It depends on the task. For my job over the summer (chemistry-related) there wasn't much emotion, it was more of a do what is asked of me and occasionally take up other tasks out of curiosity.

For the organization that I help lead during the school year, it's much different. There is passion involved, and I do what it takes to make other groups happy and most importantly -to get what I want for my organization-, it is not worthwhile unless the absolute best outcome is realized.
