First of all, I treat all note entries as formal essays, not some email communication.  As such I correct them into formal and proper English.  So I removed all your emoticons and contractions.  These are for informal communication.  If you want to learn a language, you learn the proper and formal way first.  You don't communicate to your bosses in such an informal way, even in emails. They don't show your professionalism.  (I used this contraction here because this is a "private" comment to you).  Even so you do not see much.

There is a slight difference between work and job.  Work is the general term while a job is a particular instance of it.  You can love your work but hate your job.  I love both my work and job.  I was one of the lucky few.  My work is my hobby and vice versa.  I write software and it entails long hours.  Like an author, I have writer's block now and then.  So I come onto ITALKI to write something else.  Usually the different activity takes my mind off and comes up with a solution from a different angle that can be fleshed out in a different field.  It is now too cold for any gardening and get ideas from a different activity.  So ITALKI is the best since I don't have to leave my computer.

1.  If you want a negative connotation, use the word, "workaholic".
