Even if it’s just a way to pay the bills, a job is still a major part of our lives. After all, we need to eat and keep a roof over our heads.

That said, it’s hard to think of a profession without at least a few frustrating responsibilities that can test the limits of your patience.

To make those moments a little more bearable, the Instagram account @workmemesoffical shares hilariously accurate memes that capture what it really feels like to get through the workday.
