How does the scientific definition of work differ from the everyday definitions?

The scientific definition of work is very easily compared and equally easily measured from one situation to another. On the other hand, we casually and imprecisely use the word 'work' in day-to-day situations which have little or no equivalency. A skilled woodsman would not call splitting a cord of wood as much 'work' as would an untutored unfit novice. It's even possible the skilled woodsman might call it 'easy', or even 'fun', while the untutored unfit novice might conceivably call the task 'impossible' (of attempt). In another case, it's possible another person might consider an afternoon's earring shopping 'easy' or even 'fun'. Nevertheless, please allow me to assure you, an afternoon's earring shopping would be, for the writer, a considerably 'hard' session of difficult, trying and probably unsatisfying 'work'.
