Hmm... my problem is understanding what does the place of living matter in this. Perhaps it comes from neve being in "big city". Here, i'm living next and working in the biggest city Helsinki, population ~0.5M. This is not annying to me. I have a job, which I enjoy doing and get paid pretty good. Noteworthy is that I probably would not take a job, which would pay twice as good, but wasn't as enjoyable.

I quess that my view on these things is that most things annoy you as much as you let them. If i want to sleep happily during night, I put my cell phone on silent for example. Or even if I have a laptop, which to work with. I don't do work at home unless i count it as working time (eg target is 40 hours per week). I I work one week 50 hours, then I probably do 30 hour week later on and so on.

Another thing that is important is vacation. In vacation one should NOT work pretty much in any circumstances. I may come to my office to read mails and web, but I won't answer to work related matters. Happily here we have (mandatory by law after 1 full year of employment) 6 week vacation per year so one can have a month long summer holiday :). And during holiday its important to have days, when you do NOT have to do anything. Just hang out and do whatever (almost :)) comes to your head.
