Every Sunday night, we all collectively board a small plane, with a super loud propeller, and the wind screaming in our ears so we can hardly hear each other. We are getting all kinds of instructions from some former skydiver who just wanted to surf his whole life, but realized that life costs money. So he gives us all kinds of last minute instructions. Make sure your parachute doesn’t have any holes. Make sure your backpack is secure; don’t forget to write all your relatives a letter in case this all goes wrong, and then Monday comes and we all leap. For four days, we are free falling toward one massive cluster of meetings, phone calls, running into co-workers that we ignored and didn’t do work for, and bosses telling us we have to do stuff. Then we finally pull the cord on the week and it is Friday. We are floating down toward the ground, just hoping that a last minute tree doesn’t get in our way before landing safely on the ground of Saturday. So while you are all floating down today, avoiding any last minute trees, here are some Bitter Friday Giftures to view while you try to avoid your co-workers with long branches and your tree boss.
Trying to go to work on Monday…
So try not to antagonize the boss…
Try to avoid getting hit…
Or try to open a document…
Or trying to chase down…
Or experiencing an afternoon crash…
When you are sitting in a meeting…
Because if you do get anything more..
So do your best…
Because if you manage…
You might finally make it until Friday…
And you might finally get that…
Until we jump out of that plane again on Monday…
Well, hopefully you have a bitter weekend thinking about this vicious cycle I just put into your head. Avoid the trees on your slacking float to tomorrow.
ARRRGGGHHH

Hilarious. I can’t remember when I laughed this hard! Thank you. Thank you. We are not worthy of your bitterness.

Everyone is worthy of this bitterness. We should all aspire for more though.

it’s 4:20 on Sunday afternoon and I’m feeling it – rushing toward me is the tarmac of Monday.

And it is now Monday and I just hit the ground and I’m barely walking.

There’s nothing like gifs and jumping out of airplanes to explain how bitter work is ALL the time.

For some reason I just don’t see you as the skydiving type Ben…

Oh, I would love to go skydiving, but be the expert there, so when people that wanted to do it, got up there, then chickened out, I would love to taunt them am make them even more scared.
