In Academy Award-winning director Bong Joon Ho’s “Mickey 17,” Pattinson plays Mickey Barnes, an unlikely hero who finds himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living. Again and again and again. Posters featuring the different Mickeys have recently been released that show us–through Pattinson’s facial expressions accompanied by witty captions–how Mickey feels about each job.

While we can’t speak about the unique challenges different jobs pose, we can still relate to how Mickey feels in each poster. After all, who hasn’t felt like not getting up from bed to avoid going to work, right?
Imagine you’re new to the job as a fresh grad and one of your daily tasks is to make sure there’s always paper on the team printer’s paper tray, then suddenly, paper cut. Or you have to prepare coffee in the pantry and you spill the hot beverage on your hand… with the paper cut.
There’s always that boss who’s always on everyone’s case, controlling every little detail.
Office politics and inggitan are oftentimes the worst cause of work stress so we try our very best to avoid them at all costs.
When deadlines and meetings run so late that they eat up some of your time for self-care.
Eating solo in the office pantry or building cafeteria during all the hustle and bustle of lunchtime can be quite lonely, especially if you get there with all of the seats already taken (with some saved for people who are not even ready to eat yet). But then again, eating in solitary can also be very freeing and peaceful, and is a must-try!
Not as commonplace as the other workplace scenarios on this list, but some employees we know have experienced the occasional line of ants in the cubicle, mosquitoes in the hallway, or worse, hearing rats scurrying about in overhead pipes.
Office crushes can be very inspiring. But seeing your crush all lovey-dovey with someone else from work hurts real bad that you’ll want to message your boss for a day off… or five.
We’ve all worked with that person who never cleans the office microwave after using it to heat up spaghetti or dinuguan or any other delicious but messy and/or smelly meal.
Who hasn’t felt this way about their job at least once? No job is perfect but as long as it makes us for the most part happy (and fed), it’s worth it.
