Coworkers Photoshopped a sleeping intern into an affectionate meme
Never fall asleep at work, especially if you work at the ad agency iris Worldwide.
Unfortunately for Kory, a paid intern at the company's office in Atlanta, he took a little snooze while on the clock and his coworkers seized the opportunity.

Naturally, his coworkers snapped a picture, and placed him into a variety of hilarious situations, like any good Photoshop battle.
Becca, a copywriter at the company who originally uploaded the pictures to Reddit, said the intern was in on the joke and a good sport about the whole thing.
Becca stressed that Kory is an extremely hard worker; a full-time student who manages a part-time internship. Those who have been there will definitely understand that a snooze is sometimes in order.
"Our Atlanta office especially has an amazing and unique culture that allows us to work incredibly hard, but goof off occasionally too," Becca said in an email to Mashable.
Becca explained that the internship program at the company consists of talented and hardworking people, who the company consider to be part of the family, not just coffee grabbers.
"When you’re part of the family, you’re treated like family, which is why when... Kory succumbed to his mid-afternoon sleepiness Tuesday, the creative team pounced," Becca said.
From snooze, to picture, to Photoshop battle, the whole ordeal only took about ten minutes. Which, apparently is enough for some Photoshop wizards.
"Our team doesn’t typically fall asleep on the job, but our office does have a lot of comfortable seating options and we occasionally play some Enya, so it was bound to happen eventually," said Becca.
Becca says that her favorite part about working at iris "is that we all genuinely like and respect one another, which is why we can Photoshop one of our employees as Voldemort and we all know it is done out of workplace appropriate love."
As for Kory, he said he was "just brainstorming with his eyes closed," which we have to admit, it's a wonderful excuse.
