I hear tell that offices are breeding grounds for stupidity, requiring ample amounts of patience. ## 3.

When You Dreamed of Taking out Your Aggression The one regret I have about working from home is that I cannot have a work nemesis. I can't even turn the cat into my archenemy because we're cool now. ## 8.

Wait. That doesn't happen in real life. ## 10. When You Spend a Lot of Your Time Looking like This Anyway Staring off into the ether. Thinkin' 'bout the future. Wondering when your life went off the rails. Might as well get paid for it. ## 11.

Might as well start with a middle management position. ## 12. When You Imagined All the Office Parties Parties for birthdays, President's Day, Valentine's Day, Secretary's Day … oh, all the parties!
