Today, I came in to work and found the conference room whiteboards completely clean. My assistant had wiped all the white boards where I'd spent 10 hours writing the schedule for the next three months. I was going to meet with all the supervisors to finalize that schedule today. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went into work happy about my supervising promotion. When I arrived at work, I realized that only one person had decided to come into work today, which meant I had to clean 15 rooms, and supervise myself. FML
Today, my supervisor told me to stock the bedding department, so I did all the pallets set out, with an hour to spare to clean up, only for my supervisor to bring out three more once she saw I was done. FML
Today, my boss finally checked the presentation I have been working on for three weeks. She called me into her office, and told me everything was dreadful, and requested me to start from scratch. It's due in half an hour. FML
Today, I cleaned my toilet. I had forgotten it was white. FML
Today, my boss dropped a highly important and dense report on my desk that had to be finished by the end of the day. After the initial panic attack and hours of scrupulous work, I finished. She then asked me to pick up the revised copy, where my name was replaced with hers. FML
Today, was the first day of my new job. My boss admitted that they hadn't cleaned the employee bathroom for over two months. My first task: clean the employee bathroom. FML
Today, at work in a library, I found a dirty diaper stuffed under one of the public use computer desks. Not only was it leaking, but it had been run over several times by a rolling office chair. I had to clean it up. FML
Today, my CEO called and spoke to me like I'm a child. Apparently, she has a surprise for me, "but only if I clean up my office first." She hasn't been to my office in months because she works in another state. Turns out, someone texted her a picture of my messy office. FML
Today, I finished a very important but annoying presentation that took four hours to complete. Only after writing a paragraph to explain the presentation and sending it to my boss did I realize that I saved the document as "Shit I have to do to get a promotion." FML
Today, I finally told my boss that I need a week off to recharge; I presented dates, reasons, and felt brave. He nodded approvingly, then checked my calendar and asked, “Perfect, can you train the new hires that week?” I stared at my triumphant note then mourned my stolen week. Ugh. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should have taped a piece of paper to the board to remind people not to erase it. That really sucks =/

And thats why nowdays we have something called "Presentations" that you can do in several neat formats like power point, open office, flash and so on. So, thats why i voted that you deserved it. Get on with the times.

Unlike some people who apparently spend their entire lives reading all the comments to every FML (I assume you fall in this category), I just comment. I don't read all the comments to be sure mine isn't redundant. Because who gives a shit, they are comments on FML. Get a life.

Actually, reading the comments is half the fun. The comments can actually be funnier than the FML at times... ;) And no offence, but they probably called you on it beacuse it was a lame joke, especially to be done twice.. lol Sorry :P

Reading the comments is 90% of the fun. Seriously, the FMLs usually suck. Once you get past the moderators and the character limit is when the real fun begins. If all you are commenting on is the OP's limited information then you really don't understand how this site is supposed to work.

Hey cybely. Your comment failed. And no, I dont read every comment, but I just happened to be online for an hour and was reading random FMLs, so yeah. Your comment was not as tough as it seemed as the other 2 people laughed at you. Moron.

I doubt that this is true, for a few reasons. 1. If you spent 10 hours writing all of this on a board, your assistant probably would have noticed. Thus he/she would have known to leave the writing up there instead of erasing it 2. How do you spend 10 HOURS writing something on the board? Do you seriously not have anything better to do with your day? If you were going over a schedule with supervisors, you're probably some kind of manager, which means you should have plenty of other work. Unless you did this over a period of a couple of days, but that doesn't seem sensible, because other people probably would have used the room (presumably a conference room) during that time and erased your stuff anyway. 3. Have you never heard of spreadsheets? Or even a word processor? Why not spend 2 hours typing it out and then email it to the supervisors for revision. Then bring a projector to the meeting (or hell, just make print-outs). Why spend 10 hours writing it on a board that'll get messy the instant you make a change? Even if it's true, YDI for not taking the 10 seconds to write "Do Not Erase" on the board in big, bold letters. Or telling your assistant not to erase it. Or just making your assistant do it in the first place.
