It's another gloomy day here in corporate America, but things are looking up. Why, you may ask? Well, it's Friday, which means we're one step closer to breaking out of this pantsuit prison we call work. Though I don't think even the happiest of hours could bring a smile to the permanent grimace I've developed over the course of this week, I know for a fact that you'll get a kick out of these.

You know when you get into the office and you can feel your swollen, itchy eyes begging for more slumber? It doesn't help that blue light glasses are probably a hoax, and the office chairs we're glued to are the sole reason for our spider veins. We'd do anything, and I mean absolutely anything, to go home and bed rot for another few hours. The ungodly hours of the morning should not be spent staring at the tiles in the shower, ruminating on an excuse to not go into the office.

But when there's a will, there's a way. You made it. You pushed through. The spider veins crawled away, and the blue light glasses are coming off. It's Friday, we're in love. Scroll below to feel even better.
