Remote work isn’t light.
It’s not breezy. Or casual. Or minimalist.
It’s a gear game.
Adapters. Monitors. Hotspots. Bricks of power and bricks of code.
You’re not travelling. You’re deploying.
You land in Crete. Without a plan for what’s next. You build a FOB and pray the Wi-Fi isn’t dropping.
(For the non-ex-military: a FOB is a Forward Operating Base. Temporary, tactical, and usually built fast. Kinda like my new “homes.”)
No, this isn’t the dream.
And yeah - I miss my old home. My old life.
But when going back isn’t on the table, you make it work.
You optimise the new normal. You carry the weight. You build with what you’ve got.
Because output still matters.
