If you're sleepy right this very moment, we get it. Work is tiring, and yet it's something most people do at least five days a week. 

The best way to make a work day pass by is having your favorite coworkers or managers around. If they aren't there, who's going to talk about movies or that one place you visited over the weekend or answer your silliest hypothetical questions? Without your work besties, you'd have to like, actually do the job you're paid to do. Boring! 

Have you ever fallen asleep at work? I unfortunately used to fall asleep at my desk sometimes, no matter how much caffeine I had. I think I had a cubicle which was just the perfect temperature, and with barely any windows in the office, the lack of sunlight sapped my energy. I fell asleep maybe two or three times, just for a few minutes… If your boss doesn't catch you, who's going to know, right? Call it a mini power nap, and then grind through the rest of your day feeling a little bit better. 

Check out these work memes below, which you can send to your workplace BFF. Next, this boss tried to fire an employee, but accidentally gave him a ton of vacation time.
