I feel the below link from Jimmy Akin really clarifies the Sunday obligation with regards to work and I wanted to share it. For me, at least, it helps answer a lot of questions that have been in my mind and that have been posted on the forums.

Sometimes you have to work on Sunday. It’s just the way it is. You can try to relax a little bit, but sometimes it’s not something you can’t reasonably achieve. It’s important, however to remember God, especially on Sunday. While you are working, offer it up, pray throughout the day, make it more holy than you would normally make your work. Consider the work that Jesus did. He probably worked on Sunday. Priests work on Sunday. Heck, for me, doing something like mowing the grass is relaxing. It’s hard work, but I get a sense of accomplishment by doing the work. I can even have time to reflect or pray while I’m walking back and forth.
