Today, I had my first day off in weeks. I was excited about getting to sleep in, until my boss called me at 6:30 in the morning to remind me I didn't have to come into work. Thanks. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my first day off in 3 weeks just so I can sleep in. The office secretary woke me up at 7.12 am with a page wishing me a nice day off. FML
Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML
Today, it was the first day of fall break from college, and I was really excited to sleep in and relax the entire weekend. Apparently my boss caught wind of my happiness and scheduled me 8am-2pm each day of break, "seeing how I don't have anything else to do." FML
Today, I wasn't sure if I would have to go to work. My mom told me the night before that she would wake me up if I had to. I woke up, and seeing that it was past the time I normally go to work, I happily assumed I got called off. That is, until I got a phone call from my boss asking me why I wasn't there yet. FML
Today, I had three days off work. My mom woke me up for work on all three of those days, despite my repeatedly asking her not to. When I actually had to go to work this morning, she didn't wake me up. At least I wasn't late. FML
Today, I was excited to finally take a day off work and relax at home. However, as soon as I was on the couch to Netflix and chill with my cat, I got a call from my boss saying I was needed at the office to fix a major issue. I ended up spending the entire day at work and didn't get to enjoy my "day off." FML
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, I was woken up from a phone call from my boss. He asked if I had been asleep. I told him I wasn't, that I was in my car on the way to work. Then my alarm went off. FML
Today, after having been off due to the holidays, I awoke to several missed calls and texts from my supervisor asking where I was. Fearing losing my job, I drove the entire 2-hour commute thinking I’d missed a day. I hadn't; he was just trying to get my weekly reports early. FML
Today, I worked 24 hours straight fixing my company's servers. After it was over, I breathed a huge sigh of relief and promptly fell asleep at my desk. My boss found me an hour later, refused to listen to me, and fired me for sleeping on the job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

My employees will call me at 3am on my day off to ask stupid questions, if it makes you feel better.

GO. BACK. TO. SLEEP. Your boss didn't do anything wrong except remind you. You still have the day off.

You do know that some people can't go back to sleep after they've been woken up right?

He could still relax; it's not like the boss took his day off away from him. His whole day isn't ruined.
Starchild21 3
It can be ruined. If it was an abrupt awakening I doubt he'll feel good through the rest of the day. I'm just talking out of my experience however

That's why I put my phone on silent before going to bed. Oh...what's that?...I missed your call?...**** YOU I WAS SLEEPING!

http://www.fmylife.com/comment/rules gives me a "Page not found" error with a picture of a cat pushing a watermelon. What are the real rules for commenting on FML? I see people getting away with "first" messages all the time, so I thought it's a meme here.

The person is not complaining but it's totally acceptable. Why the hell would they call at 3 am? e__e; And to ask stupid questions... I can picture it.

For some people its not that easy. I know that if I get up for any reason, I'm up and nothing will change that

MAYBE IT IS A LANDLINE to all of the people who think this guy deserves it for not turning his phone on silent or off.For the love of god!I don't turn my home phone on silent every day I have a day off!!Do you? ============================== Actually, yeah I do - all the time. That's why my home landline has voice mail. If I don't want to be disturbed, all phones off. Why is that a) such a hard concept to grasp? b) so difficult for people to actually do?

#4 I could no problem. On school holidays I would get my Mum to wake me up early just so I could have the pleasure in going back to sleep! I loved it.

That's why phones can be turned off. If you expect to sleep in but leave your phone on and nearby, you deserve it.

Umm not all phones can be turned off.Did you ever think it could be a landline?I can't turn my own home phone off.Why would he have thought of that anyway? I really don't get why people always have to think of random reasons to click YDI.

But they can be disconnected from the wall. If I had my first day off in weeks, I would be making darn sure no one could get through to tell me "oh, so and so called in sick, you have to come in after all." ;)

My mother used to do that to me on weekends when I was in college. She would call around 7am. I couldnt fall back to sleep. I would never unplug the phone because what if it was an important call. Like if someone died, or got into an accident.

WTF? Before you try to use some stupid attempt at logic like "what if someone died or got in a car accident?" please consider: 1. How many times were you trying to sleep in and someone called you? and 2. How many of those calls were to notify you of a death or accident? and 3. What the **** could you have done to prevent the accident or death by getting up at that time anyway? When you really think about it, you'll see how stupid your reasoning is. If you want to sleep in, but you leave your phone on within close proximity "in case there's a death or accident", then you deserve to be roused from your sleep by any stupid call. It's the price you pay for taking the chance on that "death or accident" call. And if it's a landline, and you don't want it to ring: either turn off the ringer, or unplug the cord. File this advice under "D" for DUH.

Like if someone died, or got into an accident. ========================================================== Mine did that too...until I started turning off the ringer and letting the machine pick up. I realized if someone's in the hospital, there's nothing I can do that I couldn't do better if rested, especially since I"m not a doctor. And if somene's dead, they'll still be dead when I wake up.

So when you quit, get laid off or fired from this job, do you think your boss will call you every day at 6:30 to tell you that you don't have to come in?
