This has me wondering about the correlation between job and choice of recreation activity. I went over to a friends place today. He's pretty much completely reno'ing his house himself, and wanted to show me some of the new changes.
He works as a sysadmin, in front of a computer all day. But when he was talking about all the reno's he was doing, I could tell how much he enjoyed it. That he went as quickly through the workday as he could so he could come home and continue working on his place.
I had a really long day. In addition to skipping lunch, I got to work a 'surprise, bonus' hour when a truck showed up at 10 minutes to quitting time that had to be unloaded. All I wanted to to do at the end of the day was get home and stop moving.
Thinking some about it, that's pretty much the pattern with a lot of the folks I know.
