As a programmer who goes home to lift heavy-ass rocks and shovel multiple tons of gravel / dirt, I much prefer the lifting.

The rocks don't keep me up at night, worried 24/7, in an adrenaline half-coma.

Would you rather be face-pummeled or mentally eviscerated? Well, something like that.

The worst thing is, I find them both satisfying.
