"I cannot work because I am busy for work".

I believe that many people had experiments of this feeling, as business persons.

This means that "I cannot do the work that I want to do, because I am busy for the work I don't want to do"

The English word "labor" as a mean of "working" seems to be "pain".

In other words, it seems that "to begin with, labor is pain, so we cannot reward is the price of the pain"

My wife once told me that "'fun work' is a contradiction".

I have works that I don't want to do, on the other hand , I also have the work that I want to do. So I might be lucky.

However, the works that I want to do, are not based on works orders from my company, but my will. And in many case, they are "under the table", that I don't tell anyone about the works.

Even if the works are "under the table", I am going to open about the work and try to contribute my company's profit. Therefore my acts are not "conflict of interest".

In face, many outputs of mine are generated from "under the table".

However, if you tell me that "you are in too luxury situation to hide your works under the table", I cannot refute you.

So, I wonder "fun work" ultimately means the same thins as "slacking off" or something like that.
