It’s 8:34 a.m. and you’re still in bed, hung-over and bleary-eyed from the bar crawl the night before. You’ve hit the snooze button five times already and you’ve gotta be at work in 15 minutes.

For the stoner sect, working on a pot farm must seem like the equivalent of a fat person winning one of those contests where they get to stuff their shopping cart with as much food as they can in one minute.

The office holiday party was originally intended to reward employees for a year of hard work, or to distract them from the fact no one’s getting a cash bonus. Since most people can see through this little ploy by upper management, it’s gone from an evening brimming with holiday cheer to a boozy night overflowing with alcohol-fueled antics. So, if you had a little too much fun at your company holiday party this year, here are some tell-tale signs that perhaps you should seek work elsewhere now, or enter witness protection.

The first day at a new job is typically a nerve racking combination of excitement, anxiety, and often, puke. You feel your stomach churning, trying to remember if the bathroom was down the hall to the left or down the hall to the right as you jump up and narrowly avoid knocking over the cute receptionist as you run through the corridor spewing chunks all down the wall. Or maybe not. But that is one way to screw up your first day at work.

Go figure: you’ve spent your entire life alone only to discover the girl of your dreams at the next desk of your new job. And beyond all probability, she likes you back. Too bad the corporate ladder consists of parallel rungs; you’ll never find an intersection as long as the rule book exists. How do you woo her despite all odds, defy the man, and live happily ever after?

Work sucks. Even for those lucky guys with the dream jobs, it still largely sucks. Which is why things like Facebook, Ebay, and solitaire were invented. Without these time-killers every single man in the world would likely have gone postal on their coworkers — which is a lesson to all of you workaholics out there: don’t wait until you are homicidal! Take action now to reduce the pressure that naturally builds from the boredom of the 9 to 5 grind. It’s not wasting time or displaying “poor work ethic.” No, it’s actually saving lives. So use this guide to help you manage that bone-crunching, spirit crushing, mind numbing, endless work related hours of tedious boredom.

All college guys have the same problem — the year ends and you move back home only to realize that the supply of fresh meat you were so used to seeing every weekend just isn’t there. If you want to keep your sex life from going the way of Gary Coleman (too soon?), you’ll just have to accept that it’ll probably be someone you already know. Just be sure that no matter who you choose to hook up with, it’s absolutely NOT one of these girls.

Facebook is a great way to meet new people, stalk your ex-significant others, and reconnect with people you never wanted to see again, but were too much of a wuss to deny their friend requests. However, the professional world has realized that since people are more likely to post juice personal details online than truthfully fill out that space where is asks w… Click to read more
