Today, I went to the school I work at, to set up my new classroom. I'm 5'1" and I was carrying a backpack full of fun educational posters. I also have a new boss. When we met for the first time he was yelling at me because "there were no students allowed in here yet." FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I started my first teaching job ever. As I was teaching, another teacher interrupted my class about 5 times because she thought it was her class. Not only did she ruin my confidence, her behavior caused my students to laugh at me. FML

Storage wars

By ADayAtATime - 20/04/2024 06:00 - Australia - Wacol

Today, I brought my daughter to work with me. When we walked in, a client was blowing up at my boss, all because as my boss was walking past his storage unit, he glanced in and was about to compliment how neat it was. After my boss left, I had to deal with the aftermath, which left my daughter terrified of this man. FML

Wrong target

Today, I was hitting on a girl who was getting ready to walk into the same class as me. We were waiting outside the room, so I told her that I'd heard the professor for the course was a total bitch. We walked into the room. I sat down at a desk. She stood behind the podium. FML

Today, I started at a new school. It's a pretty great school, but there's only one problem: Everybody thinks I'm a teacher. I'm only a freshman. FML

Where am I?

By Morgan Jones - 18/06/2019 20:08

Today, I went to work at my new job, where I thought it would be super easy because I shop there all the time, and already know where everything is. Turns out, they're remodelling the store, so I don't know where anything is anymore, and the bosses get mad at me for being too slow. FML

Today, I came to school late because I had to drop off my daughter at school. When I got on campus, the security told me I was late but I said, "Oh no, I work here." and he said, "Oh like I haven't heard that one before." And he took me to detention. My boss, the Principal, had to bail me out. FML

Don't worry about what the boss thinks of you - worry about what the students will think of you.

should be you boss's POV. "Today, It was the first day of school. I am the new principal so I don't know anyone. I saw a student walking down the halls before the school opened. I caught up with them and started yelling. It wasn't a student, but a teacher who just happens to be 5'1" and was carrying a backpack. FML" yea, thats ok though. i have a friend who is 5'0" and will not grow anymore, but she is still awsome. On the other hand, i have a freind who is 5'9" and is hitting yet another growth spurt, shes 13.

It's okay. I'm 5'2 and I'm student teaching at a middle school starting in January. I've seen these kids and most of them are taller than me.

I'm 5' and people never mistake me for a kid unless you count having to show my ID at places to show that I'm 18 which isn't that bad since I'm only 19
