While browsing Reddit this week I cam across this post in r/showerthoughts:

If you work 40 hours a week at an office for 20+ years, you will have seen your co-workers more than you’ve ever seen your parents, siblings, or spouse.

Which made me go figure out how many years I've already spent in an office:

2.13 years

OR

6.94% of my life

Hmm.. Maybe I should do something about that....

I kept reading though, and the top comment is from corrections officer u/Mythirdeyeisbrown:

I'll do you one better, I'm a corrections officer in a prison. I work 12 hrs a day, 7 days out of every 14. If I stay in this job for 20 years I will have spent 5 years in prison.. voluntarily. I really need a new job.
