When doing stonemasonry I never found a way to leave the backache at work.
There are always new work related challenges to plague the off-work hours. Try
keeping a truck running when it has really been used -- late night brake work
anyone? How many craftspeople stay up late at night doing their own books?
Though I guess if you put in a 16 hour day there is not much room left to take
anything home. I'm always curious how laid back and slowly office workers seem
to respond to the world, though I realize that I am trapped in my perspective
which appears relatively more agitated.
