Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
11 months of waiting, and now THIS!?

Today, it's only day three of my annual vacation. Rest and relaxation? Afraid not! For the past days, I've been haunted by the constant thought of how much work will be piled up when I get back. FML

Today, after 3 weeks of my new job, I'm already having work-related dreams. I'm having troubles differentiating between the 8 hour shifts in real life and the 8 hour shifts in my dream. I'm doubly exhausted. FML

Spooky season
Today, I took a nap before work. I had a harrowing nightmare in which I was chased by a murderer and the ghosts of his victims at my job. I then woke up to go to work, where I work the night shift, completely alone. FML

Today, I returned to work after a much-needed vacation. I got a lot of weird stares from my co-workers, and my boss eventually came over and told me to go home. Why? My work week starts tomorrow, not today. FML

Chronic
Today, after years of being unable to work because of chronic illness, I finished my second week of a new job. I'm so utterly and completely wiped out, I don't know if I can continue. FML

I don't want to do this anymore…
Today, I was in charge of my team at work but I asked for a demotion, because I was so stressed that I started having nightmares. I feel like everyone freaked out after quarantine. FML

Let me sleep!
Today, I'm freshly unemployed and so exhausted from my former job that I can actually really use the rest. Too bad that, for reasons ranging from cat noises to period emergencies, I have woken up at 6 a.m. for 4 days in a row now. FML

Today, after working 12 shifts in the past 8 days at 2 jobs and thinking today was a day off, I got the call that I misread my schedule and I was in fact scheduled. Got off at 2:30 am, work again at 9 am with 9 shifts to go this week. FML

Stress level: 2020
Today, after pushing myself really hard all week to find a new job, I was looking forward to having a nice relaxing weekend with my family. Nope, I got a migraine and can barely function, but also can't sleep. FML

if you have a job that is so bad you have nightmares might be time to look for something alittle less stressful

yeah, Im also curious as to the kind of work you have to cause such dreams. I'm in the navy so every once in a while I have a titanic type dream, not cool.

I know how you feel. I've had nightmares about school every night of my winter break thus far. They're usually about not having my homework, failing a test, having one of my classes drop to a B or a C, etc. One of them was particularly strange; I somehow went to the wrong classroom for Geometry. There are only two 8th grade Geometry classes at my school; one of them has 19 kids and the other (the one I'm in) has around 50, and they're hours apart (as well as one being in the bungalows near the Horticulture area and the other being in the 7th Grade House).

You must work with me..... I've been working for the same company for 15 years. I transferred to "enhance my career opportunities" and have in turn ruined my career and am now on anti-depressants and am a out to enter a legal battle with my boss that could last for years....
