Isn't it funny how our inner dialogue colors words with different meanings. I also have more negative feelings connected with "job" than with "work" but neither one cause negative feelings when used about quilting.
I have also found that my inner dialogue has changed over the years. For instance the old expression "killing two birds with one stone." I always thought of it only as the analogy it is meant to be and never thought twice about using it. Lately, I hate it and now when I start to use it out of habit, I stop myself and think of another way to express what I am trying to say. Like "more than one way into a castle".....bet you thought I was going to mention the cat. Hate that expression even more.
