Waitress Vs. Mailman

digressions

MFP gauges your basic activity level and gives the guidelines for a physically active job as "i.e. waitress, mailman"...
Oddly enough, I am both of those! On weekends, I deliver food...during the week, I deliver the mail.
Just curious - anyone else? Also...having done both jobs (in fact concurrently doing both!) I'd say being a "mailman" is far more physically demanding, and quite probably more mentally taxing than most people realise. Waitressing has it's own challenges of course, and is certainly not an easy profession.
Discussion, please

Former waiter, current teacher.
I'm more active as a teacher. I also snack a lot less as a teacher. :P0
