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 understand the hurricane is a terrible thing.... But what a selfish person you are... Some people will prolly die but the real tragedy is you didn't get to go on vacation..... Boo-hoo

I have no sympathy, if u dislike the results of hurricanes, GET OUT OF THERE!!! it really seems idiotic to rebuild maybe every year just because u like the location, same goes for tornado alley, if u don't like ur trailers being destroyed, then hitch it up and move on out of there

Yeah that would be a comment for FL area but the coast of SC up don't see hurricanes like this very often.. I believe the last one that was bad was like 8 years ago.. That was on the NC coast SC hasn't seen one since 89.. So why not have a home where you're happy if it doesn't happen that often. He can complain if he wishes. Your house can be destroyed no matter where you live... And the comment to the ppl in tornado alley was harsh.. Not everyone lives in a trailer.. And some ppl can't just "hitch up" and move

Obviously you are ignorant and uneducated. it's not like all of tornado alley is blown off the map every year and then it's rebuilt year after year. hurricanes don't wipe out the whole east coast either. OP wasn't asking for your sympathy. Sympathy from an idiot is worthless anyways. So, are you suggesting the whole country moves to the west coast? Use common sense, every region has it's threats.

You need a major reality check. People could possibly die from this hurricane, and you think the bad news is that you don't get to go on vacation. Boohoo for you PS.....YDI
