stephen girard work

Useless work required to be done only to prevent idleness. For example, moving a pile of bricks from one location to another only to return them to the original spot. Busy work.
Shoveling snow in a snow storm is real Stephen Girard work.

Work For Love

You said you needed full time help
'cause you're all alone
I said I'd work for nothing at all
If I just could take you home
And now you're taking applications
For your love
You wanted certain specifications
I circled the one that said all the above
Work... for love
Finally got my resume
And you said you'd reviewed it some other day
I said, 'girl, hey, do it if you dare
Where I'd like to go our love will flare'
Finally my letter arrived
And I knew you would be mine
Instead I had to prove my turf
For the first two weeks work overtime
Work... for love
You've got to work
You've got to work for love

Government work

“Government work” is what one does for oneself in a shop on company time using company tools, machinery and materials. “Government work” “hides” the fact that you are stealing company resources by implying that it’s a secret, off the books, project. But since everyone knows what “government work” means you really aren’t hiding anything, you’re sharing an inside joke.

When someone says “that’s good enough for government work,” they are admitting that they are doing less than perfect work because it’s just for their personal use.
Worker 1: What’s that? It doesn’t look like any of our usual products.
Worker 2: I can’t tell you, It’s government work.
Worker 1: It looks like a part for your new motorcycle.
Worker 2: I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you.
~~~~~~
Worker 1: That part you’re working on will never pass inspection.
Worker 2: Doesn’t matter, it’s government work.
