Today is an incredibly fun day to be a work! Today is National Have Fun At Work day! They say it is not where you work but who you work with, and I am a big believer of that. Did you know that the average person spends 1/3 of their life at work?

That breaks down to nearly 90,000 hours we spend clocking in and out at our place of employment. Of course that depends on your job, industry, and personal priorities. Having a work life and personal life balance is super hard for a lot of us. So, if you are going to be a work a good chunk of your life you might as well enjoy the heck out of it!

Did you know that studies have shown that a person's perception of time changes when they are having fun? According to studies, having a bunch of fun can help pass the time faster!

Here are some ideas on what you can do to make work fun on Fun at Work Day or any other day:

* Bake goodies and bring them for your work pals! Who doesn't love a sweet treat to pass the time.

*Play harmless pranks on your coworkers. Key word HARMLESS.

*Watch a work-related movie like Office Space or a few episodes of The Office at work. Let's face it pretty much everyone loves the Office and can relate to it in one way or another.

* With the consent of your supervisor, play board games or cards at work. Maybe not things like Cards Against Humanity that one may be too far as far as HR is concerned. Fun but not a work friendly game. Go with a safe choice like the Classic game of UNO.

No matter what you do to celebrate Have Fun At Work Day make sure you have a ball and enjoy some giggles with your co-workers. Most importantly if you are lucky enough to be employed have some FUN!
