3-4 hours a day, working minimum 12 hour shifts, usually 13-14, 4 days a week, 3 days when I can.
How are you still alive? Are you able to say what you do for work?
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.
That sounds like a hell of a life man, all the best to you
