I’m also not that into the excessive use of the word “work.”
“Are you still working on that dessert?”
No, I’m not working on it. The person who made it worked on it. I’m eating it, and it’s not that hard.
“We’ve been working on this TV series all winter long.” And this is not coming from people who created the show. It comes from viewers.
It’s just a way of speaking, you’ll say. But remember, a language is not just a collection of signs and sounds. It’s a universe of meanings. When everything needs to be positioned as work, it betrays an incapacity to accept that rest is as great and important as work.
It’s OK not to work every second of every day. Let’s all just relax already.

Yes!!! I hate this… eating (and other things) is a pleasure, not a chore!

It’s funny how eating is always in the service of some other agenda than pleasure and staying alive.
It’s also funny how people transpose the pleasure of eating with other pleasures (like in those stupid gelato commercials). I see these and I wonder what has happened in those people’s lives that such a commercial would resonate with consumers.

What gelato commercials? Let’s see if I can diagnose. 😀

This one. There’s a longer version where they go full on R&B slow jam right after they put the kids to bed.

Ah,I know them! They are totally Freudian. The parents are stuck in the oral stage and can’t help the boy go through his Oedipal stage. Hilarious!
