Today, I was woken up from a phone call from my boss. He asked if I had been asleep. I told him I wasn't, that I was in my car on the way to work. Then my alarm went off. FML
Today, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, my boss called and yelled at me because he said I was "spotted" out after I called off sick. I was out getting the medicine the doctor had just prescribed me. FML
Today, I wasn't sure if I would have to go to work. My mom told me the night before that she would wake me up if I had to. I woke up, and seeing that it was past the time I normally go to work, I happily assumed I got called off. That is, until I got a phone call from my boss asking me why I wasn't there yet. FML
Today, while sitting on the toilet, my phone pocket dialed my boss's cell. He was in the next stall. He answered. FML

Boss "Why aren't you at work?" OP "Ummm.....because I work real hard you gave me a pay raise and told me to take 4 weeks off, paid of course, as a bonus." *OP walking out of workplace totally unnoticed by boss standing out door* Boss "Sounds like me. Good job. See you in a month" Have fun OP.

I have a disability called prosopagnosia, or face-blindness, which means that I am unable to recognize, remember, or distinguish between faces, including those of people whom I may know very well such as relatives or colleagues. It may be that the boss is also face-blind. The majority of people with prosopagnosia never actually learn that they have it; they spend their whole lives blundering horribly and think perhaps that they're just dumb without learning that there's a reason why.

Hey you don't know what was going on with the boss today, maybe she just had something important playing on her mind. At least she pays enough attention to you to be concerned when you didn't show for work
