If there is one thing that every hooman and potentially animals (if they have a concept of a work week) are lacking when Monday rolls around is motivation. It can be the motivation to get out of bed, to leave the house or even to do an iota of work while in the office. But no matter who you are motivation is a major problem on Mondays. But as we hoomans have learned throughout the years, putting a carrot on the end of a stick is a good way to make moves, or to make your horse move.

So to get your metaphorical motivation horse moving, we made this medley of motivational animal memes to make your Monday more manageable. As if we were going to leave you to your own devices to find motivation to move things along. You'd likely end up trying to draw motivation from some sad poster your bosses hung up to try and raise morale.

  • POV: you and your work bestie who are like Bonnie and Clyde when you are in the office, but the second you leave to live your private lives you are as good as strangers. It dosen’t take away from what you have while you are at work, but you come from such differing worlds, it is no wonder you are so different.

  • The pawfect solution if you are having to put up with a bullying boss at work. You simply find an image just as ridiculous as this dog-horse hybrid and add your boss’ name to the image. Forever branding them as some sort of dranged creature with no place in this world. Which potentially explains their poopy pawsonality.
