Spending 8 hours a day including 3 hours of coffee and lunch breaks
doens't compare with digging up ten tons of soil and wheel barrowing
it to a donkey cart to build a Roman road.
 
I worked one summer for a contractor building a new development. Most
of the work was building leach fields which required pushing
wheelbarrows of gravel along 2x12 planks to dump in the ditches. In
would drive to work morning using my palms on the steering wheel since
it took a while for my fingers to work.
 
Other tasks were little better, strictly grunt work. It could have been
1960 or 196 AD.
 
 
I was thinking more of the small merchant or craftsman. Live above the
shop, no commute. Do some work in the morning, go to the games in the
afternoon. About the equivalent work week to what we have - two days off
a week, although randomly distributed.

Another factor in medieval Europe was the various saint's days, feast
days, fast days, and other events in the liturgical calendar. There are a
lot of them.

All Saints.
