And that's another thing people forget. The importance of regular, decent,
clean, hygienic, hot food! Not sure whether it plays a part in burnout, but
it does affect your stress-levels. As does the lack of exercise (not that
i've got any in the last 13 years!)
I got my fair share of hot food (beef noodle soup, laksa etc are something
you can develop a lifelong addiction to)
I also got to be a pretty fair cook of stuff like "vegetable rice" (canned
vegetables stir fried with olive oil, canned chopped onions and garlic,
every single spice powder I can get my hands on - chinese, indian or both,
then mixed into rice straight from an electric pressure cooker, stirred
around). Ready in less than 5 minutes. Filling, reasonably tasty.
Not that you'd want to cook at home after arriving bone tired after a long
shift .. especially not when it meant washing up. Didnt get a maid either -
expensive, and that'd have involved me being at home at fixed times. So, I
cleaned it once in a while, lived in a pigsty (no, pigs would probably run
out of there screaming). That put me off hk far more .. my salary didnt
exactly run to a serviced apartment back then.
