Still excited to go into flipping work (5)
I believe the answer is:
photo
'still' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'excited to go into flipping work' is the wordplay.
'excited' becomes 'hot' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to go into' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go into others).
'flipping' says the letters should be written backwards.
'work' becomes 'op' (short for opus).
'op' back-to-front is 'po'.
'hot' placed within 'po' is 'PHOTO'.
(Other definitions for photo that I've seen before include "Camera picture" , "Picture (abbr)" , "Pic (abbr)" , "In brief, a snapshot" , "Picture, in short" .)
