   I spent most of today coding Javascript, and I'm zoned out now.
   
   It reminds me a bit of my old job where I'd spend hours at a time entering data, concatenating CSVs, cleaning up large data sets, and making pivot tables.
   
   Anyway the sort of job that makes you zone out sort of sucks, because you barely recover from them even when at home. Also you tend to become fat and weak from all that stress, coffee, stimulants, and sitting.

   I appreciate that all of my jobs I've had require some kind of movement.
   
   I'd want to move around too much at a desk job and then I'd have to wake up earlier to burn off some of that steam in the mornings.

   I remember my boss at one stage (who asserted to be a fully qualified accountant) looking out at some guy power-washing, and being like "I'd love that sort of job, all you do is do your powerwashing and go home."
   
   Of course the guy he was envying was earning about 1/3 his wage.
   
   And it was a sunny day. No office worker ever envied anyone working outdoors on a rainy day.
