A working condition that can lead to illness or death

One of the occupational hazards of being a geeky self-employed entrepreneur who runs his own servers is that I am my own IT department. And that means sometimes I am awakened early in the morning by an urgent message from one of my servers. And after it’s fixed I often crawl back into bed. And it turns out that is also an occupational hazard of being the spouse of a geeky self-employed entrepreneur…

Lovely and Talented Wife: Urrrngh! Blaaaggh!
Me: My hands are cold.
Wife: You're freezing!
Me: It's like ripping off a band aid. You'll get used to it in a second.
Wife: You're freezing! And you're an ass!
