Perfectly Puzzled

It's probably too many years thinking about literature and movies that hasn't been totally beaten out of me yet by 4 years of marketing flack work (that is, not thinking), but it's always easy for me to look for those crystalline moments when life gets rubbed down to its nub.

So when I'm trying to play along to Will Shortz's NPR puzzle on Sunday morning, in a game in wihch he gives you the first word of a two-word term and your job is to come up with the second word, which is always four letters long and begins with the same letter as the first word and ends with the same letter as the first word, I instantly divine "white wine" but am stumped by "work week."
