Today, someone sent my boss a CD full of documents for an upcoming trial. It's my job to sort through the evidence, so he gave it to me. I looked on the CD. There's only one file; a 1020-page PDF of all the documents we need, and the pages weren't scanned in order. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boss told me to sort and file all the paperwork he'd been randomly shoving into boxes since 2010. Apparently we're being audited, so he expects me to do eight years of filing in two weeks. There's enough paper to fully stock a large public library. Two weeks my ass. FML
Today, I found out I've been incorrectly sorting thousands of papers for the past two weeks. My boss wanted them sorted by date, but the co-worker who instructed me said to sort them into alphabetical order just to watch me fail. FML
Today, I emailed a bunch of documents to a potential client, only to later realise later I'd also emailed them a folder of mine and my husband's very intimate photos. There’s things in there we only do when I’m very drunk, and am very embarrassed by. I’ve been ducking my bosses calls for two hours. FML
Today, I went to work at my job as a secretary. I had been given the task to file my boss's collection of Playboy magazines alphabetically by name of the centerfold. There was one for every month from the years of 1980 until now. FML
Today, my boss asked if I could spare a few minutes to finish off the last of his paperwork backlog. I'm pretty desperate for a raise, so I said sure. Turns out the "small", "should-take-a-few-minutes" backlog consists of 3 desk-high stacks of documents. Goodbye, cruel world. FML
Today, I was fired because of a "poorly executed" task. My boss claims that I just copypasted an existing document in a new file; I was instructed exactly to take the document and move its content to a new table without changing anything. It was discussed beforehand, but looks like his own messages are not a proof. FML
Today, while visiting my in-laws, I went into their home office in search of a sheet of scrap paper. Instead, I found printed copies of every email and IM my husband and I had ever sent each other, including pictures. Highlighted and annotated by his mother. FML
Today, I knocked an old-school slide carousel off my desk, scattering nearly 100 individual slides everywhere, including the specific slides my professor asked me to digitally scan, which were placed carefully on top. None of them are numbered. FML
Today, my boss dropped a highly important and dense report on my desk that had to be finished by the end of the day. After the initial panic attack and hours of scrupulous work, I finished. She then asked me to pick up the revised copy, where my name was replaced with hers. FML
Today, I told the girl working the scanner that half the documents I was indexing from her were upside down. Now ALL of them are upside down. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

1) He'll get fired. 2) Your grammar still sucks.

So op can get fired? Umm how about no.
PenguinBitch 44
Yo dog, Op's boss already knows about the CD. He'll more likely fire OP if it gets "broken" by accident.

You're getting paid right? Yeah..your right, that sux. I hate money.

Do you like puzzles?

Just print it out, then sort it?

That's actually not a bad idea, especially since they can use their work's printer and it would be for work purposes. I would split it up to a few different printers though.

It's not that bad. You got some useful suggestions for the sorting. It's better than counting stock (machine parts, nails) in a dusty, hot storage space. Middle of summer, no airco, and forced to wear thick protective clothing, including tough shoes and helmet. As long as you get paid, who cares?

Get off of fml and start sorting those pages then.

ASAP

Sounds like there's a few easier solutions in the comments above OP. Stop complaining, drink a nice big cup of cement, and get started!

Does drinking cement help with these things? If so, I need to stop wasting my time on coffee and other wimpy drinks

Tell your boss your computer is broken
lilhellian 27
Seeing as it's a cd. Op's boss would tell op to go to another computer at work..
