Today, I was the DJ for a company party that was supposed to end at 11 p.m. The company ended up wanting music late and my boss made me stay there until they got tired, which ended up being 3 a.m. I start work at my other job at 7 a.m. FML

Management mix up

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, at work, I was supposed to have an easy two-hour shift, after which I was planning on attending a party that had been arranged to celebrate my graduation. Nearly six hours later, I am just getting home after being super busy and shorthanded at work for hours. I missed my own party. FML

Today, 30 minutes before I was supposed to quit work at 6pm, my boss showed up. After telling him how the day went, he asked why I was still there. Apparently, for the holiday, we close early. 4 hours earlier. FML

Exploitation

Today, my boss sprang a company workshop on us that I was not informed of, which kept me at work until 10 PM. He expected us all back at 8 AM the next day to continue. On a good day it takes me 3 hours to commute. I got written up for being 10 minutes late to the workshop, after getting up at 4 AM to get there. FML

Today, I had to wake up at 4am because my boss set an important business meeting for first thing in the morning. After making sure everything was ready, I went to work. My boss ended up oversleeping and moved the meeting to tomorrow. FML

Today, my neighbours had an extremely loud party, which began at midnight and didn't end until 6. I know this because I had a 15 minute sleep, seeing as I had to wake up at quarter past. 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 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

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

Is your boss aware that you work two jobs? If so, that's a bit of an arsehole move from him. I recommend coffee, lots of coffee as well as red bull.

Did you ever consider that you weren't hired to play music and only got the job because of your D-cups and Junior-size underwear? I hear that's how they name things now…

Second jobs can be a touchy subject for some bosses. I wouldn't be surprised if OP didn't say anything about the other job

You're a DJ, so I'm sure you can find inspiration in music. Maybe "Wake Me Up" by Avicii, or "Hawaii (Stay Awake)" by Waterparks.

Sadly staying up late is a regular occurrence in a college kids life.. Poor you OP I know how you feel

And never sleeping is a regular occurrence in a new parents life. But, those are all things we choose to do. OP had no choice in this matter if they wanted to get paid. Pretty sure their situation is worse.

But 1) not getting up early and 2) sitting in a class is not as demanding as the average job

12: You're really comparing a 9 hour time gap to a 4 hour one? That gives you enough time to sleep, eat, change, etc in between compared to the OP.

Not everyone can do that. I was never able to work 2 jobs because of how my body hates me. Sleep disorders suck, really. Just because someone can't do what you do, doesn't mean you should belittle them. Maybe you should learn that aspect of being a man.
