Instead of letting the 40-hour workweek bring you down, we thought you might enjoy some jokes about work to lighten your mid-week mood. Whether you’re dragging your feet on a Monday or woke up convinced it was Friday but quickly learned it was only Wednesday, you’ve come to the right place.
These office jokes are so funny, they’ll make your day better — or at least they’ll take you away from what you’re working on for a few minutes. Plus, when you get home and your kids ask what you did today, you can tell them you managed to sprinkle some humor into your workday.
If any of these make you laugh out loud, share them with a coworker who could use a pick-me-up too — or even @ your boss, if you dare.
And before we begin, just remember: the reward for a job well done is always more work.
