Today, I woke up with a skull-splitting headache. I braved the wind and freezing temperatures to get to work. Today is also the day my boss thought it would be cute to let the elementary school band play at our office. FML

Today, I came home from work early due to a massive headache. A half hour later, the jackhammering started. FML

Today, I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. As my boss is an asshat who hates allowing sick leave, I thought I could power through it, but halfway through my workday I sneezed so hard that I threw my back out. I had to go home early and now I can't move without pain. FML

Today, I came to work with a huge hangover after a night out. I work as a marching band director, and guess who I had to conduct a sectional with? That's right, percussion. My head still hasn't stopped throbbing. FML

Today, I had a nasty headache so I tried to take a nap. Unfortunately, my college had a homecoming parade a block away from where I live. I never knew our marching band sounded that awful. FML

Today, my boss forced me to come into work despite having a bad cold. While waiting a table, I violently sneezed and sprayed a child's face with snot. His dad got so pissed that my boss had to pretend to fire me just to calm him down. FML

Today, I have a cold, and was stuck sleeping in bed. My roommate decided to wake me up by sticking headphones in my ears and playing heavy metal on full volume. This is the third time this week. FML

Today, I forgot my headphones at home. When I got to work I found out that today was also the day the band next door had decided to practice their only song for 8 hours. FML

Make it stop

Today, I woke up with a splitting headache. Then someone at work wouldn't stop whistling loudly and it was getting on my nerves. "Can the dick who is whistling please stop?" I asked. It was the general manager of my department. I'm still on probation. FML

They're usually terrible concerts, but hey- A+ for effort. And OP- that sounds like hell to go through.

Naproxen and caffeine, my friend. If that doesn't touch it, and you don't have codeine or something else of that strength, then I know that hell. Cluster headaches. For two years they woke me up every night at 3am with agony that lasted about an hour. I'm talking ice pick being driven through my eyeball pain. Doc finally said ( after I go to the third one) a week of steroids to break the cycle, then started me on topamax to prevent them. Skull splitting headaches can make you into a monster. Keep hydrated and caffeinated if you're someone who has a caffeine dependency, and invoke the word 'migraine' even if it isn't the most accurate. People don't respect a headache. A migraine can get people to actually be considerate.
