But that is only looking from one perspective.
That repair man is going around to many peoples freezing houses. They are also freezing their butts off all day. And not just one period in winter, every single day of winter.
And when they fix a house, they don't get to enjoy the warmth afterwards. They have to go to the next freezing house.
Understand that impact.
I believe I understand the perspectives, but I'm unconvinced that there isn't asymmetry. It's one person's job.
Like, I'll whine all day about my job. But I'm under no illusions that I didn't sign up for it, and I'm extremely cognizant that while it's a bummer that I have to do my job, I understand that the people I support are having a worse day than I am. I'm not doing anyone a favour, I'm doing my job.
