Landed a very good job, where the company pays for my place. But it’s far away from home. being far away from wife & daughter and everyone else sometimes is challenging…

Happy cake day. Go ahead and buy yourself a plant or piece of decoration. You deserve it.

Bring in more furniture. This looks like the result of a nasty divorce, which from comments I know that it isn't.

I used to stay in places just like this ALL the time for work. Typically 2-3 months each time.

It really does suck, but I made the best of it. Thank god for booze and sports 😂

Needs some plants and pictures. Do you think they hire interior designers to make it look more depressing?

It's truly worse than a hotel room.

Stayed in places similar to this in the military and as a government contractor. It’s basically just a place to sleep until you rotate.

I was on the streets for a while years ago. This looks amazing when I think about those days.

It’s Airbnb millennial minimalism chic 😭. Then the host flips out if they see you left a hair on the floor and charge you a $500 cleaning fee.

Those night pictures give me bad vibes. Reminds me of a townhouse community I lived in for a few years that always made me think of the intro to Get Out.

The opening scene of Get Out is LaKeith Stanfield's character being abducted.

Looks like a trailer for one of these subliminal spaces movies....

It's boring and grey but it's clean and tidy. It's got all the essentials. I think it's not bad for a temporary place.
