I’ve cried at my desk at every job I’ve ever had.

Does anyone cry at standing desks? How does it happen in open plan offices, places where you’re all at the same big table? What about…
“The trouble with being a window washer is that the better you do your job, the less you have to show for it: It’s painful to do a job where only your mistakes are visible.”
“A new research study finds people who are considered unattractive are more likely to be depreciated and intimidated in the workplace.”
“A report, published today, claims to identify the point at which the average office worker reaches ‘their most unproductive point of the day.’ And the answer is 2.55pm.”
“Why does a shorter workweek after a day off often end up feeling longer than a normal week? While no psychology research has directly examined the phenomenon, some evidence suggests that it’s because we humans are easily thrown by disruptions in our routines.”
Answer these questions to determine whether or not you are a workaholic. I already know my diagnosis, since I will drink pretty much anything with workahol in it.
If you have already worked 40 hours this week, go home, you’re not gonna do anything else productive. I mean, how nice is it out there? Go! If your boss gives you a hard time tell her I said it was okay.
