My post-lockdown commute back to work

[lom]

I boiled some eggs tonight for this week's lunches... it's all pretty shite really.

No wonder you're losing weight

The whole set up is pretty shite to be honest... normally for this type of work you'd be put up in a hotel with breakfast provided and a lunch at work. That would leave the per diem for a couple of beers in the evening. But... I'm compromising a lot due to Covid...

Could it be that the company you're working for is also affected by covid and have to cut down on their expenses?
I don't get why you are working 11-12 hours a day when you instead could make the job last a bit longer and not have to stay at a Stockholm hotel for a couple of weeks waiting for travel clearance to Thailand.
