I got to my work vs I got my work

If by "work" you are talking about a task you are performing, you could say "I got to work on my project." If you wanted to say that your boss just gave you your task for the day, you could say, "I got my work from the boss." However, if by "work" you mean "workplace," you would say, "I got to work" or "I got to my workplace."
