im a manual worker...
for me it depends entirely on the specific job im on....
for instance the other week i had a jumbo studded wall to build,with all little corridors running off it and then board,after the first day setting it all out and erecting 25+ meter studwork in an aircraft hanger sized room,where the thing has to be plumb straight to the millimeter and studs set out precisely to take the load of the wall/edge of board,then to set out 4 door openings and 4 corridors,which have to be set to disabled regs etc,all worked off a tiny drawing...my mind was twatted! i couldnt sleep all night,i didnt even come on here!.....
but the next few days were boarding the wall,which is pretty extreme graft,humping 3 meter fire boards up scaffolding and screwing them to the studs,to be honest a fucking monkey could do that,albeit a monkey that had a scaffold tag and cscs card....but after them days i was right as rain,although shattered,i posted bollocks on here,had a few tins and slept like a baby... .
my brother has a window cleaning buisness,who is also training to be an accountant and does one day a week placement in an accounts office in lytham,he says that one day in the office tires him more than the other 5 days climbing up and down 3 story hotels in the wind and rain on blackpool prom....
i take my hat off to you office jockeys...theres not a chance in hell i could sit in office all day,id end up shooting everyone i think...
must be ace working around women in tights all day though....
