\"10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Fun fact for you: you spend a third of your life at work. One WHOLE third of your life. That works out at an eye-watering 90,000 hours over your whole lifetime. And during those 90,000 hours, there are a few thoughts that will definitely have crossed your mind on the regular…<\/p>\n

1. \u201cHow is it ONLY 9:07am!? I could have sworn I\u2019d been here for AT LEAST three hours already!\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n
\"10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Office minutes are like treadmill minutes. They\u2019re 172529582% longer than your average 60-second job, and don\u2019t you just know it. This one\u2019s not just a thought either. You\u2019ll have the \u201cCan you believe it\u2019s only 10am?!\u201d conversation with at least three different people every morning.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cWant. Coffee. Need. Coffee\u2026\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n
\"10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There\u2019s only one thing for it. Caffeine. And lots of it #thankyouplease. There\u2019s no way you\u2019re going to make it through the day without it. Even if it does mean you\u2019re buzzing more than a bee by 11am.<\/p>\n

3. \u201cNo Sandra, I haven\u2019t got a sec\u2026\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n
\"10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ugh. Why do people always ask you that? Of course you haven\u2019t \u201cgot a sec\u201d! You\u2019re very busy doing important things (a.k.a. shopping online and checking your Instagram). And, why do they ALWAYS ask you that right before you\u2019re about to head off to lunch or worse\u2026go home!?<\/p>\n

4. \u201cOMG gossip! Must email my work BFF for a kitchen debrief\u2026ASAP!\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n
\"10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There\u2019s nothing like a good gossip with your work BFF but you can\u2019t just go and stand at her desk. You need to be sneaky. Your tea and toilet breaks are always perfectly synchronised so you can spill the beans. You\u2019ve also perfected the art of subtle nicknames for people to keep the goss on the DL, obvs!<\/p>\n

5. \u201cI wonder if it\u2019s anyone\u2019s birthday today?\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n
\"10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s one of those unwritten office rules that you bring in treats on our birthday and you\u2019ll often find yourself wondering whose turn it is to bring in some cake. Who cares if you\u2019re trying to be good? One little slice won\u2019t hurt\u2026<\/p>\n

6. \u201cWho\u2019s had fish for lunch?!\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n
\"10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There\u2019s always one fish lover who insists on reheating their lunch in the communal mic AND THEN eats it at their desk, stinking the whole office out. Nice one.<\/p>\n

7. \u201cWhat is it with the air-con in here?\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n
\"10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s an office urban myth that room temperature exists. It\u2019s either hotter than the Sahara or colder than the North Pole and it changes daily. How is anyone meant to dress for work when you don\u2019t know if you should be wearing sandals and a sundress or 8 layers?!<\/p>\n

8. \u201cIt\u2019s 4:30pm, no point starting anything new now.\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n
\"10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ah, the afternoon wind-down. No-one likes leaving things half finished (and there\u2019s no chance you\u2019re staying after 5pm) so you spend the last 30 mins of the day looking busy. But hey, it\u2019s given you a very Instagrammable desk after all that tidying! #goals<\/p>\n

9. \u201cMy office BFF\u2019s are the only reason I come to work\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n
\"10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Y\u2019know, beside the pay slip obvs. You regularly wonder how on earth you\u2019d make it through a day in the office without them. They\u2019re there when things go well, when you need to rant, and make all those tedious office nights out actually fun!<\/p>\n

10. \u201cFREEDOM!!!!\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n
\"10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Remember back in school that rush of excitement when the bell rang and you could go home? It\u2019s the same feeling when the clock strikes 5 and you can leave work for the day. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That is, unless Sandra stops you on the way out and asks: \u201cHave you got a sec\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n
