The dog shaking over a beeping smoke detector has been going around all week, and I relate to it on a cellular level because one chirp at 3am turns me into that exact dog. It is Friday, which helps a little. These morning memes show up fresh every single morning, and the last batch is still there if you slept through it. Grab your coffee and start scrolling.

Morning memes for the last Friday of September

I pressed the test button on my own smoke detector last night and it has been chirping at me out of spite ever since, so that is my weekend now. The Nightcap brings another round tonight, and a new set of daily memes lands here tomorrow morning. If your inbox is also eating meeting invites, our Friday work memes and white collar memes will make you feel deeply seen. Send this to one coworker who needs it, ideally while you are both on mute.
