quotations about work
Work today is not a place -- it's a set of tasks, timelines, and tools.

No man is born into the world whose work
Is not born with him. There is always work,
And tools to work withal, for those who will;
And blessed are the horny hands of toil.

"A Woman's Work Is Never Done ... But It Should Be", Huffington Post, January 2, 2016
I can't abide to see men throw away their tools i' that way, the minute the clock begins to strike, as if they took no pleasure i' their work, and was afraid o' doing a stroke too much.... I hate to see a man's arms drop down as if he was shot, before the clock's fairly struck, just as if he'd never a bit o' pride and delight in's work. The very grindstone 'ull go on turning a bit after you loose it.

I think collaborative work is becoming more and more common. I now work in a world where I'm dealing with colleagues from somewhere in the region of 80 or 90 countries and, quite often, we're using some form of connected technology so we can all work together.
