Do you work hourly, contract, or salary?

It doesn't matter; it's time for memes. The meme factor never closes and always needs employees. The supply and demand for memes is constantly flowing. The quarterly targets are always reached. Meme bonuses for everyone! The memes are the pay AND the benefits. Listen, I know, it doesn't matter if you are working your dream job, you still have days when you wish you weren't. We are humans. We weren't built to be frolicking through fields and getting berries by a creek. Now we have to type "per my last email" like it's the arrow that catches our prey for lunch. It doesn't feel natural. But we are an evolving society, and we need to work. So, we try to find jobs that make us happy and remind ourselves, even when the going gets tough, that we are, in fact, doing what we want to do. What is life! C'est la vie, right? Oui! 

I've worked my dream job, I've worked several jobs I can only assume satan himself assigned me for, and I've worked jobs that were like fine, whatever, at least I made some friends along the way. Sometimes, it's the amazing team and coworkers you end up working with that really make or break the job. Like, if your work besties quit, it's only a matter of time until you do the same. Having a job is such a love-hate relationship. You begged the universe for this career and job, and now you have it! But, wow, I miss being bored. Remember when I was bored and had free time? I definitely took that time for granted. You know what has never disappointed me or gotten old? The memes that have come out of the job market. So let's clock into memes!
