This ain't no fairy tale, folks. Shrek's stuck in a soul-crushing job at the swamp corp. His boss, Lord Farquaad, is a tyrannical ogre who demands he rake leaves, churn potions, and do backbreaking work for minimum wage. Shrek's dreaming of escape, but with mandatory overtime and zero benefits, it seems like a lifetime away.

• He tried to slack off, but Farquaad just threatened him with swamp duty for life!
• Don't even get me started on the toxic neighbors. They're all jealous of Shrek's swamp and constantly complain his mud.
• Honestly, who would volunteer to work at a place like this?

But hey, at least he has Donkey for company. At least there's the only bright side.

This ol' burro is fed up of the 9-to-5 grind. He's been struggling his tail off for years, jumping the ladder only to find himself stuck in a dead-end job. He's hoping of a life where he can kick back. Maybe some hay. Maybe even a some good apple snacks.

• She's had enough of brainstorming sessions.
• Never again water troughs interrupted by emails.
• She wants freedom!

This Shrek Meme Perfectly Summarizes My Work Week

Like, seriously. My morning/day/week started out bright/smooth/okay. You know, I was feeling/thinking/hoping it would be a good/productive/calm one. But then the boss/projects/emails came rolling in like that green ogre/nasty swamp monster/terrible troll, and suddenly my day was a mess/downhill/in the toilet.

• Barely keeping it together.
• Perhaps a miracle will happen before the end/afternoon/evening arrives.

At least I have this meme to relate to.

Shrek 2: The Board Meeting of Dreams...or Nightmares?

Deep in the heart throughout Far Far Away's grand castle, a momentous convocation was imminently underway. The elite council of notables, adorned in their finest robes, gazed the room with a dash of anticipation.

The agenda? To contemplate Shrek and Fiona's unexpected marriage. Prince Charming, scheming, sat fidgeting adjacent to the throne, his eyes fixed on the entrance. Fairy Godmother, her demeanor both ominous, leaned in at the king, whispering plots into his ear.

The fate of Shrek and Fiona's dreamy future hung in the ether. Would this assembly be a triumph, or would it erupt into madness? The boardroom held its breath.

Shrek 3: Donkey Goes Full-Time, Shrek Stays Swamped

Donkey's need for a big career takes him to new heights in Shrek 3. He's become such a famous guy that even the king himself requires his assistance. Meanwhile, our cherished ogre is still stuck in his rural abode, trying to find some tranquility.

Shrek's routine isn't exactly serene though. He's got a whole load of problems on his plate, starting with the arrival of Prince Charming who thinks he is entitled to Fiona's love.

Shrek's going to have to learn how to deal with all this chaos and maybe even realize his own direction.
