Is editing sort of like truck driving?

I think that sitting behind a desk is not a very positive way to spend your time. Certainly there are lots of good things that can be done but the act of sitting must have an erosive effect on one's health. I wonder how many hours I have spent sitting behind a desk? At least if you are driving a truck you are moving your arms around a bit and you are likely more consistently mentally engaged in your task at hand, namely driving on pavement instead of people and lines and other vehicles and such. I really don't mind working a long edit once in a while but it always reminds me why I much prefer more active lines of work, like camera operating.
