I fantasize about this too (my mental image is standing at a production
line twisting widgets, and then when the whistle blows at 5, I get to
turn it off, go home, and do what I want to do...no stressing about
problems), but then I realize that it would be enjoyable for about two
minutes and then I would go out of my mind. I would probably go home and
continue twisting widgets endlessly in my dreams. 

At least in real life I get to solve my problems and they go away.
