The story that follows is the story of a frustrated wife. In addition to working to support her marriage, the original poster (OP) is a doctoral candidate. Unsurprisingly, OP works very hard to maintain a healthy work-life balance. With the faculty comprising professors, students, wives, and other family members…

Excel-ent memes for office girlies.

No need to work overtime for these memes.

It goes without saying that personal hygiene is super important, but people often have different levels of cleanliness.

It was awful… the smell was stuck in my hair, my clothes, everything. I would immediately shower and then go hang out with friends. If I didn't, they would make fun of me (in a light…
