Well you had better try harder, then. This is what you should be feeling as you approach your office at the beginning of the week.
Work is the new play.
It is time to stop pretending work is a chore that eats up so much of your life and admit you love it. For if you do not love it, you are never going to be much good at it, are you, says Richard Reeves, director of futures at the Industrial Society, who has written a book called Happy Mondays Putting the Pleasure Back Into Work. I do find work a pleasure. It is because I am lucky to have landed a really nice job that suits me well. As the advance copy of this book arrived on my desk, I had just started to draft a column on the subject of boredom at work.
