At the start of every week, workers should feel inspired and invigorated by their careers, with billowing winds from the higher-ups filling their sails with motivation, determination, and an ever-growing sense of accomplishment. Instead, most of us barely made it to work today, hitting snooze three times before inhaling a road coffee and trudging off on our morning commute. There's no wind in our sails or admin at our backs, just the dwindling will to clock in and restart the cycle again. 

Alas, as fortune would have it, it's a pay week! So if you're a biweekly beauty who relies on the simoleans to reignite your passion for your job, never fear, payday is near. As much as it grinds the gears in HR, we are all just here for a paycheck. We are not a family. We do not need to spend time together outside of work. And we certainly, absolutely do not need to have another pizza party. Just write us a check, or maybe a cash bonus, and we'll be on our way, enduring another round of our 9-5 existence, knowing that we'll have enough skrilla to pay the bills. 

Perhaps if you're lucky, you can afford to buy yourself a little something extra this month. Go crazy. Go nuts. And go enjoy these work memes that laugh at your pain.
