Are you having a bad day? Same. There's something about coming back to work after the weekend that just ruins everything. No one likes Mondays, especially not me, and apparently you. The printer won't work again, the copier is out of ink, and your boss just informed you that the bathroom on your floor is out of order and you have to use the one 3 stories up. When you're feeling down about the fact that your weekend of resting, partying, sleeping, or being productive is over you can at least take comfort in the cuter things in life – like penguins!

These chubby creatures are sure to brighten your day. Their tubby, oval bodies, their beady eyes, and their tuxedo colors simply make them irresistible. Their infectious wholesomely adorable cuteness will put a smile on anyone in a grumpy mood, even those who have a case of the Mondays. Their little waddle doesn't take them far on ice, so sliding on their belly is a better alternative. Enjoy these arctic cuties and forget the real world for a bit.
