Today, as I was helping a customer, she asked if it was my first day and who was training me. Evidently, I'm bad at my job, because I've worked there for 7 months. FML

Today, my mom started her new job; she's now my new coworker. She's already told the other girl I'd said she talks too much, and has berated me for not calling her "mom" while at work. FML

My GF worked at an assisted care facility. A few residents were on the younger side due to illnesses. It's not always obvious who's still working and who needs extra help.
