A Midday Lunch of 26 Brown-Bagged Funnies to Get You Through the Workday (September 15, 2025)

It might not seem like it yet, but today is going to be a great day at work. Clients are going to be understanding and patient, your boss is going to take the day off, and management just cancelled all of your meetings for the week! Your inbox is emptied, the phones are silent, and you've been scheduled with your favorite coworker. Life is good.

While not every shift is as miraculously stress-free as this, overworked and underpaid employees cling to the notion of their easiest work days, reveling in the pleasures of a simple 8-hour shift and no work drama. Ultimately, we're all here for the paycheck, so if we can make it through the rough shifts and cash in on the best times, we can do anything: Even endure another traffic-filled commute.

So dream of your lunch break and the moment you clock out, because sometimes we're rewarded with an easy shift, and even the worst work days have to end at some point.
