It's Monday. Again. How is it Monday already? Yesterday was Sunday, a day that started so innocently and ended with the slow creep of existential dread known as the Sunday scaries.

But you still dragged yourself to work, poured the fourth cup of coffee, and finally mustered the energy to open your email. Instantly, you realize that some overachieving coworkers were online all weekend, ticking off tasks and setting expectations you didn't even know existed. And your higher-ups were up at dawn, already piling seven new items onto your to-do list before your brain has had a chance to boot up. 

Monday meetings should be illegal. Seriously, how is anyone supposed to make meaningful decisions before their third cup of coffee? On a Monday morning, nonetheless?

  • These 35 memes capture the slow, painful realization that you checked out emotionally before you even walked in the door. 

    They highlight the struggle of surviving the first day of the week, the absurdity of spending another four workdays at your desk, and the universal desire to hit snooze on life itself.
