Hi. What is the meaning of 'work' here?
Dialog (that I wrote):
FRIEND/COLLEAGUE: Look, I know he only wants the best for you. So do I. I want to see you back at work, and--
GUY: Work? I don't care about work.
FRIEND/COLLEAGUE: ...I know. You don't care about anything, and I'm just trying to understand what's going on with you.
Questions:
- Would the Guy's line of dialog be perfectly natural here in respons to the Friend's/Colleague's line?
- Is it perfectly natural to use 'work' here to mean 'my job'?
Thank you.
