Today, I had my first day off in weeks. I was excited about getting to sleep in, until my boss called me at 6:30 in the morning to remind me I didn't have to come into work. Thanks. 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, it was the first day of fall break from college, and I was really excited to sleep in and relax the entire weekend. Apparently my boss caught wind of my happiness and scheduled me 8am-2pm each day of break, "seeing how I don't have anything else to do." FML

Today, I finally had a day off in two weeks and I was excited about getting to sleep in. At 5am, my mom came in and knocked loudly. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she was checking to see if I was asleep. FML

Today, I got to sleep in late for the first time in 3 years, as wife took our two young daughters out of town to visit with her parents. I told my mother that I was really looking forward to being able to sleep in this morning. The phone rang at 7:30. It was my mother asking me how I slept. FML

Today, I worked 24 hours straight fixing my company's servers. After it was over, I breathed a huge sigh of relief and promptly fell asleep at my desk. My boss found me an hour later, refused to listen to me, and fired me for sleeping on the job. FML

Look at all the stupid teenagers whining: OMG THATS NOTHING MY JOB IS HARDER/MY DAD IS A CONSTURCTION WORKER/WAH! Well that's what you get for not getting an education, stop ragging on the OP just because he has a good job and you probably will make minimum wage the rest of your lives because you suck.

having a minimum-wage paying job doesn't necessarily mean you're uneducated.

You're right, it doesn't. However its not something to brag about either ... (nor a good reason to put down office workers who are feeling down about some aspect of their job)

I work construction and I would say I'm smart considering I don't have to go to college and pay shit ton of money to go to college and then make prob less than the construction worker with Whittier benefits

I love getting woken up when I want to sleep in. It feels so good to just fall back asleep.

Wow, everyone is really hating on the OP. 3 weeks without a day off really sucks. Think about it, most people get two days off every week!!! I've worked three weeks without a day off before and let me tell you, it sucks!
