Today, for the first time, I decided to just be myself at work. My boss thought I was drunk. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I had to have a word with my boss about how him coming into work drunk is probably not a very good idea. FML
Clean living
Today, I wasn’t hungover at work for a change, after quitting heavy drinking of 10+ years. My boss accused me of being “high as a kite on drugs”, because I was “suspiciously chirpy.” FML
Today, I went into work for the first time without make-up. My boss thought I looked so tired and ill that he sent me home. FML
Today, I was written up at work and sent home 20 minutes into my shift. My boss thought I was under the influence of something, but it’s really just the first time I’ve come to work with no makeup on. FML
Nice to know
Today, my boss mistakenly drunk-texted me and was talking shit about me. FML
Today, my boss fired me because of my drinking problem. The reason he thinks I have a drinking problem? I was in a play he saw, in which I played a drunk person. I've been completely sober my whole life. FML
Today, after drinking myself to an oblivion, I awoke with a massive hangover. I didn’t want to go to work, but every excuse I came up with in my head screamed of alcoholics. When I arrived, my boss asked me why I was there. It was my day off. FML
The day after
Today, I went to work completely hung over. I was at my desk for 5 minutes before security threw me out on my ass. Apparently, I’m hung over because I got fired yesterday and got blackout drunk, completely forgetting that I had been fired. FML
It's all my fault
Today, I was sitting in my cubicle at work, nursing a hangover, and thinking how stupid I was for getting so shit-faced last night. I then realized that I was voicing my thoughts out loud, and the whole office had gone quiet, listening to me castigate myself. FML
Boozing on the job
Today, I was at work, cleaning up a construction site. I picked up a beer can and accidentally spilled some of it on me. My boss came in to check on me and thought I was drunk. Instead of getting a raise, I was fired. FML

That just means that you have a personality of a drunk person. I wonder what you're like when you are drunk.

Well, I guess you'll get have to show your boss what you're like when you get drunk to prove him wrong. Let the drinking begin.

Sometimes at work you have to act differently than being with friends and home sorry about that..

It could be that your boss was so use to you being one type of personality, that when you acted like yourself it was too much of a drastic personality change. The only reasoning your boss could come up with is that you took a personailty altering substance. It probably wasn't meant as an insult... or so I assume. Just sit-back and drink some beer... wait, d'oh!

Exactly my thoughts. Your normal self is probably more friendly and less reserved, we're normally very reserved around bosses, teachers etc. So you letting it all go and just being yourself was probably akin to being "drunk" when we get a little too friendly :D

I know how you feel. I've made friends like that and the minute I actually started being myself, they assumed I was either intoxicated or pretending to be crazy. If you can manage to be both professional and friendly at the same time, continue to be yourself.

:] you sound like you have a great personality. Hopefully people get over what they think is you being drunk and appreciate you for who you are. OP: Your boss just needs to get used to the real you, but if any behavior is inappropriate for the workplace, just know when to keep it in check.

Yeah it's such a common thing to do, then they get used to that persona and being yourself becomes something alien.

Well thank you. Truthfully, I've made other friends since then. I'm just more cautious of my actions now. I have an odd sense of humor and I'm always laughing. Some people don't think that's normal, no matter how long you've known each other.

At a job, you're supposed to be professional not "yourself". You're suppose to have inhibitions. If you would normally say "****," you say something else.
