Here are something you'll need to know...

So You Want To Work In An Office?

The world would be a very different place if we did not have office workers. They are the backbones or organizations and the people that keep companies from crumbling to the ground. Here’s to the office workers, and a little lit of the craziness that they deal with everyday.

1. If you work in an office doing one thing at a time is extremely uncommon.


2. Having a desk does not mean you have a desk job.

3. You know anyone and everyone (or try to).


4. You become the master of tasks that you didn’t even now existed (and thus have a very random to-do list).


5. The secretaries candy bowl (need I say more?)

6. Phone calls.

7. Printer jams.



8. E-Mails.


9. Paper Folding and Paper Cuts and Paper Everything.


10. It must be a secret rule that secretaries are the sweetest people you will ever meet.

11. It is very difficult to do one thing for an extended period of time.


I have been blessed to work in a number of amazing offices, and since I’ve had this experience I have learned that office jobs are not what you imagine them to be. Thank you office workers, for being amazing.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
