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
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I find it a bit amusing that some of the commenters, myself included, thought "Probably worth a lot of money" before "That's weird" or "Gross".

What kind of secretary are you to where you have to do this sort of thing as a job for your boss? And does he keep them at his office or something? o.o

No, she went to his house to organize them... Obviously he keeps them in his office sine she said she was at work.

I don't know why, but I read "my job as a sexy secretary".

Nothing weird about collecting Playboys. They're not hard core **** magazines, they are more artful than most and therefor should really not be put in the taboo category. Same with paintings of naked women. As long as shit isn't spread wide open, then it doesn't offend me... ...but to organize them alphabetically is just ridiculous! You gotta do it by date! :)

I have been collecting Playboys for some years (I have mostly Brazilian issues in my collection, but I buy some American ones sometimes), but I wouldn't ask for somebody else to organize them (and I also think it is very inappropriate to ask for a woman to do it). Actually, I would be very angry if somebody else read them without me knowing. I think your boss should give you work-related tasks, not personal life-related tasks. He is acting in a very disrespectful way.

In this economy a job is a job. People and this disillusion of a right to work.
