Today, I finally put the finishing touches on my first vacation in over two years, due to my hellish work schedule. The Governor essentially just vetoed my vacation with evacuation orders. Thanks, Hurricane Irene. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was looking forward to languishing on the beach for a few days of a “much needed vacation” when I literally got called back into work on my way to the beach. FML
Today, I have to reschedule the vacation I had planned for eight months because I have the flu, and feel too sick to go and enjoy myself at a waterpark. This vacation is the only thing that's kept me sane these last two months. FML
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, I returned from my first paid vacation in the past 2 years from a place with no cell, or internet. I've just found out that our department has been downsized. FML
Today, it's only day three of my annual vacation. Rest and relaxation? Afraid not! For the past days, I've been haunted by the constant thought of how much work will be piled up when I get back. FML
Today, while on vacation, I got fired for not working a shift I wasn't scheduled for. Even after texting my boss a copy of my vacation approval letter, she still fired me. FML
Today, after a year and a half of overexploitation at work without getting paid for it, I can finally have a deserved vacation. Why? I caught Covid. FML
Today, I lost my job for taking an unauthorized vacation. I just got married and requested time off for the wedding and honeymoon months ago; it was approved then. They forgot, and then got angry because I didn't remind them. I did remind them, the day before I left. FML
Today, it's the end of hard month: renovations, on top of kids' vacation, on top of cancelled camps, on top of cat with diarrhea. The thing waiting for me this weekend is the work assignment my boss gave me an hour before business closed on Friday, and wrapping up contractors shoddy work. FML
Today, while working security at a welfare office, I had to listen as a claimant gushed about her upcoming Caribbean cruise. I work two jobs and haven't had a vacation since 2006. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have a solution for OP. Go to Home Depot, buy a bag of sand and an inflatable pool, and presto. Instant vacation!!! Then, go buy a bottle of Jack to drown your feelings of depression in.

Build your own vacation. All you need are sand, beach chair, Doritos, Coke, and all the episodes of Friends.

Sorry that must suck... Just be thankful you aren't in the middle of a hurricane tho... That would be worse trust me I was stuck in hurricane Katrina and it destroyed my house and some of my friends had to leave forever here in south Mississippi :(

Maybe you should find a home in a part of the country not constantly plagued by natural disasters?!?!!? Except for really crappy winters Cleveland is a fairly natural disaster free city. Although it does suck. Milwaukee, Phoenix, Colorado Springs, Minneapolis..
emmanizzer 6
Yep. Phoenix. It's hot but we get no natural disasters at all. Well, unless you consider dust storms natural disasters....

Well earthquake and now hurricane... Maybe someone wants you to stay home
