Sup TFLF. Long time no see.

After 2 months of mostly physical problems with moving FullCook forward, I think it's time to make a leap.

For those who don't know, I am currently living in a place where...
  • I can't sleep well because my roommate keeps his music/lights/phonecalls up to 23:30
  • He constantly F*cks with me because of small things: I've recently forgot my shopping bag near my door, and he says "F*ck, you are either physically impaired or mentally".
  • Because I'm being constantly tired, I can't move fast in Business - I spend maybe an hour or two a day just... Mind wandering and it eats up in work done.
  • Most importantly, I can't concentrate on the most important work because I have people who constantly make pressure on me, most of them are basically noone, and haven't achieved jack in life, but, you know, why not leave plain rude comments every time you meet that guy...

So, I think I may going to rent out an office and just live, sleep, and eat there.

Why all of a sudden? I've heard Elon Musk when he started his first company, Zip2, was so broke, he didn't have money for rent (same), and so he just called a couple of offices, and rented out one with couches. He then worked days and nights on the product, slept on the couches, and showered in YMCA.

So here's the plan, lads:
One office costs 150€/mo.

(A dormitory costs of 100€/mo and about 3 hours every single day (transit time, "get them out of your head" time))

Showers are in the gym in the centre of the city. Maybe there's one in the office

I'll cook in electric cookers. (later on FullCook, hehe)

Sleeping in sleep bags.

And I don't see nothing stopping me.

Sure, dorm has all the pleasures of life, like a warm, private shower, a kitchen and a bed, but...

A solo space for a guy who grows alone at infinitely faster rate than being hindered by others is.. It's worth it. Besides, if I can create FullCook faster, it effectively costs me money not to be fast.

How do you think, what can go wrong?

P. S. Rooms in dorms are all taken. Besides, because of lack of working space on Saturdays and Sundays hinders me bad enough.
