Ever work 18 hour shifts 5 days a week for months on end doing concrete and rebar? 10 hours a day smacking a keyboard for three days is not exhausting. Difficult, maybe, exhausting, no.

No, but 16 hours shifts for a shorter amount of days (I dont remember how many 7-10 maybe) and I admit that did exhaust me and I got very grumpy.
I did not mean that it's fine to be exhausted and "barely alive" after 3 days but at least it's a little bit "better" than being exhausted after just 10 hours (i.e. a work day +2 hours) that'd be even more embarrassing.
I had a manager ask me how I was hitting six figure territory on $20 an hour. I told him to work day and night shifts. 8am 5pm 8pm to 5am for three months on that project. I lived on the jobsite basically.
My point being "exhausted " is a retarded descriptor for a not physically demanding task.
