Anyone else work a high intensity job? (Page 2)

I am a skilled trades supervisor in a GM truck plant.  I have two floors, two differnt truck lines and about 400,000 sq feet of fllor space packed wiht stuff to keep running.  Long days, lunch every now and then.  Have you seen the cost of gas?  You know how truck sales are, lots of stress in my job

This story reminds me of working in a stable as a kid.  Volunteered b/c I loved horses (smart free labor for the stable owner).  I was like 12, working 6+ hours in the middle of summer mucking stalls.  I would come home totally wiped out and my mom would say, "you are NOT falling asleep on m my furniture like that!" and I would proceed to pass out in the middle of the floor for hours.   

I commend everyone with a physical labor job that also trains for tri's.  Talk about HTFU. 

I'm a Project Manager so I'm either on the computer, in a meeting or on a conference call.  Very sedentary, which is not good and makes me really stiff.  I just finished a 15.5 hour day (I worked from 9:00 a.m. Thursday until 12:30 a.m. Friday morning).  That really cuts into my workout time.  It is a stressful job but not physical.  At least the people with physical jobs are getting that physical activity.  I got none today.  I even cooked a TV dinner in the microwave and ate at my desk for both lunch and dinner.  

I am an air traffic controller in the Navy.  Definitely not physical, unless you count rolling a chair around and staring out windows or at a radar screen,  but there are times when it can tax the nerves a bit.  I was previously stationed at a tactical control squadron that deployed with Marines.  Now that was full on high intensity in every aspect...

Yep im in construction, i do glass work.  im lifting and carring heavy glass all day in the heat.  i just started my tri traing a couple months ago, and im super tired, but hoping it gets easier!!
