Ewww, we're at the point where we have to do all that circling back in 2024 that we promised when we still had presents, bank holidays, and alcohol to look forward to. While there are a few contenders for the worst time of year to be at work, the beginning of Q1 has to be pretty far up the scoreboard. The gluttonous distraction of Christmas and New Year has come to an abrupt end, and now we're expected to act like responsible adults in the workplace while also trying to stick to those pesky resolutions. It's a grim state of affairs.

At times like these, there's only one thing for it when we're in the pits of employment-based despair. That's right, work memes are here to distract us from accidentally doing our jobs properly. Perhaps it's time to book a vacation after you are done with perusing the examples below.
