Today, I really didn't want to go to work. Still, I showed up for work early on the busiest night of the week and stayed back until past 10 p.m. Exhausted, I went to sign off the roster when I realised that, in fact, I was not rostered on for today at all. I'm on tomorrow, though. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I woke up at 2 a.m. and stayed up the rest of the night. I had to go to work from 3 to 11 and I ended up getting my coworker to leave early. As I was getting ready to leave, I found out that I wasn't scheduled today and that I now have to work this Saturday. FML
Today, after working all day and putting in hours of overtime, I realized I never clocked in. 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
Today, I was sick, so I went into work to see if I could get my shift covered, instead of just calling in. I ended up working an extra hour. 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, I was told not to show up for work, after I showed up for work. FML
Today, I showed up to work at 6am, only to find out the schedule was changed. I wasn't actually supposed to be there until 9:15. My boss never told me this. I didn't get to go home either, he just said, "Oh well. Get to work." FML
Today, I got roped into work on my day off because the two new guys weren't showing up. My boss promised that I would get tomorrow off if I did, so I said okay. However, as soon as I came in and got all ready to go, guess who came in? 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 got called into work on my day off. I ended up being written up for being 15 minutes late to a shift I didn't even have. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

And no one said anything? I hope it's just because the place busy and no one realised, not that anyone was taking advantage of you.

If you have to sign off, I'm assuming you had to sign on to begin your day.. You didn't notice then that you were not rostered for the day?

Rule #1 always check your Schedule. Specially knowing your schedule changes often as it sound.

The world sincerely needs to up the humanity quotient. Sorry for your situation OP. Hope you informed your superiors later on.

wow! I've fumbled a few times like that. or I've not clocked in for the 13hr shift and found out at the end when I tried to leave. you need more sleep lol

LOL! You poor dear. I have done similar things in the past, woke up groggy, forgot I was off, volunteered to go in anyway due to need at work. Others, scheduled for 1/2 day, forgot, worked full day and did not realize till I got off. No problems. Still paid. They needed me and would have had to re-arrange patient load had I left, which is a pain in the rump, so no worries :)
