Greetings to employees the world over. How is beating those January blues going? I am going to guess that having to clock into a 9 to 5 will have one of two effects: either it offers a welcome distraction with the return to routine, or the bleakness of working life is only making everything worse. 

Whichever option seems more pertinent for you, we have the perfect accompaniment for it here at Memebase in the form of work memes. They detail the highs and more often, lows of the workplace in such a way that it is impossible not to crack a smile even on the worst kind of work day. Although looking at memes may not help you hit those KPIs, refusing to burn out and taking a few appropriately timed breaks might. It is a good excuse if your boss winds up catching you slacking off on the job.
