If there's one thing we've all learned from the popular show The Office, it's that the funniest things happen either while we are at work or because of who we work with...or honestly, both! Work can definitely be stressful, whether you're buried under a sea of responsibility, you've got a boss to rival Michael Scott, or your cubicle-mate is a bit of a mouth breather, sometimes you just need a change of perspective to lighten the mood. That's why it's so important to keep your eye out for humor and fun at the office. Some of us who've been working all alone from home since last year have been trying to make the best of it through fun zoom backgrounds and sprucing up our home office spaces. But if you're having an especially rough day, the following quotes will remind you that some quirky things about jobs are just universal and it's helpful to know that you're not the only one out there who's experienced it. It's like an inside joke we can all relate to from at least one job we've ever had in our lives.
