So what is work?

Just had fun watching a video made by Ecco shoes, about the making of an advertisement for…Ecco shoes. It has no commentary, just a music track.
It’s basically a straightforward picture of what went into the production of this particular ad (you see it at the end).
It makes putting an ad together seem like a lot of fun, far more fun than work in fact.
It’s strange how different people’s work runs the gamut from being real hard work, with little imaginative input, to being almost all imaginative stuff – the work side of becomes just like play.
My current job varies from what might be called surfing the Net to sitting down and praying with the other staff to long discussions about strategy and mission and difficulties and such. It could easily be thought of as ‘not’ work, but in fact I sometimes often come home at the end of the day worn out. And then I get on and do stuff like Orble or one of my other blogs or write some music, and none of that seems like work either.
Maybe a ditchdigger would like to swap jobs with me for a while? Nah, think I’m happy doing what I’m doing.
