Working sucks, but having money to spend it great(we can all agree). I enjoy working because I appreciate when that direct deposit hits randomly and my overall amount in my bank goes up. Now that is a joyous feeling that almost nothing compares to. Furthermore, whether you work over summer break and attend classes the rest of the year, like I do, or you work all year and go to school, you can relate to this laundry list of complaints and thoughts you have while on the job.

1. "Only one more hour of freedom."

2. "I really need to start getting out of bed and get dressed."

3. "Oh no. I still have to drive there."

4. "This traffic sucks. I think I might quit. Might."

Giphy

5. "Omg, Dan totally parked in my spot that I ALWAYS park in."

Giphy

6. "So, like, how many hours do I have left?"

Giphy

7. "Only like six hours left, and I haven't even walked in yet."

Giphy

8. "Oh no, the boss is walking towards me, LOOK BUSY!"

Giphy

9. "Phew. She only wanted to tell me I was doing a great job."

Giphy

10. "Wait. She's still talking to me. Now she's giving me a list of things-to-do."

Giphy

11. "Wow. Okay. I'll be here late, again."

Giphy

12. "No! It's only been 45 minutes."

Giphy

13. "I hate these dumb uniforms."

Giphy

14. "Did I feed the dog that I'm dog sitting? I'm only doing that to make extra cash because this job pays me nothing."

Giphy

15. "How many hours of my life have I dedicated to this job?"

Giphy

16. "I wish I could be in Spain. Or Italy. Or Greece. Where is my travel abroad experience?"

Giphy

17. "Oh, look. Only two hours left. Okay, so that's like four 30-minute sessions at the gym."

Giphy

18. "Will I even be able to contemplate going to the gym after this shift?"

Giphy

19. "I wonder if all my friends are having fun not working and hanging out with each other."

Giphy

20. "How come Jared gets to go home early? What has he done that deserves this amazing opportunity?"

Giphy

21. "Maybe I should ask for some time off. I know I just started working a week ago, but work life is stressful."

Giphy

22. "Yes, 20 minutes left. Power through."

Giphy

23. "Okay, Jan. We get it, you had a GREAT time on your spring break trip. Now please walk away."

Giphy

24. "YAY! I'm free at last!"

Giphy

25. gets into car "Damn. I left my phone charger there…Nope, we are going home. Not worth it."

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.
