It's refreshing to see an actual day in the life video of a job where the person is actually working and not going around doing other things while they are supposed to be working. Can't tell you how many times I see someone post a day in the life of (insert job title) and they literally do less then 2 hours of work all day. I get some people can get away with it but it's not reality for most. He seems like a great worker, but it looks like he put in a lot of effort and time into his projects. I hope he gets some time to relax too.
