Watch Out, Watch Out for Work

This is from On the Clock by Claire Baglin, a short novel about work.

I wrote up my CV and my cover letter with mama’s help, my father read them over but didn’t have any comments. He frowned and added there’s more to life than work, you’ve got to have hobbies, passions, things you do on the weekend, and you can’t let yourself get sucked in, otherwise that’s it. I don’t understand what’s it and my father says again watch out, watch out for work.
