working in heat, whether from ovens/fryer, engines, or something else is so incredibly draining that its hard for people to understand unless they've done it.

At the end of the day you just want a room temperature shower and a cold drink, the mental capacity isn't really there for much else.

It's like everyday work is an endurance sport.

This is why I feel so much for those building the stadiums for the next football(/soccer) world cup. What's even worse is they're being worked to death as slaves in all but name.

If you don't have enough downtime/nutrition to recover between shifts you slowly fall apart.
