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
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 can't read a headline these days without thinking of you Doortje! It's one thing to have your name on a random hurricane, it's another to have it on one that people are going to remember! Come to think of it, you should post this as a FML!!

The op worked his/her ass off for 2 years in a horrible economy planned for a vacation only for a major inconvenience which practically ruined the op chance of relaxation for what could be another 2 years. Think about the op's situation before you comment you ARROGANT PRICK

Funny, everyone I know was hoping Irene would hit OUR TOWN so school would be cancelled but NOOOO Irene had to go east!!! Come back Irene! I need you D:

It is coming right for me I guess. It is supposed to hit Rhode Island on Sunday, Monday is when I start school. The roof of our school already sucks and with a lot of rain we won't be starting soon in that school at least.

The roof of my school suck. The hurricane is coming to my home state of RI on Sunday. There's a good chance of no school on the first day of school.

We were hoping it would head our way and finally give us some much needed rain in Texas. But we did get a pretty good shower today and it cooled the temps down to 99 a much welcome thing after almost a month straight of 100+ degree weather.

Unless you're staying in a private home you're renting out, I'd just push it back 2 or 3 weeks. You're not out any money unless you're renting and didn't buy travel insurance. September is still nice either at the Jersey Shore or in OBX, and if you really need a vacation, work can wait. Hopefully this bitch Irene (the Hurricane) will go out to sea or weaken considerably and you can resume your vacation on Monday or Tuesday. I wish anyone luck who's in the path of this storm.

OP probably can't push it back because of their job. This was the week they had off, not two or three weeks from now.

If it makes you feel better, we have to evacuate too. Everyone on the coast does, basically.
