Labor Day — that end-of-summer holiday when we celebrate the achievements of workers by giving them one whole day off.
It’s like receiving a participation trophy for a marathon you didn’t sign up for but are forced to run every week. As we lurch back into the 9-to-5 (or let’s be honest, 8-to-6) grind after that glorious three-day weekend, you might be hit with the reality that you actually only have to suffer for four days this week. It’s not Christmas, but we’ll take it.
Let’s make a toast to the short workweek, the unsung hero that takes the “end” out of “weekend” and gives it back to “weekday.” In honor of this almost tolerable shorter week of work, we’ve whipped up these funny work memes that are almost as satisfying as deleting all your unread work emails in a fit of rebellion.
So go ahead, and relish in the rare joy of a shorter corporate sentence. This week, you might even get to experience an emotion closely resembling happiness. But don’t get too comfortable—there are still 32 hours of spreadsheets and soul-searching in the bathroom to get through.
