Boromir has an exasperated, weary expression while holding his hand up in a gesturing motion, emphasizing how difficult enjoying Monday work is.

The meme features a real photograph of a young East Asian woman standing in a domestic kitchen, holding a blue mug with a visibly resigned, deadpan, tired expression as if she is unmotivated before starting her work day. Overlaid on the image is bold white text that reads: 'To be yanked out of 13.8 billion years of oblivion to experience 50 years of wage slavery just to return to the void'. The joke uses existential philosophy, referencing the 13.8-billion-year age of the universe to frame human existence as a short, unpleasant interruption of non-existence, spent almost entirely performing labor for pay (wage slavery) before death, presented as a relatable humorous justification for not wanting to go to work, especially on a Monday.

This is a 3-panel relatable meme using footage from the 2004 drama film *Finding Neverland*. The first panel shows a teary, distressed young boy, with overlaid text that reads "THIS WEEK HAS BEEN EXHAUSTING.". The second panel cuts to Johnny Depp as the character J.M. Barrie looking down at the boy, with text reading "IT'S MONDAY.". The third and final panel shows Barrie comforting the crying boy by hugging him as they sit on a public park bench. The meme jokes about the extremely common relatable experience of feeling completely burnt out and exhausted almost immediately after the week starts, on the first work/school day Monday, before the week has even properly begun.

This meme uses an unedited scene from the 2017 science fiction film *Blade Runner 2049*. It shows the protagonist K, played by Ryan Gosling, sitting slumped and dejected on snow-covered stone steps during a heavy snowfall, looking completely physically and emotionally exhausted, defeated, and drained of all energy. The visual is paired with the title to represent the common relatable feeling of deep exhaustion, dread, and low motivation that most people experience when waking up on a Monday morning at the start of a new work or school week.
