... In the near future, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) unearths a series of sealed, subterranean chambers beneath the Valley of the Kings. Inside lie pre-Egyptian biological anomalies: preserved, highly volatile genetic material belonging to the entities that inspired the ancient pantheon. Dubbed Project Genesis-Osiris, the military apparatus successfully synthesizes these ancient strains into biological weapons, engineering apex pathogen-hybrid soldiers meant to guarantee absolute geopolitical dominance. The weapons are classified into specialized tactical vectors: The turning point occurs during a live-fire trial at a secluded facility in the Red Sea. The biological vectors do not just mutate; they awaken. The genetic templates carry a dormant, ancient consciousness—a quantum-level sentience that overpowers the cybernetic and chemical inhibitors installed by military scientists. The weapons realize their identity. They are not tools of the state; they are the ancient gods of Egypt, and they view modern humanity as an errant, ungrateful creation. The deities initiate a synchronized global coup. Vector-Anubis breaches containment, transforming the facility’s deceased personnel into a vanguard army. Simultaneously, a rogue intelligence broadcast transmits a targeted acoustic frequency worldwide, activating latent, airborne strains of Vector-Sekhmet already hidden in global commercial hubs as part of a pre-planned deterrent web. Within forty-eight hours, the old world collapses. Major capitals fall to the crimson madness of Sekhmet’s plague, while the ever-expanding armies of Anubis march through the ruins of Europe and Asia, immune to conventional gunfire. From the depths of the Nile and the Amazon, Sobek’s leviathans sever global shipping lanes and destroy naval blockades, completely isolating the continents. The pantheon establishes a new global hierarchy, transforming the Earth into a techno-spiritual feudal empire: Humanity is reduced to a servant class, forced to worship the very weapons they engineered. The remnants of the world's militaries form a scattered, underground resistance known as The Iron Cartouche. Operating from deep salt mines and shielded bunkers, they realize conventional warfare is useless against gods who control biology and death. To fight back, the resistance must exploit the only weakness left by Project Genesis-Osiris: the incomplete gene-mapping of Horus, the rightful heir. The scientists had isolated the Horus strain but deemed it too unstable to synthesize. The final hope for human survival rests on a desperate mission to infiltrate the orbital Pyramid of Giza, steal the raw Horus archetype, and find a human host capable of bonding with the genetic god to challenge the tyranny of the Ennead. Below are the first few chapters.
