Today, I had an interview for my dream job. I spent all of last night preparing, researching the company, and making sure everything was perfect. My interview was for 8am. I woke up at 10:30 to an alarm that had not gone off. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up early for a job interview. I got lost and arrived an hour late, only to find out it was the wrong day. FML
Today, after going to bed at a decent time last night so I could get up early, I overslept. Not only that, I thought today was the day of my job interview, so I rushed to get ready and go. As I parked in the parking lot, I realized today was the day before said interview. FML
Today, I had a job interview that I had spent hours preparing for it. When I arrived, the interviewer told me the position had been filled already and they forgot to notify me. I wasted a whole fucking day for nothing. FML
Today, I woke up at 11:11am. I was happy because I thought it was a sign that it was going to be a good day. I then realized that I was over an hour late for a job interview. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. The person giving me my interview was late, and while waiting for them I fell asleep. When they arrived, they didn't even bother interviewing me because they thought I was irresponsible since I fell asleep because they were late. FML
Today, it's been three days since I started preparing for a video interview, including practicing my answers and arranging the background behind me. Five minutes before it started, I noticed I'd been preparing for the wrong time zone. I was sitting in a perfect interview setup three hours too early. FML
Today, I was starting a new job that requires me to wake up at 4 am. I set three alarms but was so nervous about sleeping through them that I kept waking up to check the time, which caused me to miss my alarms. Goodbye awesome new job. FML
Today, I took a very expensive flight to New York City for a job interview. I waited in my hotel room all day for the phone call to go to my once in a lifetime interview. By noon, I was nervous; eight, I was pissed. Around ten, I realized my phone was still in airplane mode. FML
Today, I had a job interview at 9:00am. I left at around 8:30am, and as soon as I got in the car to drive to the interview, I checked my phone again, and it said 10:33. My boyfriend had decided to change the time on my clock as a "joke." FML
Today, I decided to take a nap before a big job interview at 6. I set two alarm clocks to make sure I didn't miss it, but I woke up at 5:59. As I'm scrambling in a panic to get out the door, my mom says calmly, "I took your alarm clocks out of your room because you looked really tired today." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Always set multiple alarms. When it's something this important, you don't leave anything to chance.

It WAS your dream job. Literally.

Go in at 8pm and say that was the time you were given.

That would be one of the worst things to do.

I could think up a LONG list of things to do with my idea being one of the best. You obviously have never and will never think outside the box. At this point, he really has nothing to lose.

I think you should call and reschedule. Honesty is the best policy. Try and throw in as much as you know about the job on the phone without sounding like an ass. Sorry to hear OP, alarms have such great power.

If someone can't wake up on time for a dream job then they can't be trusted to get in on time every single day. Most people wouldn't manage to sleep much either through nerves or excitement.

The good news is that you'll have plenty of time to sleep and dream about having a job. Those are better than real-life dream jobs anyways. Except for the money part. It is pretty sweet to be able to sexually harass all day and never get in trouble. Dream job, indeed!

Dreaming about sexual harassment is a little suspicious...

#37, ok, you got me! In my dream job, the hot ladies are jumping me before I get the chance to harass them
