At times, when deadlines loom and things aren't working I start daydreaming of how awesome it would be to wake up at 6, work my day outside and then go home and not think about work anymore. Not having to wear "business casual" would be nice too.

Labour may be "harder", but what I do seems more stressful overall.

Talk to me again in January after a week of minus 40 though, I very much doubt I'll be dreaming of working outside then.
I dunno, all I can think of during a hitch is work it seems. I have rig-mares pretty regularly. From dreaming my only pair of rubber boots had holes in them, to forgetting to catch samples, to having a trip that goes on and on forever, they all suck.
