Yes for sure. This is why I left PA after my 5th season, 14 years ago. I'm still with my same employer in industry. Best decision I could have made.
It is a huge grind, but after that it is back to normal work. I don’t want to say you get used to it, but it should get a little easier in terms of expectations. I hit a wall more around mid March, and then come back from that to finish April strong. It’s been crazy the past couple weeks but the end is in sight!
You make a pretty good point, I tend not to believe there's anyone who can work ridiculous hours and not have a problem with the quality of the work. But despite that belief, there do seem to be people who can just power through no matter what. For whatever reason, they're wired in such a way that they can just maintain enough concentration to work effectively and shake off fatigue.
I don’t know I’ve always just accepted. This was the life I chose and that long hours and being dead to the world mentally during the latter months of business season was normal not to say I wouldn’t like to get some more rest during busy season and I just don’t expect.
