Today, I started my first overnight shift at the penitentiary. This was also the night the offenders decided to riot. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was my first day at my new job at a nursing home. Not only were we short staffed, two residents passed away, and I got beaten up by an old man. FML
Today, I had a night shift as a front desk clerk in a nice hotel. Even with 2 years experience, I truly wasn't ready for what was about to happen. From a burned hand by boiling water to unpaid rooms via a guest identification scandal at 3 a.m., everything that could go wrong did. FML
Today, I got disciplined for sleeping on night shifts, by my boss, who also sleeps on night shifts. FML
Today, my first day on the job, I locked up the office after everyone left and set the alarm. An hour later, my new boss angrily emailed me that I locked him inside the building, setting off the alarm and prompting the entire police department to show up. FML
Today, I got into trouble for sleeping at work. FML
Today, I was put in lockup for accidentally scaring the officer by lifting my hand to scratch my head. FML
Today, a riot broke out while I was on shift at the community swimming pool. A family snuck in soap so they could use the pool as a giant bath tub. FML
Today, my country went on strike and is overthrowing the government, and I'm stuck on a night shift at work. FML
Today, I was once again mistaken for an escaped convict. I live near a women's correctional facility and apparently my nursing scrubs look a lot like their prisoners' uniforms. The cop made me late for work. FML
Today, I had to check up on a 400-pound inmate who was very upset about being locked up. When I got to his cell, he threw one of his own turds at me through the bars. I took a hit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What sort of place do you work where they are out of cells and able to riot at night? I’ve worked in a maximum security prison for 14 years and ours are always locked in by 4pm. I’d like to hear more details.

4pm?. seem extreme! How many hours are the people locked in cells for?

Woah. I think we'd like to hear more from YOU, saffy66. Is it anything like OITNB? interesting33, I agree that 4pm is crazy and my first thought was about how inhumane that is, but then I realized she works in MAX and it's probably all murderers and other extreme offenders. I mean that is what prison is, you lose your rights.

in Australia they're locked up at different times depending on security level, etc. mostly between 6-8 pm.

What happen? Did you drop the soap and they lost their minds? Did your milkshake bring all the boys to the yard?

Might be Time to bail out from that job.

Yeah, because you always quit the first time something gets difficult. You go into the prison service knowing riots are a possibility. You don't quit just because it happened.

Manb91 While most times it’s not wise quitting the first day of work for minor problems/inconveniences, it’s also true that some jobs have more risks than others. Statistically speaking, prison riots are more dangerous than some “regular” jobs. And prison riots happen more often than many people realize.
