Beating the Cube

Hyperbole and A Half

On a Wednesday that is feeling super far away from Friday - I'm wondering what helps everyone get through a particularly long work day. Sometimes it just feels like these grey cube walls are swallowing us whole, and I am in search of new ways to make the days go by a little easier. Here are a few ways that you guys make 5PM come a little faster than normal: 

  • Look up flights, prices and destinations 
  • Search for new music and listen to albums all the way through
  • Listen to Matty in the Morning (religiously but won't admit it to coworkers, friends or family)
  • Twenty-five minute lunch break call every day to a cousin - to share her day's horrors and to hear about her cousin's stay-at-home parenting horrors
  • Wii Tennis (I wish I worked at her office!) 
  • Head over to the office's fully stocked kitchen for a beverage and some snacks (wouldn't mind that office either!) 
  • Send friends music on Spotify 
  • Plot an escape
  • Google Chat
  • This American Life & The Moth
  • External meetings in far away lands 
 Hope these suggestions help get you through today - if not, just watch this video it's guaranteed to cheer you up! 

This, this, this and this are typically where I'll spend my lunch breaks!
