Grueling long work days get the best of us, but there seems to be only one person who can make that situation seem so much better: Michael Scott from "The Office."
Here are the 11 parts of the workday in the office, as told by Michael Scott.
1. Starting the day: Starting off the day with a cup of coffee to give you a jumpstart, along with a compliment to "enhance work ethic".
2. Scrolling through your e-mails: The first e-mail you read in the morning dictates the mood you will be in for the rest of the day.
3. First task: Does your day really start until you have to actually do work? The first task always seems like hardest, but really it is because we just are in denial that we have to work.
4. PowerPoint: You thought Powerpoint was something used in school, and only in school. Well it seems that the only thing these executives like to see is PowerPoint, and only PowerPoint.
5. Feeling Stuck: There are moments you know exactly what you want to do, and how you want to do it, but then you remember that you are not even sure what you are trying to do. So ya just have to roll with it.
6. Clueless: After listening in a meeting, and leaving knowing less than you did walking into it, you start to question yourself. "Did I know nothing, or did they know nothing?"
7. Countdown for Lunch: The countdown for lunch begins, and you are getting excited to finally take a break. "Lunch break" means it is now acceptable to eat something while doing your work for an hour.
9. Mid-Afternoon slump: The morning seems so long ago, but the end of the work day feels so far. You could pass out any second, and because of that you start saying things that only Michael Scott would say.
10. Right before you leave: That one last assignment given right before you think you are free to go. All you want to yell to your superior is to chill, and wait for another day to start it.
11. The end of the day: By the end of the day, you are ready to pass out and sleep: ready to forget the day, and not ready to start the next.
