I certainly used to have variety when just going to work on the (then under construction) airport in Hong Kong.

Wake up at 5.30am....coffee.

Down to the street 16 floors below to catch the first underground train of the day at 6.10 am.

Ride the train for 30 mins.

Last stop on the line, get off and walk for 15 mins to the ferry terminal.

Board the 'work' ferry, along with around 300 Chinese, Pakistani and a few Europeans.

Ride the ferry for 1 hour 15 mins to the Lantau Island Chek Lap Kok airport site...biggest construction site in the world at that time.

Disembark, and find the beaten up old bus to take me and fellow workers to our particular contractor's 'yard'....(the construction site being around 6 square miles).

Go to my truck, and after doing all the pre-work checks on it, drive to my actual place of work for that day.

9 hours later...reverse of the above.

7 days a week.
