I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I'm honest I'm probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

Office jobs also vary greatly. I work an office job and yesterday I worked about 12 hours with a 1-hour break to drive from one office to another. I typically work through lunch and still find myself overwhelmed with too much to do.

But the one hour "break" isn't really a break. It's traveling time

Yep, and that's how I log it in my hours, too.

On a personal level, I just find driving very relaxing because it's one of the few times I feel like I can just be alone, so it always feels good having to drive somewhere for work knowing I'm just running the clock (which...I usually end up exceeding anyways...)

Personally I find driving exhausting. Especially in a car and in a city.
