Today, after waking up in a panic because I was running late for work again, I realized I was fired for that exact reason the day before. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, after waking up in a panic since I slept through my alarm, I hurriedly got ready and started speeding to work. On the way, I texted my boss to apologize for running late. His response? "It's Saturday." FML
Today, when I got to work, I found out that I was being laid off. Two hours later, I found out my boss had my name on the wrong list. I was elated. I went to lunch, but on the way back was rear-ended, in the rain. I was an hour and a half late getting back to work. I was fired upon returning. FML
Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML
Today, I was let go from my job for not being able to come into work early. FML
Today, I was running late for work. I was trying to find my car keys, then realized I'd left them in my boyfriend's car. My phone charger was locked in my car, and my phone was dead. I couldn’t get hold of my boss and explain what had happened. I’m fired, aren’t I? FML
Today, on my first day of work, I got fired after 45 minutes. FML
Today, I went to bed early, feeling responsible. At 2 a.m., I woke up in a panic because I forgot to set my alarm. While fixing it, I actually turned it off completely. I overslept, missed work, and proved once again that I should never trust myself. FML
Today, I was yelled at and almost fired for showing up "late" to work. I was the first one here. FML
Today, after being a few minutes late to work a few times this week, I left the house super early this morning. When I got to work, security hadn’t unlocked the doors yet, so I waited in my car, where I ended up falling asleep and sleeping through most of my entire morning shift. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well if OP doesn't have to go to work OP can go back to sleep. Just trying to look at the best of a bad situation.

The name of the author is Jobless in Seattle, but it says the FML came from Texas. Interesting.

it's a reference to "Sleepless in Seattle."

You should have tried the "better late than never" line yesterday.

I've always had a problem waking up to the sound of a beeping/buzzing alarm clock. What worked for me was setting the alarm clock, which I place on the other side of the room, to radio, and setting the alarm on my phone to a really annoying song. Two different songs playing at the same time screws with my brain or something and I wake up every time to turn that nonsense off!

Unless you have a crazy boss that fired you for being late just once, YDI entirely.

If you cared about your job, you would have made a better effort to show up on time. YDI
