After a couple of mostly outdoor type jobs in my field I tried an indoor job because I was interested in that end of the business. The trips to various facilities in other States were the highlight of what became a very boring friggen job, with too many rules, restrictions on what I could wear (no shorts in a 72F environmnent? My nuts was sweaty all day and no ventilation!) , and the bosses were there all the time too.

I couldn't "stomach it" as you say.

I don't need crashing into hillsides type of excitement necessarily, but something to keep the blood flowing and brain working is important.

In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
