A Midday Lunch of 23 Brown-Bagged Funnies to Get You Through the Workday (October 27, 2025)

Mondays stink worse than salmon in the break room microwave.

Burnt-out employees can all force away the feeling of the Sunday scaries at night, but when that Monday morning alarm rolls them out of bed, there's no stopping the bummer wave. The week has started again. Welcome back to the workweek, where seemingly meaningless tasks are followed by a lack of recognition and a bad case of managerial blues. 

Although it may be yet another 40-hour workweek of office doldrums, there are a few wonderful things that keep us up and motivated in the workplace. We'll always have break room tea breaks, smack-talk sessions, and post-company meeting debriefs with our favorite coworker. It's the people around us that keep the workplace lively, encouraging us to come back another day, endure another shift, and chase after that paycheck. Without your work bestie, a job is just a job.

So send these memes to your favorite coworker and help them procrastinate today. Be sure that it's for the sake of everyone's mental health in the workplace, and ultimately, scrolling memes while you're on the job boosts company morale. 

Congrats, you've just solved the employment burnout crisis!
