Today, I walked into work, and the first question my boss asks me is "Are those your pajamas?" I was wearing my favorite outfit. FML

Today, I was in a hurry to get to work and I put on yesterday's jeans. While at my meeting an employee asked me if 'that' was mine and pointed to something on the floor next to me. Which was yesterday's underwear. FML

The old switcheroo

Today, I had a job interview. I didn't have any clothes suitable for the interview, so I went to the store early and bought some there. After the interview, I went to return the clothes, because they were so expensive. The hiring manager saw me. FML

Today, I accidentally left the tag on the new pants that I wore to work. Nobody had brought it to my attention for the whole day until finally, before I was about to go home, every single employee and my boss let me know by yelling in unison and laughing as I left the building. FML

Today, I went to my retail job to buy some clothing. As soon as I walked through the doors, my manager yelled at me for not being in appropriate work clothes. I tried to explain that I was off the clock but he was having none of it. I got written up. FML

Today, at work, our new cute intern asked me if I could explain my work. Taking a cool posture sitting on her desk I explained. After 10 minutes I walked away, only to hear her laughing with the girl next to her. Turns out my fly was open. And I didn't wear underwear. FML

Today, when I arrived at work, I was greeted by my gorgeous coworker telling me my red shirt looked awesome on me. Before I could compliment her, she added that the color was fitting perfectly with my acne. I heard a couple of giggles around me. FML

This is only cool if you go into work dressed in a Max suit from Where The Wild Things Are, complete with pimp staff and crown.

I saw the movie on Friday night. LOVE LOVE LOVED IT. Spike Jonze deserves some awards for that. It's so amazing how he was able to expand so much on such a short story. I still laugh thinking of the stick as Douglas' arm after Carol tore it off. And the ending with the howling as he's sailing away absolutely tore me up inside. The soundtrack provided by Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs adds so much to it as well. :]

Considering that the OP sleeps naked, I can see the boss's concern. :)

I see what you did there. "I was wearing my favourite outfit". Geeze, I like my body too but there's no need to brag about it

Hehe, my favorite outfit is nude too, so I can relate. :D

The giant tattoo that said "Grade A Meat" might have been the problem. Gentleman's Not So Gentle Brothel clearly states no one can label themselves as meat.

Can we label ourselves as fish instead? Or eggs?

Today, I brought my daughter to work with me. When we walked in, a client was blowing up at my boss, all because as my boss was walking past his storage unit, he glanced in and was about to compliment how neat it was. After my boss left, I had to deal with the aftermath, which left my daughter terrified of this man. FML
