We've had a similar conversation before, but I think you confuse "hard work" with "uncomfortable, obsessive, frantic work."

Have we? My bad.

I guess I only start to think of work as work once I don't want to do it. Right now I'm messing with theme design, for instance, and if I'm lucky what I'm building will be used by hundreds if not thousands of people, but I'm doing it for fun so I'm not counting it as work. On the other hand, spending ten minutes to write a paper is excruciating labor.
