And I bet you were far fitter and healthier than you would have been if you'd spent that time sitting behind a desk.

In between tech jobs a far younger me did a stint working for the city library service. The job mostly consisted of humping great piles of books around from one place to another.

The only physical downside was recurrent ringworm - a common complaint amongst my colleagues at the time, due to some weird things that lived in and between dusty pages of books.
