You know that feeling when you are halfway through your day at the office, and you think to yourself, "Great, only 4 hours and 40 years left until retirement"? Yeah, that's us.

My dad retired at 65 years old. My mom is still working, but owns her own business and loves what she does, so she'll probably work until we have to force her to stop. That's just who she is. Purrsonally, I would like to retire at 60 years old, but I know that there's a better chance of my cat learning how to fly before that happens. In this economy, I'll be lucky if I can retire by 75. Don't even get me started on our kids' generation.

So, if we're going to be stuck in the corporate world for another 40+ years, we might as well make it as fun as pawssible by bringing our favorite thing in the whole world with us - cats. Unfurtunately, our work won't let us bring our cat into the office, but we can bring the next best thing, which is obviously feline funnies (AKA cat memes). Every meeting is slightly more bearable when sneaking a peek at a tiny kitten gasping at an even tinier snail, or giggling at an orange cat with a milk mustache. 

The good news is that cat memes will still be around until we're retiring, if we have anything to do about it. So, as we continue on the daily grind, at least we know that we'll have a good laugh every day. Just that might make it bearable…. maybe.

  • Something no one tells you about getting older is how fast the time goes by. Each day used to be an adventure, and now, if you blink too fast, all of a sudden it's half a year later.
