You go to school to get a job. You apply to get a job. You interview to get a job. You hope and pray and do a summoning dance to get that damn job. Then you get it, and you actually have to work.
They say “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. Do something you’re just kinda fine with and you’ll make funny tweets about it.”
Let’s look at some too-true tweets from the modern workforce. What else are we gonna do, work?

14. Setting the right tone is important…
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!

7. This cuddle could have been an email
A thing I learned at this week's staff meeting is I like to cuddle as I fall asleep.
