A Man Lived in his Office for 500 Days
You know the expression, "You should live to work, not work to live"? A man by the name of Terry K. confused those two somehow and ended up residing in his place of employment. The 500 days he did, it lasted. The man described how he moved behind his desk in an office building after renting out his actual Venice Beach condominium in his Salon article. Before anyone arrived, he would get up, hit the gym, and take a shower. To give the impression that he had been actually commuting, he occasionally would even arrive home a little bit later.
Why would someone carry out such a deed? Money. Terry wasn't ever at his apartment because he worked 60 hours per week. He was having trouble, had medical bills and student loans. In order to save money, he rented out his home instead of living there himself. He was able to save $20,000 because the neighborhood's average monthly rent at the time was $1,300. hundreds of hours spent traveling as well. Why did he then stop? He lost his job when the business failed.
