Unless you work at a funeral home, I really don't see anything wrong with being happy

That's considered creepy strange behavior at the funeral home. Or the DMV for that matter...

I "agreed, your life sucks" Your fml now reads "according to your boss it freaks people out" and underneath that in gray its says "It definitely does" ...I thought it was funny...

Sue him, and ask your former coworkers if they r really freaked out by you being awake and alert, my guess is that they're not and your boss is just a tool.

if you are TOO happy, it does freak some people out. They tend to think you do drugs too. I work with someone like that.

A lot of places could need -and would love having- happy and perky workers. Try working at one of them. If you can find one.

I guess this would only be a problem if you worked in a funeral directory :/
