So what exactly do you do?

Sometimes I wish I had a M-F 8-5 job that I could just show up at, do what needs to be done, and then leave. Like driving a bus, or being a plumber. These types of jobs tend not to follow you home, to occupy your brain through all hours of the day. You tend to not dread these jobs if you liked them in the first place, since you're doing the same thing everyday. My job is not like that nor has it ever been. It is perpetual problem solving, perpetual politics, perpetual worrying about money. It does follow me home and affect my personal life, my relationships, my state of mind. Sometimes I think those with mundane, repetitive jobs have it easy. Then I have another beer out of the fridge, and find a new solution, and play a game of cornhole, and realize that I'm actually pretty lucky...most of the time.
