Calm down terry -- whichever works for you is fine...

I thought the first part of the clueing was poor -- the word 'to' doesn't belong to 'about' or 'work'.

I just woke up on my couch/sofa/settee in my panty hose(nothing wrong with hold-ups or suspenders though).
Op is also short for the Latin Opus(work),usually a musical reference but can be any work of art - magnum opus = great work(of art) - like Tom Selleck's upper lip.
I agree it is a sloppy clue.
