I don't like working, so I figure it will be in hell.
If we do have to work, are we being slave laborers manufacturing goods that Satan sells for big profit?
Will we get a guaranteed lunch break?

Hell is just one big party. Think about it, it's Satan... why would he want to punish us for living a life as a non-believer. He doesn't believe in God either.
Hell is booze, sex, and rock-n-roll. Care to join me?

"hell" is translated from the (hebrew and greek) words for "grave" and the bible says there is no work nor thinking in the grave.. There are two resurrections.. In the first one, upon the 'last' day, believers in Jesus are raised (to work to help rebuild paradise) and 1,000 years later everyone is resurrected, there is a veRy long day of judgement where all is examined.. anyone not believing after that, will go to the second death.. or "grave".. and the last bad thing destroyed is "the grave" - which the Father sent the Son to show it overcome.. but the good news got buried for the most part. and everyone hates God instead..

Ah no. Were you ever not loved? Did you have any point in your life when you thought NOBODY cared about you, didn't care if you lived or died or starved or got raped or went to hell or was even there or whatever? OK let's say thay you have been through this. Now imagine that, 10 times worse, because this time it's for real. That is hell. Not the "fiery pits" or whatever. It's the opposite of being loved--apathy. Not hatred, but the absolute form of uncaring. Can you even imagine what horror that is?

A guy dies and is sent to spend eternity in Hell. Once there, he's told he gets to choose from 3 options to spend the rest of eternity. He's taken to a room (option 1) where the poor souls are being bathed in firey oil and are wailing and screaming. In another room (option 2), he sees the poor souls having their flesh continually ripped from them. For his 3rd option, he's shown the sewage collection station of Hell. Everyone is standing waste deep in waste, smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee.
After considering his options, he picks the 3rd and gets his coffee mug. As he reaches to light his cigarette, Satan strolls past and blows a whistle and says "All right everyone, coffee break is over. Get back down on you hands a knees and scrub that floor!"

Hell is the eternal punishment for your sins.
So your time in Hell will be a reciprocal repetitious suffering of your sins on Earth.
So the biggest suffering in Hell will be separation from God's presence.
It's kind of like the apple dangling in front of the horse: always reaching, never touching.
Now let's talk about hellfire....
That will be not the purifying kind of fire found in Purgatory nor will it be the joyous heartfelt burning love of God found in Heaven.
It will be the painful and searing-of-flesh neverending fire that defines only a portion of life in Hell.

No, you will be comepletely bored out of your mind, since hell is a place of separation from God, and a place where your sin ( noted in the Bible as your "worm") never dies. There will be a part of your sin nature that you will live in continuously. Like, if you are an angry person, you will be in hell.
No one will be able to talk to you either, because everyone will be consumed by their own sin. You will be completely aware of your past mistake of rejecting Jesus as your Savior, and will be able to see Heaven as a place you cannot get. Hades, is in the center of the lake of Fire. It is always night, and you won't be burning, choking, or any of that. You will simply be drowning in your own misery and despair of the greatest mistake of your life. It will not be "fun".
So, after hearing of your coming end, because you cannot escape death, are you willing to come to Jesus?
Revelation 3:20 " Behold, I (Jesus) stand at the door and knock. If any man hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in. And eat with him, and he with me.
I pray that God has drawn you to himself. For today is the day of Redemption.

I thing generally not. But creatures such as the "son" (if anything that comes out of someone can be considered as her child) of my "fiancee" (the woman I got engaged to 3 years ago, and answers my telephone calls only once in a few weeks), will probably have to work, after basically enslaving their parents.

I think Satan uses his workers to make shoes for Nike.

I will probably be one of the rulers in Hell, so I'll let you know if I'll allow you a lunch break.
