Man, that must be nice. I've already worked about 62 full time weeks this year and we aren't 52 weeks into it, I just worked my 16th thanksgiving in a row too and even with all of that OT I won't even make the median household income for my state this year (which is lower than the federal quite a bit). Meanwhile my CEO went from 11 million to 54 million in compensation over the last 2 years.
Every second of my day is logged and reports are made by someone and reported to other persons about how much I'm doing and how fast. My brain similarly has to be firing all day, the entire time I'm clocked in. Visually scanning data from imaged documents, processing that in my head figuring out what to do with and how to classify items in the case, then trying to remember what special handling procedures apply for any specific element. I start the day sharp, by the end of the day I can't even sit down and pay attention to tv because my brain is just shot from having to keep track of multiple phone-books worth of rules/regulations/procedures and tariff numbers. I've been working 6 days a week for 6 months now, Sundays once my wife and I come home from church I just check out and stare in the general direction of the TV while my mind just goes somewhere trying to find rest.

I however do not work in software.
