Military stuff. While everyone sleeps in on lazy Sunday, watch officers in windowless rooms look at big computer monitors. Intelligence people do there [redacted] thing to feed those monitors. Aircrew and mechanics sit in old buildings on the edges of runways, checking and rechecking their aircraft every few hours. Weather people go out every hour to measure clouds. And deep in their bunkers are teams with fingers on nuclear triggers. Be it a Russian missile launch or a fisher in distress, a system of hundreds of people is out there 24/7 waiting for the red phone to ring. It might not be glamourous, but I'd rather work every Sunday morning than spend Thursday afternoons designing a better ringtone for that phone. In practice, weekends and 24/7 operations are more relaxing than the normal workday. All you have to do is your core job. There are no admin headaches, no stupid memos to write or HR-mandated online courses to take. No teams meetings. Everyone can focus on being ready for the mission.
