When you work in a trade, you have to get used to some seriously wacky hours. Forget about regular weekends or peaceful evenings - those are just fairy tales for tradespeople. If you're an electrician, you might find yourself battling a storm at 3 a.m. to fix a power outage or waiting for clients to come home from their 9-5 grind before you can zap some life into their homes. There's never a dull moment in the world of electrical work.

We're almost there; the weekend is just around the corner! It's so much harder to enjoy work in the summer. Unlike winter, when everyone stays indoors due to the cold, in summer, we just want to be outside soaking up the sun. It's hard to be cooped up in the office all day, especially when the best weather has passed by the time we leave work at 5 p.m. We usually find ourselves staring out of the window, daydreaming about being outside, wishing we could spend the whole day in the sun instead...

Technology has made our jobs both easier and harder at the same time. Why? Because technology often has a mind of its own and decides to work on its own terms. It can be so frustrating when you're trying to get work done, and the internet goes out or some issue with your computer interferes with your progress. Back in the 90s, a quick kick to the side of the modem would usually fix the problem, but it's not that simple nowadays. It's also frustrating when the tech team takes an average of fiv...

Another day, another eight hours spent in the office. There are some days when office life is a breeze. You get to hang out with your favorite coworkers, the workload is light, and you might even get to hit up your favorite lunch spot. Ah, the sweet taste of a midday burrito! Not all days are a grind. But then, there are the other days. The days where you're hanging on by a thread, furiously trying to chip away at the looming pile of work on your desk. You find yourself trapped in the endless s…

There's nothing worse than waking up late for work. It's never a pleasant experience. It's usually our own fault, too. You hit snooze one too many times, you accidentally set your alarm for PM instead of AM, or the worst culprit... you play the dangerous game of closing your eyes for 'just a few minutes' and then wake up 45 minutes later. Next thing you know, you're racing through your commute like you're immune to the laws of the road, hoping you don't get pulled over and make yourself even...

When you work at a call center, every day is different. You never know who's going to pick up the phone and call you that day. Will you get the super polite Gen X-er in need of genuine support, the Karen who thinks she knows best (even though she's the one who called in the first place), or the boomer who takes 45 minutes to explain they need help with something they could have easily Googled? Sometimes, the lines are dead, and you can goof around with your coworkers, and sometimes, you can't...

Another Monday comes and goes.

Only the most brave people are capable of having a successful startup. It does not matter how smart you are, or how brilliant your ideas are, if you don't have an incredible amount of sheer resilience or bravery, you will never be able to make something out of your startup. That said, once you have started this journey, you can never turn back. Being an entrepreneur becomes your whole personality, not to mention that it is also your whole life. You have to work endlessly to make your idea becom…

There's nothing better than getting along with your coworkers. After all, you're together a lot, and there's nothing like bonding with your coworkers over the shared misery of sitting in a cubicle for eight hours a day. You've got someone to share your coffee breaks with, someone to help you with that pesky Excel spreadsheet, and someone to vent to when your boss schedules a meeting on Friday afternoon. It's like having a built-in support system, except instead of therapy sessions, you just g...
