Meme Monday: Work Intruding on Real Life Memes

Yes, yes, I know: work IS real life.

Yeah, but on the argument of "live to work" vs. "work to live", I'm definitely on the side of "work to live".  I can be a workaholic as necessary, but I prefer to keep work to a minimum. I have work acquaintances and friends, and I have acquaintances and friends outside of work (in various hobbies). Never the twain shall meet, and I prefer it that way. 

I've learned that even though I work in a "geeky" job, that doesn't mean that people in that career are into geeky hobbies. Quite frequently, the people involved are as anti-geek as you can possibly imagine, almost to the point as if they were deliberately trying to prove they were NOT geeks.

But no matter, these memes are for those times when you want to do your geeky hobby but work intrudes...

Pretty sure this started out life as a TikTok meme.

Been there. This past week, in fact.

I have had bosses who told me I didn't have the fire to
go all in on whatever the job I had was. Well, call me
crazy, but I think I get more motivation out of my hobbies
than most work. Period. From Reddit (and Mematic.)
 

I've heard that one before. Still, on a Mac? Impressive.

    And yeah, I'm a "work to live" person as well.

    1. Thanks for the reference! I'll update it.

      The webcomic also reminded me a bit of the artstyle in the old NPC Webcomic, but the creators are two separate people.
