Today, I found out that I'm working on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. I'm spending my favourite time of the year working for $8.70 an hour. At McDonald's. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, I showed up for my first shift in my new night job; I now work at an apartment complex during the day and at a gas station at night. It turns out that our biggest problem tenant in the former happens to be my boss in the latter. FML
Today, I received an email from a temp agency trying to hire me. Surprisingly, it was the same job I was just laid off from after two years of great employment. They were trying to hire me at half my original salary. FML
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. Turns out they are firing 35 people. I wasn't on the list until I asked for a raise. FML
Today, after getting my dream job and quitting my old one, I was told my position is strictly "experimental" and will only last 2 months. FML
Today, due to "severe cuts to the budget" at work, I had to stir my coffee with a paperclip. 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, 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?

There is a such thing as seniority! Even if he did request off he might not have still gotten it because of people who were there longer than OP. Their requests would be honored first. And to the person that said reschedule your dinner, you can't reschedule Christmas!! OP, two choices: suck it up and go for your crap check or don't go and prepare to look for another job!

Try working 24+ hours on an ems rig. Stupidity and death don't take holidays. Put your big kid undies on and stop whining!

These days I'll be working for free, studying for my medicine exams. Don't complain, that could be worse and you chose it.

My comment would be monitored. Suck it up la la. Welcome to the real world. I bet you would love to go back to school now. Just be thankful you are not providing for a family on that wage! I know people that do,and every day they push to better themselves. Hang in there!
