      Some days I honestly don’t know. I work for AWS in one of their many data centers as a critical facilities technician.

        Sounds like hell on earth, specially with low sleep.

        Save money and go live in a cheap place on earth…

          Good days and bad days. I have a car, place to live, food in my fridge and cupboards and money in my bank account. Maybe one day I’ll be able to pick up and move somewhere cheaper but in the meantime, one day at a time.

            I have a theory that some people actually like some discomfort in their lives… Makes them feel like there is a challange and not just anyone could do their job.

      It’s different if you’re away from family though. Oil rig workers, navy folk, logistics etc. When it’s just you, running that kind of lifestyle is doable (speaking from experience). But good luck being a human/parent next to that commitment…
