Most of us have worked in some kind of office at one time or another and guys, it’s no joke. There are stupid meetings, rules about space heaters even though they keep the air conditioner on all winter, and bosses who get promoted even though you have no idea why.
Which is all to say, if that’s your current situation, you probably need a laugh.
14. What would we do without exclamation points?
Every work email I send:
Hey!
Sorry to bug you!
Was just wondering
(If it’s not too much trouble)
Would it be possible to do thing you said you’d do?
Totally fine if not!
Prob my fault anyway I’m an idiot 🙂
Sorry to bother you!
Sorry I exist!
So sorry!
Just let me know!

13. It’s easier to say something kind of nice in writing.
My coworker is pregnant and they passed a card around and I didn't know what to write so I just put HAVE A GOOD BABY TANYA

12. You have to find little ways to entertain yourself.

11. Always look annoyed, like George Costanza says.
90% of my job is squinting at my monitor when somebody walks by so it looks like I'm concentrating on some work.

10. Now that’s the kind of program I can get behind.
Is there a way I can filter out all work emails except the ones telling me there are donuts or cake in the office?

9. Everyone is trying to be “good.” JUST EAT A DONUT.
office culture is someone bringing in donuts and everyone for some reason refusing to take a whole one and cutting off 3/8 of the donut and then at the end of the day there's like 17/25ths of 9 different donuts left

8. It’s a sad state of affairs.

1. Said no one ever.
I hate my job. The work sucks. The people suck. The pay sucks.
