Today, after waking up in a panic since I slept through my alarm, I hurriedly got ready and started speeding to work. On the way, I texted my boss to apologize for running late. His response? "It's Saturday." FML

Today, when I got to work, I found out that I was being laid off. Two hours later, I found out my boss had my name on the wrong list. I was elated. I went to lunch, but on the way back was rear-ended, in the rain. I was an hour and a half late getting back to work. I was fired upon returning. FML

Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML

Today, I was running late for work. I was trying to find my car keys, then realized I'd left them in my boyfriend's car. My phone charger was locked in my car, and my phone was dead. I couldn’t get hold of my boss and explain what had happened. I’m fired, aren’t I? FML

Today, after being a few minutes late to work a few times this week, I left the house super early this morning. When I got to work, security hadn’t unlocked the doors yet, so I waited in my car, where I ended up falling asleep and sleeping through most of my entire morning shift. FML

Today, I arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML

I'd suggest getting a roommate that's a light sleeper- my boyfriend often sleeps through his alarm except the nights that I stay over because I'm a ligt sleeper and refuse to lay there listening to his alarm till he hears it 5 mins later :P I will nudge him and that usually wakes him up.

Get an alarm clock. If you already have one, get another one and put it on the other side of the room so you can't snooze it from your bed.

Maybe you should try going to bed earlier so that you'll wake up earlier. There's no excuse for waking up late for work all the time. No sympathy, you deserve it.

Depressed or need help developing a good sleep pattern? Same time to bed each night no matter what, same time up no matter what & get up if you're in bed without sleeping for more than 20 mins. Takes a while but it works.
