A bad time at work carries zero redeeming value. It throws you off your equilibrium and leaves you wanting to fast-forward through the day to go home and crawl up in bed.
But if it’s any consolation, everyone has gone through this displeasing experience. Some people even have enough courage to snap a photo and show the world their messed-up state of affairs while at the office.
These images are from the various corners of Reddit, which we’ve compiled for your entertainment. Enjoy scrolling.

I Brought Muffins To Work Because Of My Birthday, 5 Minutes Later They Told Me I Am Fired Because Of Budget Cuts
I feel like an idiot, I’m already poor and this job was a bit of light in a dark cave. Still, let them keep the muffins though.
For many employees, taking advantage of happy hour offers at the friendly neighborhood watering hole is the best way to blow off some workday steam. However, experts like Michelle Gibbings don’t recommend this.
In an article for Fast Company, Gibbings recommends more productive activities like meditation, exercising, and self-care activities instead. She says having a good laugh is enough to get you out of that funk.
“Your working day will have ups and downs, obstacles, challenges, and good and bad days. It’s up to you to find the best way through it,” she wrote.

Fly Emir8s - And Get Your Non-Profit’s 20 Ipads Confiscated
A little background - I work in IT, but volunteer with a healthcare non-profit that does health screenings around the world. We have screened at least 5,000 people since 2016 for hypertension, diabetes and kidney failure, successfully connecting at-risk people in remote areas with the help they need. I developed an app that uses a laptop, a wireless access point and 20 iPads to collect testing results, which allows us to collect data and get it to the doctors that can help.
After a successful 3-day screening in southwest Uganda last week where we saw over 1,000 people, I received my luggage back with a nice “we confiscated all your stuff” card from the Dubai airport, courtesy of Emir8s Air. Airport chat via WhatsApp confirmed it was taken with no ability to get it back. No reason was given, despite the airline’s website saying that checking tablets in luggage was allowed.
Our health screening program is pretty much over now.
A shift in mindset is necessary to rid yourself of the bad vibes from a lousy, unpleasant day at work. In some cases, simple physical activities like taking a shower can help.
As grief specialist Lianna Champ explains, it’s more about visualizing the ideal work-life scenario where you can back off whenever you feel overwhelmed.
“Play some music, jump in the shower, and sing at the top of your lungs. Afterward, sit quietly for 10 minutes,” Champ told Women’s Health, adding that this practice should be done upon arriving home without touching any device.

No Joke, Was At Work And This Chunk Of The Ceiling Fell. I Ducked And It Hit My Back. Doctor Says My Bones Are All Okay
You can set the tone for how your day will go, and it begins with a healthy morning routine. Workplace and well-being expert Oliver Henry advises three things: hydrate (drinking a glass of water upon waking), relax (simple breathing exercises and journaling), and achieve (keeping a manageable to-do list).
“By creating positive morning micro-habits that enable you to ‘fill your own cup’ first, you'll be in a much better state to deal with any challenges that come your way that day,” Henry noted.

Walked To Work In A Brutal Snowstorm, Only For My Key To Snap Off In The Key Hole While Trying To Unlock The Door
Sometimes, we need to take a step back to determine the real problem. According to psychotherapist Amy Morin, this may involve knowing the difference between problem-solving and ruminating.
As she noted in an article for Forbes, it helps to focus on how to get caught up on the bills you have to pay rather than thinking about how unfair it is that you are behind.
“Ruminating will hold you back,” she wrote. “If you catch yourself doing this, you need to change the channel immediately.”

My Gingerbread House vs. The One That Beat Me In The Gingerbread House Contest At Work
To note: it IS made of real gingerbread, handpainted with edible paint and to look like wood, molding chocolate and actual candy. The only things that are not edible are the trees (the green portion) and wooden sticks the house sits on, stairs and hot tub. It's supposed to be an overwater bungalo during the winter.

I Have To Be At Work At 8 Am Tomorrow
Honda civic FWD. I don’t own a shovel cause it hasn’t snowed enough to need one in years. We got 8-10 inches but then the plow came through and made that wall. It’s going to get super cold tonight and freeze anything that managed to melt in the sun today. The worst part is the roads are starting to look drivable and I’m still stuck for now.

Normally I'd check the speed before turning it on but today was an off day for me. To make matters worse I was working with a coworker who's last day is today so he wasn't bothered to help clean it up, he just laughed. For those who were wondering, it's an instant pudding mix.
