Today, my teacher said that since I was sick last week, I had to do all the work that the others had done, which I didn't know about because no one said anything about it. So now I've got to watch a total of 5 hours-worth of documentaries, and write analysis of them. Before tomorrow. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I've been sick for five days and I have two college essays and a exam coming up, along with a few other assignments. I've been working non-stop for five days with less than six hours of sleep per day, and more assignments are flowing in as I am working. FML
Today, I had to use a sick day from the school I teach at. While I was off, another teacher called me mid delirium, because my students were borderline rioting over the work I left for them. I'd asked them to read a book and edit the one-page essay they've had two weeks to work on. FML
Today, I was told that, although I was sick on the last day before break, they would still accept the 24 page essay that I had written. Tonight, as I went to print it out, I found that my dad had "cleaned up a bit" on my computer, including the documents from last semester. I have school tomorrow. FML
Today, after I missed in school for two and a half weeks, I also missed three tests. Now I gotta work for all of them during my holidays and read two books for school. My holidays are just gonna be like school, but with more work. FML
Today, I finished a 6-part project. It took me 7 hours of straight work because my partner decided I should do it alone. I then learned that the reason my partner did not help me was because the teacher e-mailed the leader of every group, saying the project was cancelled. FML
Today, I did my work, the work of my co-worker who called in sick and the work of my boss who has no idea what the hell is going on all at the same time. I didn't get a promotion because I don't work hard enough. FML
Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Today, I went in to take my College Placement tests. I'd spent all week ignoring actual homework to study for these tests. When I got there, the responsible told me that the tests were last week. FML
Today, I woke up knowing I'd done all my homework, so I'd have the day free. My dad calls me into his room to tell me that I have 3 outstanding exam papers to hand in this week. It was summer homework, set by my school's online learning website that I didn’t know it existed. FML
Today, I spent all day doing a project for myself and then for a friend who's sick. Turned out it was a prank everyone in the class was pulling on me. I missed a baseball game because of it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I honestly hesitated between an FML and a YDI but settled for a FML: - YDI: it's your job to ask your classmates about the work done during the week, it's not their job to automatically give it to you. You should have asked, not expect other people to tell you. And if you classmates can't give it to you, send an email/call you teacher. - FML: you were sick, away from school, so you even if you had known about the homework, you wouldn't be healthy enough to work and the teacher could show some compassion, especially with Covid around. Tell her you can't do all the homework in one day when you were SICK, it's not like you were at home twiddling your thumbs, you were sick! If she decodes to have a massive power trip, go to the principale/headteacher and your parents.

Dude it only only gets worse from here. Once you get out of school a normal work schedule is often 60+ hours a week. Only then will you really appreciate the insane amount of spare time you have now.

And yet, instead of getting to your work, you piss away the time whining about it.

Prepping you for the future. Your work life will be just like this. Calling in sick doesn’t mean you don’t do the work, it means you catch up when you return.
