Did you know of a holiday known as 'Work Like A Dog Day'? Did you know it is being observed today? August 5 is celebrated every year as 'Work Like A Dog Day.' This fun, unofficial holiday is meant to honour those who work hard at their jobs and put in their best in everything they do. Though the origins of this holiday are unclear, the phrase "work like a dog" is inspired by our canine friends who worked hard at their jobs during the day as herd dogs, hunting dogs, sled dogs and service dogs.
This year, as Work Like A Dog Day fell on a Sunday, we decided to compile a list of hilarious tweets about working and going to office that are sure to make you laugh.
Take a break from work and laugh at these funny tweets that everyone with a job will relate to:
