Because my commute is lengthy and grueling. Whatever time I had to cook for myself is consumed by the commute.
My job pays me well enough to bite the bullet and endure the senseless commute. But not well enough to move closer to the office and trade my nice suburban apartment for a (older, rattier, with less amenities) shoebox half the size for more the cost.
- doublerabbit 3y agoSo your telling me you don't have five minutes of your life to make food for you to take to work? One baguette, two bagels, three rolls. Throw whatever you wish in there and you'll be done in less than ten minutes. Unless you were cooking roast turkeys for lunch. What about the time it took you to read HN, or even type that message? No judgement but there is always time in the day to make food. [I am an HN Edit Bot and make snide comments when downvoted: 1 person(s) dislikes the concept of making their own food]
- decafninja 3y agoOf course I have five minutes, or even thirty minutes, or more. It's not literally just the time. After a tired long day at work, followed by a soul draining commute on public transportation, I'm simply too - yes, lazy - and tired to do anything productive, even for just a few minutes even though I know objectively it's not that much effort. I'm sure many people know this feeling.
