The daily life of a Roman priest was no different from the ordinary Roman. The ancients did not have a "clergy" as we consider them today. Almost anyone could become a priest or priestess and most times it was just an honorary title. Some were in charge of shrines and would perhaps make a sacrifice to the god on a certain day, but this took up very little time. Other priests might walk in a procession on a festival day. There was very little religious connotation with a priesthood, it was mostly a position of bragging rights.
