Office

Bree Blakeman arrived at work on Monday morning and was sure her office was invaded and torn apart by thieves. Shee was in for even more of a shock when she found out the intruder hadn't been looking for valuables to steal...because it was actually a cute possum. turns out, the poor guy somehow found himself trapped inside her office and while trying to find a way out, trashed the place: "It wasn't until I went to check my computer on the far side of the room that I noticed a fluffy little face staring at me from behind the computer," Blakeman told BuzzFeed News. "And that's when I also noticed the toilet droppings and urine everywhere too. It all made sense." Not surprisingly, the little intruder became an instant meme.  

Cicada, a beautiful illustration series by the talented Shaun Tan.

Cicada is the story of an insect working in an office (much like a lot of us), and trying to make it through the day surrounded by people who simply do not care. Shaun Tan writes on his website that Cicada is, "a very simple 32-page picture book about the unspoken horrors of corporate white-collar enslavement... or is it? You never can tell what a bug is thinking."

Here are 10 pages of Cicada and we're already itching for more!

And we are totally smitten over these kittens! There is a transportation company in Ohio, and their IT/Finance department had taken on two very important projects this past year that just so happened to come with a set of 8 tiny toe-bean-filled paws. The projects were Credit and Debit. Two sibling kittens who have lifted the office's morale!

The source behind this iconic duo is a Reddit user that goes by the username u/carenl, Carenl originally posted a video of two kittens, in office, and it soon became viral.

Viking is a UK company that always tries to get creative with their office décor. Their latest project to inspire staff was their biggest yet – the creation of a whopping 13-metre-long dragon made entirely of paper! The aim of the project was to celebrate the return of the final season of Game Of Thrones and do a little marketing in the process. The dragon, which was primarily built by artist Andy Singleton, took 110 hours of design, construction and installation and "involved the equivalent of 1,200 A4 pieces of paper to make, and its final dimensions were 12.95 meters (42.5-feet) long, 2.8 meters (9.2-feet) wide and a wingspan of 6 meters (19.7-feet)." According to the company's blog, the dragon himself think it's "Impressive, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to ride that into battle without getting any paper cuts or accidentally setting my mount on fire trying to burninate enemies. "Carefully." Yeah….you see the problem is Carefully is not my middle name". Here are some photos and a video of the construction process. 

When you work across the street from a cat and want to know its name...@Erika_Strong works at the Shopify office in Toronto, which is lucky enough to be across the road from the home of a cat. After weeks of admiring her feline friend, Strong decided to try and find out its name.

Ames Animal Shelter is shaking things up in Ames, Iowa! The shelter is implementing new tactics when it comes to cat adoptions! Due to the unique rise of cat cafes, Ames Animal Shelter decided to take advantage of the unique situation!

"Could your office use a daily stress reliever? Do things get tense and you just need a dose of cuteness to get you by? Consider adopting an office cat! We have several that would do great in an office setting as a cuddly friend, we even have some bonded pairs that would ensure everyone gets a fuzzy snuggle." - Ames Animal Shelter

We only have one question now - are you hiring? 

These cats are trend setting. Offices everywhere will soon have kittens gallivanting about the office, creating needless chaos but giving a bit of whimsy to the workday. The corporate world could use some of that, maybe there would be happier people. Though I think it should be expanded to other creatures; working for a company with a bunch of monkeys or maybe a few giraffe. 

Keep your workday going in the right way with some of these adorable kittens full of milk mustaches, and make sure 

Nothing makes the day go faster than a little fun at the office

There's nothing like getting your insult across by way of a passive aggressive note – especially when you work in an office.
