Today, I realized I need a new job. This happened when I was seriously considering ways to break my leg so I could stay at home for a day and not have to deal with my boss. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered that the pain I've had for the past couple of weeks was actually due to a broken collar bone. Now work won't pay for the treatment I need because I continued to work despite the pain. FML
Today, I had to quit my dream job, due to an injury I received at work over two months ago not fully healing. Not only do I really need the money, I’ll never find something I love doing so much, or a better group of coworkers. FML
Today, I have to choose between getting a new job and losing my health insurance as a result, or staying unemployed and being evicted. Did I mention that I am unemployed due to severely breaking my leg with no legal recourse? FML
Today, I fell down my backyard steps at my own housewarming party, ended up breaking my ankle, and am now non-weight bearing for 10 weeks. I'm supposed to start a new job tomorrow, where I'm always on my feet. FML
Today, I decided to start jogging and exercising, so I had a wonderful workout before work. Then I broke my foot at work. Goodbye exercising. FML
Today, I realized that I needed a new job when I had to take anti-anxiety medication before meeting with my boss. Last time we met, I had a panic attack. FML
Today, after working two jobs and saving constantly this year all for a month-long solo vacation traveling to 7 countries, I arrived in first one. Within three hours I fell and broke my foot, forcing me to come home in fear of needing surgery. FML
Today, I called into work because I was too tired to keep my eyes open. My boss berated me over the phone, saying I should be more like that other employee who came in with a broken toe. That was me. FML
Today, I seriously considered stepping in front of a car so that I could miss a few days of work. FML
Today, I got hired and now I have to work. FML

I sometimes think it would be awesome to get in a car accident so I wouldn't have to go to school; especially during finals week.

#30, I don't think they meant that in a suicidal way but more in an "I would do anything to avoid having to go to school because it sucks" way. I've felt that way plenty of times, bout about school and work.

Exactly 42! I'm definitely not suicidal just really don't want to go to school sometimes.

Haha my friend & I contemplate what it would take before we would literally poke ourselves in the eye & risk blindness just to get away!

Desperate much? Find a new job then you don't have to make up an excuse

I have a manager that makes me feel like that. But I just ignore him. It really pisses him off but he can't do anything if I'm doing my job. Try it if you can OP

Pretty sure if you broke your leg you'd get to stay home for more than one day. So at least there's that.

Wow. I've been thinking that exact thought for the past two weeks. I even offered my brother $20 to break them.
