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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
The first day of the rest of your life (or not)
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
Murphy's Law
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
One law for me…
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
Nighty night
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
Fight the power!
Today, my country went on strike and is overthrowing the government, and I'm stuck on a night shift at work. FML
A shooting waiting to happen
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

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.

I worked in Missouri maximum state penitentiary, level 5 prison, for 5 years, the inmates dont get locked up till after 8pm. I transferred to level 3, lower level security prison.. but wished I would have stayed at maximum security. The inmates had more respect there.
