Today, I had to slowly explain to my boss that in some parts of the world, it's currently winter, due to the different hemispheres. He scoffed, accused me of "making shit up," and said that if I took him for a fool again, I'd be looking for a new job. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my idiot of a boss yelled at me because it's physically impossible for me to be in two places at the same time, and that I'm not a magician. He didn't understand that. FML
Today, I walked into work, after having given my boss a weather prediction last week, so he could decide on which day to open a new company division. I was immediately taken aside and written up for "providing false information, adversely impacting morale". FML
Today, I'm working in China and I had to explain to my boss that no, it's not okay to not pay me for 3 months. FML
Today, I have the flu, so I called my boss to let him know I couldn't come in today. He told me to think my "lies" through better, and claimed that you can only get the flu during winter. So I guess I'm faking my pale skin, short breath, runny nose, and constant sneezing. FML
Today, I had to explain to my husband that the Earth is not flat. He didn’t believe me. FML
Today, I had to explain to a coworker that even though, yes, I’m Polish and, yes, my family’s from Poland, that, no, we’re not from The North Pole. We’re not from Antarctica either. FML
Today, my boss asked me if I had any special plans for Christmas. After I told him I was planning a trip to Canada, he snapped, "Well, you can forget it. I need you at the office." FML
Today, I've been freezing in my office for days at work. When I finally complained about it to a coworker, she led me into my office, said, "Let me show you something," then pointed out the thermostat I'd never noticed was even there and turned it up with a pitying look. FML
Today, I had to deal with yet another day of people looking at my name tag and saying "You know nothing, John Snow." with a shit-eating grin, like they're the wittiest people alive. Then I had to deal with my boss telling me to lighten up, because it's "just a joke". FML
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. He laughed at me and said, "That's hilarious because I was going to ask you if you could take a pay cut!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

corporate doesn't look for brains they look for people who do as they are told believe what they are told and react as they are told. being a pawn in someone else's chess game makes people complaisant and stupid.

Ik that's true but sometimes when it's a Nice hot day it's kind of hard to believe that like I'm a different part of the world it's winter.

How does a different hemisphere change the seasons...the seasons dont change every day when the earth rotates I thought seasons had to do with how far away the earth was from the sun not which side of the earth is facing the sun...I mean yes some places because of their location on the earth will vary by a couple months but it just don't make sense

There's enough of an axial tilt that in regards to temperature shifts and precipitation satatistics it is winter. Look at australia this time of year. It's colder and there's more rain. And I don't just mean a few days. It's months of this.

Wait Wait Wait.. I wanna get this straight.. you are saying that in some places July is the Winter? and January is the Summer? Please do explain.

It's because the orbit is on very very slightly elliptical. However, the earth's axis is tilted, meaning that one hemisphere will be closer to the sun than the other at all times.
