Happy Fourth of July, corporate servants of the 21st Century! I don’t doubt that you’re ecstatic to wake up on your own time instead of to the grueling iPhone jingle that you keep forgetting to change. Not only is it a perfect day to unwind, but it’s also the beginning of an amazing three-day weekend ahead. What more could you want out of a federal holiday than some hot dogs, a heaping pile of fireworks, and turning your Slack status to «away»? Nothing. It doesn’t get better than this.

You know what happens after a long weekend, though, don’t you? I hate to be the one to break the news and prepare you for the anticipatory nostalgia you’re about to feel in about two seconds… but it doesn’t last forever. I’m saying this only so all of you hard workers can make the most of the days ahead before you’re back to slumming it in an uncomfortable office chair with your ears still ringing from the fireworks festivities that lie ahead tonight. Remember, these are the memories that matter. The days in the office are simply leading up to the next amazing thing… Scroll below to laugh through the pain until Monday.
