Who the hell has time to enjoy the city when your at some dump on the outskirts of BFE?

Stay away from hotel bars..rip off. Pack your own booze.

Pack food for three days and grab a cheap side salad on day four.

Grill 3-4 chicken breasts; chop em up and put em in small container. Boil 10 eggs and put em in a big ziploc; eat the yolks so your farts will stink. Brown rice in a small container. Hummus and carrots. Raisins and almonds. Pita bread. Lettuce/Spinach only last a day or two. Black beans in a container. Buy the Real Ice blocks from Target; stay frozen the longest. Buy your grocery at Wal Mart - i hate that place but its cheap.

Bring your running shoes, elastic bands, download some fitness apps on your smart phone (1.99).

First year pay SUCKS...ain't much better after that either. I know I'm on 7 year f/o pay and not by choice either.

Or...go back to school.

Good luck.
