Yep, it's like playing a game that you like while having someone watch over you saying, "no don't do that, no that isn't good enough, you are taking too long, redo it all by this deadline", and the ever present threat their assessment of your playing will have on your ability to live your daily life.
Pretty much.
In the actual nature of my work, I love it. I'm a CAD drafter and 3D modeler. I got started on this path as a little kid when I loved to draw and design Star Wars ships, especially floorplans and schematics of them.
If I could do that all day, it'd be heaven. Instead it's always far less interesting things, on tight deadlines, with shitty software, and it has to be done in the least efficient ways possible, and I'm given vague and conflicting instructions on what is even wanted.
But it pays better than the Star Wars ships, and I like having food and a car and beer.
