Maybe it's referring to it as "work" this is causing all of the Hobbits to be elsewhere.

Okay, lets try this: It's party time!! Everybody get ready for the big party for the 10,000th post for the Hobbit Hole. First we will have the athletic events. The warm-up event is page-sneaking. OK everybody, line up and head for the '00' post. On your marks, get set, sneak!! (Not yet though, still too far).

Party time! - Oh goody!
- I love a good party! Maybe that shy cutie pie hobbit over there will talk to me!
