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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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

FYL. Both my mother and I have trouble sleeping sometimes, and anything that wakes us up can end up keeping us awake for hours. I'm always pissed off when the phone rings, or there's work going on outside, neighbors are noisy, and that doesn't help me get to sleep either. A lot of the commenters here are such whiny bitches. If none of the FML's are really FML's and if the site really sucks that much than don't come on here anymore. Half of you only comment to say "that's not an FML," and that's all you ever say. You are now officially trolls. And for those of you saying to turn your home phone off that's a bad idea. Turn your cell phones off, but you should always have your regular phone on in case of emergencies.

Sorry, but I have to back up the minority of the responses with: Just wait a moment. He may view you as a very good employee, and wants you to remember that you have that day off. He might have been worried you had forgotten since, as you said, you haven't gotten a day off in a long time. He's trying to be nice, but did it at an inopportune moment. You still had the day off, anyway.
