everyone at work ?

Should working at home evoke an affirmative response to GeoffC's question?

GeoffC · 08-30-2010, 09:19 AM

if it is work, does it matter whether one is at home or at the place where the slave-drivers drive from ?

TGS · 08-30-2010, 09:24 AM

The preposition "at" often implies some spatial location - "at work", "at the hairdresser", "at the bus stop", doesn't it?

GeoffC · 08-30-2010, 09:31 AM

does it matter as long as the work gets done ?

TGS · 08-30-2010, 09:49 AM

Does it really matter if the work doesn't get done?

GeoffC · 08-30-2010, 09:51 AM

can it be called work if it doesn't get done ?

TGS · 08-30-2010, 09:55 AM

Can't you have "work to do", as in, "I've got a load of work to do before I watch Coronation Street, but I can't be bothered to do it"? And if you can have work to do in this sense, isn't this work that doesn't get done?

GeoffC · 08-30-2010, 09:56 AM

semantics .... ?

TGS · 08-30-2010, 09:59 AM

What do you mean?

GeoffC · 08-30-2010, 10:00 AM

Do I not mean what you mean in a nutshell ?

happy_terd · 08-30-2010, 10:02 AM

Anyone else think that it probably does have something to do with nuts?

TGS · 08-30-2010, 10:15 AM

Don't we always end up there?

happy_terd · 08-30-2010, 05:26 PM

Should we try and break free from the sack?

TGS · 08-30-2010, 06:03 PM

Do you think it's really possible, or is it just a myth put about those who cannot or will not confront the true nature of reality?
