Ruin My Week
Some people do physical labor jobs that slowly destroy their bodies while others work in offices that slowly destroy their souls. This is about those office jobs and all the strings that come attached to them. From forced corporate cheerfulness and pointless emails, to awkward interactions with co-workers in the shared kitchen, life is hell and office life is the 9th level. Anyone who has ever worked within the beige confines of a cubicle under the flickering fluorescent lights of a dropped ceiling will understand.
If you’ve ever worked in an office (or are secretly reading this at your office job right now) these office tweets are for you.

Every work email I send:
Hey!
Sorry to bug you!
Was just wondering
(If it’s not too much trouble)
Would it be possible to do thing you said you’d do?
Totally fine if not!
Prob my fault anyway I’m an idiot 🙂
Sorry to bother you!
Sorry I exist!
So sorry!
Just let me know!

90% of my job is squinting at my monitor when somebody walks by so it looks like I’m concentrating on some work.
