Have you submitted your PTO days yet?

No? Well, you'd better get to it! I know they say they only need to know two weeks in advance, but let's be honest… They always react like it's some big surprise. "Oh, you're leaving for two weeks tomorrow?" Yes, Linda, I submitted my PTO, and it was approved three months ago; this should not be new news to you. So go ahead and submit those vacation days for August right now, just in case. And if they try to give you problems about it closer to your off days, just respond with a meme.

  • How long do you scroll through memes throughout your workday? 1 hour? 2 hours? 5 hours? The whole 8 hours? As long as you get a couple of LOLs, I'm happy. But if you are able to finagle an entire PAID work day of just scrolling through memes… Bravo. Slow clap! You're a true hero. I mean, I do that all day, but that's my job. (Yes, I'm living the dream!)

  • Some days are harder than others, amiright? You go through your existential crisis, but have to keep chugging along. Wake up, work, eat, sleep, repeat; it all feels like so much, even though it is so little. And then you're telling me I have to cook dinner for myself, and maybe even an entire family someday, for like… every single meal?? That seems excessive. Can't we just eat memes together? Laughter is a form of sustenance, for sure. I wouldn't survive a day without it!

  • Listen, I'm telling you, the key to life is memes. Meme everything you see! Send memes to everyone you know. Heck, send them to strangers! Why not? Memes are helping keep the world going round in an internet-run society. Without memes, the online world would be a much darker and scarier place. But, luckily, we can always have a funny place to turn to when we're online, as long as we have memes. Praise memes!
