Today, I wasn't allowed to work from home, despite being ill enough to just take the day off anyway, all so there could be "someone to answer the phone." The phone didn't ring once all day. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was told it was inconvenient for me to take lunch breaks, because someone else has to answer the phones and no one else wants to actually do any work. FML
Today, while battling a severe flu, I was forced to come to work by my manager. Upon arrival, I discovered that a colleague he likes who should be covering for me is out today. The reason? Her shoes hurt. FML
Today, my family went on vacation. I had to stay home to take care of everyone's animals. I called my mom, who said she was too busy to talk to me. When my sister asked her who was on the phone, she replied, "The dog sitter." FML
Today, I finally started my job as an in-home caregiver. The man I was hired to care for died two hours after I made it to his house. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house waiting to surprise him when he got home from work. I was laying in his bed when he called to tell me we were over. I couldn't leave before he got home. FML
Today, my boss made me work a longer shift than usual. Not because he needed me in, but just so I'd finish at the same time as his brat of a son, and give him a lift home. FML
Today, I faked a sore throat for the school nurse so I could go home early. It took my dad the rest of the school day just to get there to pick me up. FML
Today, anticipating another stressful day of work, I left my house with a cluster of thoughts in my mind. It was only when I heard my front door lock behind me, my hand still resting on the handle, that I realised I had forgotten my house keys. FML
Today, my boss sent me a message about a project, via WhatsApp. It's my day off, so I figured it could wait till I was able to give a flying fuck. Literally a minute later, he was spamming me, demanding to know why I'd left him as read and reminding me that he has firing powers. FML
Today, my company was having a huge party so I went to work dressed in my best outfit. During lunch break, my boss said to me, "You really missed out on something yesterday, it was great fun!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't worry, you'll soon have all the time off you want when your singularly shitty company goes broke and shuts down. No calls -> no customers No customers -> no raison d'être

I'm with No_habla_espanol, if you don't want to read someone's complaints than you really shouldn't be coming to a site called FMyLife. The entire basis for the site is people complaining about something in their lives.

Thank you giggle! I can't stand when people say "I see what you did there". It makes them look so dumb. WE ALL SAW WHAT HE DID THERE!!! For you to say that, you have to be extremely dumb or under the age of 13.

Shut up with your pointless negativity. People come here to complain obviously - hence the name of the site "fmylife"

It is when you consider that s/he could have been at home sleeping to help themselves get better. I know when I'm really sick that I get really tired and having to force myself to stay awake all day at work would not only suck, but cause me to leave sicker than I was before I came in.

so you got paid to rest while you are sick... i dont get the fml. i guess you werent that sick if you still had the energy to get to work

Yeah, because being sick means you're confined to your bed.

How much energy does it really take to get to and from work if you drive an automatic car? I mean there is a bit of mental focus needed but it's really not that draining to sit in your vehicle, drive to work, park, get out, go into work, and sit at desk. These are all things that could still be accomplished if you were vomiting every twenty minutes and running a fever of 101F. It wouldn't be fun, but it could still be done.

I agree it can be mentally exhausting, but I don't see how driving (regardless of where you live) can be physically exhausting. I have never strained myself physically while driving, and I drive a manual.
