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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my 70-year-old boss asked me to order sexy lingerie she saw on the cover a magazine. 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 was given a new responsibility at the law firm where I work. I'm now in charge of punching holes in every single piece of paper to be found in the office, estimated to be in the hundred-thousands. The reason? I finish my daily clerical work too quickly. FML
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
Today, I finally found a job as a secretary for a small film studio. The sets are in a soundproofed part of the building, but not for the typical reasons. Right through the wall is a pornography studio. It's all I'll hear from 8 to 5 every day. FML
Today, my boss fired me because a coworker had seen me reading magazines on the job. That same coworker was the one who offered me the magazine. FML
Today, I was studying my anatomy book for nursing school while in the break room at my day job. My nosy-ass, ignorant coworker who always finds a way to butt into everyone’s business told the front office I was looking at porn. I got written up for, "displaying offensive materials." FML
Today, it was my first day of work at a very high end company. While delivering coffee to my boss, I set it down on the edge of a magazine, where it spilled over, into his crotch. FML
Today, my boss requested that I re-organize every file in the office, because she wanted the filing cabinets alphabetized right to left, not left to right. To thank me, she came into my office to give me one uncooked ear of corn. I think my boss has mistaken me for some kind of farm animal. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hopefully some of the "months" weren't stuck together

I bet there are some people who would love to get paid to look at centerfolds all day. Its all about perspective OP!

At first it looks like a terrible job, but in reality it means your boss trusts you. A man handing over his beloved Playboy collection to a woman is quite unique.

I would rather work at a fast food place then sort through magazines for people that cant get laid.

92- what the hell? That's like saying a person collects cars because they don't know how to drive. Just because he collects erotic magazines doesn't mean he doesn't have a wife or family.

That's pretty impressive.

Were any of the pages stuck together? =)) And do you think he hired you based on your resemblance to a favourite centrefold? And most importantly, is there a HR department should you wish to make any complaints thereafter? Good luck, OP!

Lol, they probably were.

OP's next task is to clean the sticky pages.

At least he has something to pass down to his son as his will? But dang, that's one of the most impressive collections I've ever heard of.

He most likely just keeps them for the high quality journalistic texts.
