I worked in photography all my life, and only photography since I was 14. Many time with new trainee employees as we were struggling with production of some complex photo like a 4x12 foot photographic print for a TV set or convention display. I would tell the new guy "just think thousands of people all across the country are commuting home in a hurry to go play in their darkrooms. We do for a living what they do for a hobby" and most replied, let's get their butt in here to help.
Working in 100% total pitch black for hours at a time gets old. I spent a couple hours every day in absolute total darkness. I can tell you the crawling under a 64 inch wide photographic paper processor to fix a slow leak on a processor tank full of the bleach-fix sucks big time. I did it many times over the years. Or working and repairing the processors at all all sucked. I don't miss that part at all. Digital is a million times easier.
