Answers

1. A whopping 96 times! That's once every 5 minutes in an 8-hour workday. No wonder your inbox feels like a clingy ex!
2. 30%! The other 70% are probably just better at hiding it. Pro tip: Keep a mirror on your desk to check for keyboard imprints on your forehead.
3. Pens! They're the office equivalent of socks in a laundry machine. Some say there's a secret pen dimension accessible only through the bottom drawer of filing cabinets.
4. 4 hours! That's half a workday spent trying to look interested while secretly playing Bingo with overused corporate jargon.
5. 38%! The other 62% are probably too busy coming up with their next fake excuse to answer the survey.
6. 3-4 times. But let's be honest, half of those trips are just to escape that one coworker who won't stop talking about their cat's Instagram account.
7. 1967! It was supposed to promote productivity, not slowly crush our souls. Thanks a lot, Robert Propst!
8. 62%! The other 38% are either out networking or stuck in yet another meeting that could've been an email.
9. About 41 calories. So if you type non-stop for 85 hours, you might burn off that slice of birthday cake from the office party!
10. 3 sessions per week. But if you're the office gossip, you probably think this number is rookies.

Remember, Cubicle Comrades, knowledge is power... and a great way to impress your coworkers at the next virtual happy hour!
