Why I work here:
I
have analyzed this question for some time, and have come to the
conclusion that I need a better definition for the word 'work'. Is it;
why will I work, why am I working, or why do I work, (here)? Maybe this
is a trick question. What is work, and why is it here? Is it really
work, if you enjoy what you are doing? Let's see, other synonyms for
the word work; labor, drudgery, grind, toil, exertion, moil, slave,
sweat, just to name a few. Let us rephrase the question - Why do I
practice the profession of landscape architecture? - (here). Now, would
that be 'here', as in my office, or would that be 'here' as in the
Portland office? My here may not necessarily be your here. Here, here,
……
I know that all sounded rather silly, but that is why, I 'work here'.
I fit right in...'here, here'
