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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. 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 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, 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
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, I took my printer to work because the one in my office is broken. When I tried to leave, my boss stopped me and accused me of stealing it from the office. Nobody would believe me when I explained. Now my boss has a new printer. FML
Today, I arrived at work six minutes late due to heavily congested traffic. This is just two days after my boss put out a memo saying that anyone who's late to work from then until the new year will have their holiday bonus pay forfeited. FML
Today, I was put on notice at work due to my "anger problem." Apparently, sighing in a meeting means you'll be labeled as someone with a short temper. However, the creepy stalker guy is on the fast track to management. FML
Today, due to "severe cuts to the budget" at work, I had to stir my coffee with a paperclip. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It'll be even more inconvenient when you waste away and they have to do your job anyway.

You definitely deserved it! Who the **** takes lunch breaks? That's way to mainstream.

Guys that was sarcasm. It's one of those young hip things the kids are all into these days.

I don't know which of the above 3 comments you were referring to @42, but I double-checked and all the 'to's' were correctly used.

I would gladly help you out, OP. That job sounds like a breeze.

Op may have more jobs than just answering the phone. She may be a secretary or administrator and have a lot of other jobs, but is usually the only one answering phones. Doesn't necessarily mean the job is easy.
iAlissa 34
Well, you can't answer phones when you're hangry. What worthless coworkers you have.

Hungry...
jeepers_1 21
Hungry + angry =hangry. Quite simple really.
sstahpp 33
Yeah...there's no such thing...
iAlissa 34
No. Hangry is a thing. Right now even, I am hangry. Could use a bagel actually.

It's a reference from a silly little self-aware dub to a silly little anime called Buddyfight

Could please sstahpp being an annoying turd? There's this thing called "slang", which includes words that may not be real words. It's been around for quite some time, centuries and centuries. A lot of mainstream words started out as slant. Maybe you should get a better grasp on the English language and enjoy all the intracacies of it. I'm pretty sure 'stahp' isn't a word, yet you're so fond of it as to use it as your username.
sstahpp 33
Damn. You need to stock up on some prozac.
JustinJK 21
Says the ugly little emo girl who has to troll the Internet to make herself feel better. You should just stick to cutting.

Where do I apply?????
immaloser95 28
Seriously? I feel like too many people insist on applying for the easiest (and laziest) jobs they can find.

It's not as easy as you make it sound to quit, especially if you need the money and you don't have an other job lined up

If I were you, I'd call in to work the next day. Then again, with you not there, there may not be anyone to answer your call.
