Nope. These aren't examples of alienated labor. They also are basic life-sustaining practices that don't have to involve wage slavery.
These are examples of work that are essential to living. Wokring in a cubicle for a wage is an example of WORK (aka wage slavery). Office work is never empowering or nonalienating, despite the well conditioned robots who say that they love their jobs.

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE
An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said, "I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us."
