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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I excitedly got ready for my first day at my new job. I arrived on time, dressed up, only to find out they meant next Monday, not today. My new boss just gave me a weird look and said, "See you next week?" FML
Today, I was looking forward to languishing on the beach for a few days of a “much needed vacation” when I literally got called back into work on my way to the beach. FML
Today, after a two week holiday, I'm returning to work exhausted. I had nightmares about work every single night. FML
Today, I dragged myself to work, suffering from a bad cold. My boss quietly told me to go home and rest, to avoid spreading it around the office. I thought it odd since he dislikes me so much, but I did as he said. He called later in the day to suspend me for leaving work early. FML
Today, despite having my 5-day-leave approved 2 months ago, my boss demanded I return to work in the middle of it. Why? She wants to go on a vacation and no one else is available at such short notice. FML
Today, I was told not to show up for work, after I showed up for work. FML
Today, my boss phoned me and asked me why I wasn't at work. I was in the staff room. I'd said hello to her as I came in the door. FML
Today, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." FML
Today, I went into work for the first time without make-up. My boss thought I looked so tired and ill that he sent me home. FML
Today, I returned home from a three-week vacation. None of my friends realized I'd been gone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Best feeling ever: getting to leave early from work, even if it was your day off.

But how is that a bad thing? That's a free day. Now you have a choice what to do with the rest of your day. Meh going back to sleep wouldn't be on my list.

How is it a bad thing, hmm, let me see... She gets up (probably pretty early) gets ready for work, goes to work, gets a load of "WTF" stares, gets weirded out by said stares, then does a bunch of work for who knows how long before being embarrassed and told to leave by her boss. I'd say that's just a liiiittttllleeee shitty, even if she does have the rest of the day to herself.

I'd say it was a bit embarrassing, but it could have been worse. My thought before I finished reading the FML was that the OP had been sacked whilst on holiday and the "WTF" stares were because of that. Unless of course, the OP worked until 4:00pm and was told to go home then. That would be an FML.

I'm not disputing that it could've been worse or that it's not the end of the world, but the same can be said for any FML. It's funny. Damn. What happened to enjoying these shitty happenings instead of being annoying and lecturing the OP? Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine.

Sorry, I guess I'm just a more positive person. Finding out I have an "extra vacation day", especially when it was well needed would personally make me happy.

Yeah fair play. It is a humour site after all! :)

Okay, people, I will do you all a favor and save you the trouble of asking the same damn questions over and over again. OP says "FML". Why? Maaaaybe it's because OP had to go all the way to work in order to find out? Or maybe OP had already had enough vacation time and was ready to go back to work? Or maybe OP felt embarrassed? Or maybe they took hours to tell her she could go home? Come on people, use your imagination.

It's always nice to see somebody who understands what the site is all about.

Edit: Ignore this comment, I though you were a blue star. Hey OP, I have a question. Why would you get weird stares from your coworkers just b.c you came back a day early? If it were my work place they would assume I was back early, and welcome me back. They wouldn't just cat stare at me the entire time, you know the one, until my boss told me to leave. It all just seems a little shady to me.

So it sounds a little shady because YOUR coworkers wouldn't do that? Yeah... makes sense.
