Today, I found out that my 2 week Christmas vacation my boss was talking about wasn't for this year, but 2010. I spent the day with my husband cancelling flights to Florida, and explaning to my 8 year old why we were not going to Disney World. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, the rearranged meeting, for which I was instructed by my boss to cancel my holiday for, got cancelled. FML
Today, my coworker and I announced that we are spending our holidays together, because we both have kids. My boss then announced that he's coming with us. FML
Today, I found out the time I'd requested off for a trip in 2 months, that my boss said that I could go on, wasn't fully processed, just in case he decided I couldn't go. He told me the second part after I'd bought no refund tickets for shows for both me and my girlfriend. 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, my parents confirmed we were going to be taking a Disney World trip for Christmas vacation. I already knew that we were taking a trip, but I was now missing a week of school. Being in 3 honors and an A.P. class, I said that I didn't want to go. I got called an "ungrateful, little prick". FML
Today, I found out that I have to reschedule my upcoming honeymoon because my office will be understaffed that week, due to the boss going on vacation right after my wedding. Oh, yeah, and he's in my bridal party. FML
Today, I found out that my family has paid for and booked a trip to Dubai without me. They weren't going to tell me until they were about to board but since I was crying that my friend ditched me for my holiday, they thought they would let me know. FML
Today, I was told I would also be covering some of my boss's shifts next week. She gets to go on a vacation to Europe with the bonus we earned her last year. That's why she was tightening our deadlines to the point where some of the employees had to hire babysitters for their children so we could stay at work. FML
Today, while at work, I was asked to see my boss. I was informed that the company would be laying off 20 people, and that I was one of them. I was told I could finish off the week, then was sent back to work. Twenty minutes later, my boss walked around and handed us all Christmas party invitations. FML
Today, while on vacation, I found out that my boyfriend moved out. He had claimed that he couldn't come with me because his boss messed up his time off request, and for the last two days he said he'd been "cleaning". FML

Oh ouch man! What the ****? Seriously, if your boss says you can have a Christmas vacation, you're going to assume he means Christmas THIS year! Ouch...

Don't you have to fill out a request for time off at your job? Even though your boss told you that you'd have two weeks leave did you guys discuss the actual dates you'd have off before you made your plans. Maybe he just said something general like, "The week of Christmas and the week after," but I still would have put in a request before I booked flights and made all of the plans.

I was just coming here to say the same thing. People are so awful during the holiday season (see Christmas tree FML for proof)-- it's why I don't like vacationing in December. Go during September or October* when it's much slower. Sure your child will miss a few days from school, but they're probably not learning much anyway. *September/October are still slow months, right? I haven't been to Disney World in years, so I wouldn't know, haha.

It's going to be hard to explain to your kid that Mommy is an idiot who is sloppy and scatterbrained and lacks attention to detail. Tell him that the same incompetence and ineptitude with birth control brought him into the world!

So why not have your husband take your daughter and maybe have grandma go with also? Why spoil the vacation for your daughter just because you Epic Failed seems kinda cruel. I say YDI for not double and triple checking the dates and FYKL she is going to remember this.

Karma doesnt exist. ****** up shit happens to everyone, not just the ones who do bad things. And, no yu dont deserve this. Your dumb ass boss shouldnt even be speaking about next year's holiday when this year's holiday hasn't come and gone yet. **** box.
