Today, I finished my first shift at my new summer job. I've only been working there for 6 hours and they already call me, "The blonde one". I made straight A's in my last semester of college. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got my first job after having spent months looking, and graduating college in the meantime. I got it based on my pre-college qualifications. FML
Today, was my graduation from a prestigious university. In two days I start working at a hot dog stand. FML
Today, I finally started my first job. I also lost it, for being too "enthusiastic" and making my fellow employees look lazy. FML
Today, I reported in for my first day at work. When I walked in they asked "Who are you?" I answered "Cassie, it's my first day today" with a huge smile. They'd meant to call and offer the job to the other Cassie they interviewed. FML
Today, I finally started my dream job. I turned up for work with a huge smile on my face. Imagine how much my face dropped when I saw that I had to share an office with the girl I stood up last weekend. FML
Today, I finally got an interview at a restaurant after looking for a job for three months. I dressed nice, and the interview was going well until this blonde girl in booty shorts and fishnets walked in. The manager hired her on the spot. FML
Today, I finally got my nametag. I had been using other people's names like Maria and Caie for a week, so I was happy to be called my own name. I put it on and got to work. Ten minutes later, I was called into the office. I got laid off. I got to wear my nametag for 10 minutes. FML
Today, was my first day at a new job. I was really pleased with how much positive attention I was getting in a mainly male office. Guess whose shirt was see-through. FML
Today, I began my job as an intern at a high school. I saw one of the students looked very familiar, and I couldn't remember from where. Then I figured it out, I had hooked up with him at a club last week. He's a junior in high school, I'm in my last year of college. FML
Today, I'm broke and just started working in a restaurant at a luxury hotel. On my first day, the director had told me to get rid of my blue dyed hair. Back at work with a new fresh 57€ cut and no blue in sight, he saw me. I have some blonde streaks in the back, and if I don't get rid of them within a week, I'm fired. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Cannot FML or YDI until I find out if your hair is actually blonde and you might have forgotten.

And with all your straight A's and college smarts you can't speak up and tell them "hey, my name is X, you can call me by it."? Stand up for yourself if it bothers you.

You could have taken easy classes during your last semester. Formal education doesn’t guarantee you won’t make an ass of yourself during your first day of work.

There are far worse things to be called than the "blonde one." Just sayin'.

How long did it take you to find your keys? ;)

Booksmart is not necessarily capable on other levels. I know a lecturer and he comes across as very socially inept and stupid but is the smartest person I know.

I'm thinking that maybe you're not the only one who just started and because not everyone there knows your name yet, they just refer to you as 'the blonde one', because of the colour of your hair. I'm just saying it doesn't have to be an insult.

Context? You’re new, maybe they’re just calling you that because you have blonde hair. Is it followed up by an insulting joke or something?

Grow a thicker skin, and ignore them!
