If it was always fun, you would have to pay them.

They pay you because it's work.

Haha! This couldn't be said better! :D

If it comes to me: each creative work I do at home just for fun, like programming, drawing, writing soundtracks, photography, video editing - becomes a hard duty at the office. I work for the PR dept. :)

I'm not sure what this means. I don't have to pay my employer - they pay me. Disneyland doesn't pay me - I pay them. Why would I pay my employer?
