You have no idea if my job is cushy so don't make judgments on things that are impossible for you to know. I happen to have just worked eight 16 hour days in a row out in the rain and mud fighting to keep lights on. So fuck off.
And your hourly rate of pay climbs to what on those days? YOU choose to work there, why? Because it's less work & responsibility & better pay than you can make working for yourself, right?
