Description
WorkI don’t want to work just for the sake of work,
So I tell myself that with a little more work I can put an end to work;
But more work is always the result of work that was only an attempt to escape the work.
When is enough work enough and how much work does it take to say ‘enough’s enough?’
So I’m trying to work out a plan that involves as little work as possible.
But now I find it’s more work to work on not working then the work itself.
Why can’t I just work out all of this work and stop working on working?
Now I’m working to add another work place so I can add another place to work on my resume.
Exactly when have I worked away the need to stop needing work?
And once I stop working I find I’m working so hard to avoid work it feels like work itself.
More and more I find that half the work of work is the half of work that you never work.

Blah! 
What I like is how you used some words more than once in different contexts. Like work, for instance. Not sure on what you can really improve, because this piece really had it all.. humor, a certain airy profoundness, and even the PUNCTUATION was as perfect as you'll ever get. The only thing to watch out for is screwing with a certain girl's brain this early in the morning. 
Oh, and for some reason, in this writing, you can tell that you're younger. I don't know how but.

Why thank you! It does seem like a younger me writing eh? Could be because I'm sort of complaining, or how there isn't really anything deep about it. I still like it though, and really enjoy reading it. I was actually gonna write "This word will lose all meaning to you" in the description, hehehe. Great minds think alike... and what the hell are you doing up so early reading my stupid ramblings?

It's not that early.. It was like eight o'clock or something when I wrote that. Ontario-time, you know.

I realize I responded to that message in under a minute and felt that needed explanation, for the sake of my own vain personality. I work all day at a fairly inane job at a very large company. I have a couple computers on my desk so when I get insanley bored, which this job often does to someone even though most people wouldn't think so, I flip to this site (the only site I have any interst in). And your message appeared right as my lunch hit. So no, I'm not some big fat disgusting unemployed slob. I don't think I ever could be... unless i get rich.

You know.. I think you're the only one that makes the message-system on dA very complicated for me.

Pfftsh. Now you can't put "gentleman" on your resume, and now you will never become a male stripper. I hope you're pleased with yourself.

Wait... i might come off retarded asking this, but why wont i ever be a male stripper?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because you're not a gentleman because you're a rude st00pithead. Jesus, man. Way to pay attention!

Oh. I guess I expected something more complex... and .. ya know, funny. So now we know that MY writing is still awesome, where is your new stuff?

I just spent most of the day out in the sun, let me pretend that I've still got it.
Hmm. About that. I've yet to unearth anything that I wish to share, or is finished. Because I know that once I post, I'll never come back to it..

That was probably more information that I would care to ever know. So if your lunch hit when it was 8 my time.. What part are you from?
