The Office: According to Stock Photos

by , May 20, 2012 — 3 Comments

There’s nothing more fun, entertaining, or blissful than working in an office. And if you don’t believe me, just take a look at the libraries of stock photos out there. I’m telling you, you’d better catch the next bus, taxi, or train to the tallest office building you can find: Cubicle life is awesome, and we’ve got the pictures to prove it. Check out a day in the life of a workplace—according to stock photos.

 
It’s not that we’re all extremely uncomfortable with one another and feel the need to appear important by making pretend calls to the office the instant the meeting was over—we really are that important.

On Fridays, everyone in my office lines up to give each other a massage—we’re that close.

Someone from the IT department always comes to my desk in person when I have an issue, and never berates me for not updating my anti-virus software.

I can watch cat videos with Bob all day, and no one says a word—which is great, because Bob really likes cat videos.

We still wear pantyhose, every day. They’re just so comfy!

Shoes, however, are totally optional.

Safety is priority #1. Some of those cat videos are intense, Bob! Be careful! Also, when Bob is done with his daily dose of cat videos, he treats us to the vocal stylings of The Village People.

Our computers are just disguises; we use magic to get work done.
