This thread kind of confused me when I first saw it posted. I wasn't sure if it was about work, or working on your own stuff. The OP's job is obviously a lot different than mine since he works for himself. I definitely do not 'work' for fun. I plan on retiring from 'work' as soon as I am financially set. I'm a design engineer for a very large global company. Most days I do not get a lot of job satisfaction. I think maybe I search to replace that by 'working' on things around my house, property, garage. I sit on my ass all day at 'work', so it feels good to do physical 'work' on the weekend and see the completed result at the end of the day.
