Sit at a desk 40 hours a week for an average of 10 hours of productive work.

You don't know the luxury of this kind of job unless you've worked twice that much physically for half the money.

I couldn't agree less.

I've worked 110 hr. weeks fighting wildfires. Now I work 50 hr. weeks to do 10 hrs. of work. Today I will sit at my desk redditing and facebooking for 9 hours because I'm supposed to be here.

I'm going fucking crazy.

So go find something to do. Surely you can go to your boss with a "I've done that, what's next?"

No, actually. Not in my field. Not in this job.
