I’ve only had one job that came even close to what I would consider an office job. I was briefly the bookkeeper for the Buffalo Exchange in my hometown. While the company was awesome to work for, I wasn’t cut out for sitting in an office all day. I took the job during a small hiatus from hairdressing, which I promptly went back to after leaving the bookkeeping job.
Now I work from home and I couldn’t be happier, but I still remember what it feels like to go to a job that you aren’t exactly stoked on. Here are some hilarious office thoughts to cheer those of you up who happen to be stuck at a bummer job today.
What do you do for a living?

“Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I’m working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I’d say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.”

I work in retail, where I actually have to work. I’d kill for a cushy office job where you didn’t have to constantly be on your feet, dealing with a customer, etc. Is it really so bad? Shit, if I had a job like that I’d do much more than just find a way to appear busy.

I work retail and I think some of these things too,… namely the one about zombies, the one about how many hours are left, suicide, self-injury, …. yeah,… … You don’t have to work in an office to hate what you have to do to that degree. I work very hard and I give it my all, but it feels like everything I do at work is meaningless as well as useless. I love working with the customers, even the ones that are so horrible you wonder why they think its okay to treat another human being that way. I wish I had an office job.
Either way, these were hilarious. I loved them ^.^

Some of these were pretty funny.
As of last week, I’m a cashier… but before that I was a cart pusher (aka a courtesy clerk) for six months. There was no such thing as an easy day. There still isn’t, but the physical demands are severely lessened.

I wish I had a cushy job like that. I work in retail and you have to be on your feet dealing with customers for your entire shift.

lawl…yeah I liked my office job more than working at McDonalds. I actually worked though.

the folder one is funny.
I used to work at a high class restaurant and you’d think the people working there would be decent, but they are a bunch of two faced jerks. they are mostly nice to customers, who pay them to be nice to them. this one bitchy coworker was yelling at me and I got into so much drama nearly everyday that it was like the catty people from jerry springer-the restaurant edition. it is like this one particular bitch was hired to start new drama there and they don’t fire her because they feel sorry for her because she’s old or something. people tattletale on you and report you left and right, blame you for things that you didn’t do, then you have to defend yourself like a criminal. it was working in hell! forget the money, I’ll never work there again, not even if they paid me a million bucks. now I understand when people go postal. if I worked there any longer, I’d probably give that girl a bloody nose! I wanted to snap the drama starters’ necks
most of them were females, a few males.
I work at an office now and it is a breeze compared. I get paid more, too
I get to dress up in cute outfits. I hated the strict dress code uniform at the restaurant. I learn more everyday at my new job, have friendly coworkers, no daily attitude, I get to dress up and there’s a bunch of sexy men working here
