I guess I would like to add that sustainable work is that which is something
that the doer finds interesting and/or creative and/or a reflection of
him/her self.  Something that seems to provide meaning for the doer.
Something that even in the absence of payment, the doer might continue to
have some interest in.

Shouldn't an important part of sustainable work be that it produces
something that people want -- that, indeed, enhances the lives
of those using the output?  I'd be inclined to put this very high
on the list.  (See my essay on "Human Values in Work" in _The
Changing Nature of Work_, ed. Ackerman et al, Island Press '98)
