I work in the restaurant industry, and a bike ride after a ****ty dinner service helps a lot.

I recently wrote these two posts to the Metro Boston Regional Discussion thread:
Hey jmm,
Are you burning out?
Just yesterday I sent a PM to a BF acquaintance:
To quote the tagline of ItsJustMe, "Work: the 8 hours that separates bike rides." While cycle commuting is an effective antidote to burnout, IMO, at least posting to Bikeforums is a pretty good placebo.
Another favorite quote of mine is the Workaholic's Prayer, "Thank God it's Monday."

Are you burning out? Lucky you’ve got the antidote.

One of the primary benefits for me is the stress reduction. Well, a different kind of stress. Fighting through that torrential rainstorm on the way home vs. typical white collar stress. I think the former is 'better' for you than the latter.
