Not every shift has to be a bummer.
There are some work days that are destined to be legendary. Although work is boring, lame, and a chronic means to an end that the workforce just can’t shake (Blast these darned monthly bills!), work can also be fun sometimes. Sharing moments of vulnerable hilarity with your coworkers is a universal experience that all employees have experienced, and it’s not a relationship that can be recreated outside of the job. When a client does something memorably silly or when your uptight boss’s shirt gets untucked in the funniest way, coworkers can ride that serotonin boost for months at a time
Turns out, workers are so starved for entertainment in the workplace that just about anything can conjure a laugh, a smile, or a twinkle in your eye.
Although jobs are, at times, stressful, annoying, or just downright unsavory, cherish the moments of hilarity that make the work day tolerable. Namely, I mean, the inside jokes, the longstanding traditions, and the restaurant-style, cringey Happy Birthday songs that HR insists are a necessity. The workdays will keep piling up on your calendar, and the seasons will change outside your workplace window, but the coworkers within these four walls are forever, and oftentimes, your favorite coworkers are the ones who get you through it.
