It sounds like modern day slavery, or perhaps more precisely "corvee" labor. You have to toil away on your master's land before doing your own thing. I find it unbearable, but sadly much of the world has to deal with it.

Now this poor dude can't even vent a lil in an online forum? To the OP: When it sucks a lot, try singing. It really, really helps. Throw your head back and let it out of you on the way home.
