Thoughts on WorkbyDennis Wilson The Meaning of Work/Humanities 202 – Winter 2011
This class made me question the connection between work and life??? ???? ???? ???? ????
Is work what we do every day to pay our bills?
Or can work can be fun too?
One definition of work is… work (wûrk) n.  1. Physical or mental effort or activity directed toward the production or accomplishment of something.* * http://www.thefreedictionary.com/work
It sounds like the goal of working is to achieve something and hopefully you get satisfaction from completing whatever you are working on!#!
So maybe the key is working at  or on something you enjoy so work doesn’t feel like work!
