Today, in an effort to look more professional at work, I wore high heels. My boss decided today would be a great day for me to walk around on the sidewalk holding a sign to advertise instead of doing the job I was hired for. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I wore my new shoes to work, feeling confident. Halfway through the day, I found out that I'd forgotten to remove a giant price sticker on the left sole. My boss pointed it out during a meeting, as I crossed my legs. FML
Today, I wore a new pair of heels to an interview. Halfway through, as they were showing me around the production floor, one of my heels snapped. I was forced to finish the interview wobbling on one heel like a drunk flamingo. I wasn’t offered the job, but they did say, “You have great balance.” FML
Today, I sprained my ankle trying to prove that I can walk in high heels. FML
Today, my boss walked in my office to see me busy making a little Post-it dress for my pen. FML
Today, I wore a new pair of shoes to work. By lunchtime, my feet were covered in blisters and I had to limp my way through the rest of the day. FML
Today, at the office, after a heavy night of drinking, I had to hear my boss walk around with bells attached to her shoes. She circled the office a total of 34 times today. FML
Today, I wore new shoes to work, which turned out to be the loudest shoes on the planet when walking on the office lino. Every step echoed like a cartoon villain entering a room. My coworker asked if I needed some WD-40. I still had six hours left to walk around. FML
Today, I came to work ready to impress my boss. A couple of weeks ago I asked him for a promotion from stock to sales and I have been proving myself worthy. Turns out he hired a new girl for sales, with great, big, fake breasts. FML
Today, I slipped at work while putting out a "wet floor" sign to make sure the customers didn't slip. FML
Today, I walked into my boss's office to ask for a raise, and walked out unemployed. FML

But I bet you're fabulous. But yeah, I feel you dude. I hate heels.

Whatever job is advertised by a sidewalk sign is probably not worth the high heels

Always bring another pair of shoes if you're going to wear heels. Or at least I do and it helps me.

What exactly are you advertising? You shouldn't sell yourself like that!

I think the purpose was for OP to sell the company, not herself.

I wonder if he did that on purpose, because he saw you wearing heels.

If that is legitimately not in your job description your boss can't make you do that

A lot of times their job description says "and other duties".

I'm sure he did that just so you'd look like a hooker standing on a street corner. Sounds like a dick to me.
