I never really put alot of thought into moving from the shop to the office. The lure of 'management' and pie in the sky dollars made it seem like the right thing to do. In most ways the pros and cons are a mixed bag.
Visiting a customer yesterday, I had to make some modifications to units we had manufactured. I knew it would be a laborious job and I mentally prepared. Three hours of sweat and cardiovascular grind in my good clothes left me sore and tired and satisfied and peaceful. I had forgotten how good endorphins feel. Oh, I ripped my pants too. Cranking a breaker bar until I felt the skin on my hands release and form blisters and release under that to make just a big mess.
I woke this morning and my hands hurt and they felt so good. I can't judge anyone not wanting to jump on the 'career' wheels and go for a spin. It's much more rewarding to turn the wheels instead.
