Have to agree with Col. Money is the only thing work is good for unless you are one of the tiny fraction of the population who actually enjoy their job.
Interesting (or possibly depressing) quote from Ogden Nash below which just about sums up the dilemma…
“If you don’t want to work you have to work to earn enough money so that you won’t have to work”

I’m certainly not in it for the money. . . regrettably. Which begs the questions.
What am I in it for?
Is it work?
If it’s not work what is it?
If it’s not work should I bother worrying about what I’m in it for?
If it is work and I’m not in it for the money. . . regrettably. Then is what I’m in it for the answer to the question?
What was the question?
Am I in it?
What’s work?

Work is the curse of the birding / drinking classes. This and other such witty comments go to show how many have thought like us before in questioning work. Work is a necessary evil. You need it to get the cash to fund your life. It is, in fact, a common sense solution to the problem of staying alive - you trade what resources you have (time, skills etc.) in exchange for food and clothes and a house, and beer, and wine, and dancin’.
This said, we all still hate it. Very few must like their job and these are probably the lucky few who spend their time doing fun things, like bobbing around on a posh boat in the South Atlantic, showing people penguins (actually, given my sea legs, that sounds like hell). So, we would all rather not be doing it, but we have to do it. It is just a shame it takes up so much of our time. It would be better if we only worked 2 or 3 days a week - this is real common sense. Who writes this rubbish ? It is too early in the morning, I have too much to do, I do not get paid enought. And I have to amuse myself at work by filling in the balnks on this web site. I need a better job.

In reply to cols question of ages ago about word verification, I’ve just had ojcbum. It does generate rudish words.

My current employment has me sitting in a heated shack at the end of the world. It’s quite quiet here so I am reading the recent postings on this site. When a situation occurs which will curtail my current activities (arrival of precious cargo) I shall consume tea and scones, then go and chase Emperor Penguins, all in the name of work.
