I work full time but after commuting etc I was coming home at 9 pm. Same with my sister but she had 12 hr shifts. (On paper, she works at a hospital and she's always coming home late). Normal 9-5 is doable. The fuckass hours we have, not so much. I'd try though.

    When you work long hours... Do you start late then? I mean, I was shopping for food in the morning when I was working shifts. So, when my shift started at 2pm or 10 pm I had plenty time before work to go shopping and plenty time to cook.

    And I live in a country where most stores close at 8 pm nd are closed on sundays.

    Still able to cook.

    I can still cook. I worked 11-7, but had a 2 hr commute by bus. 1 hr if I was lucky and all the buses lined up. My sister worked 12 hr shifts at a hospital but she'd work extra due to patient issues so more like 14 hrs some days.

    Like I said, I'd make an effort and usually I was fine. Id prep food on the weekend ahead of time.

    So you do as I do sometimes. OK, I haven't had a commute longer than 1 hour in a decade.

    Somehow many people can't cook... as in "burn water", "able to use the microwave" or "cook by telefone"... instead of creating a meal themselfs.
