Today, I spent nearly an hour thawing out my car and driving to work in this stupid freezing rain, only to find out that I'm now unemployed due to budget cuts. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up at 5:15, snow blowed and salted the driveway for over an hour, left early and drove an hour on shitty roads just to get to work on time only to be laid off. FML
Today, I spent nearly half an hour clearing several inches of snow off my car. After almost suffering from hypothermia, I finished. Except the car keys were missing from my pocket, presumably buried under a foot of snow. FML
Today, I spent an hour in a snowstorm waiting for my bus to show up. After I got fed up, I decided to just clean off my car and drive to work. After I was halfway finished swiping off the snow and ice stuck to my car, the bus drove right past me. FML
Today, I found my company car wrecked in a ditch. Apparently, leaving it parked on an icy hill all night was a bad idea. I have to pick up my manager from the airport. FML
Today, I got snowed in. At work. FML
Today, I finalized my new car purchase after three months on the job at a new company. Two hours later, I was informed that my position has been eliminated. I have two weeks to find a new job or I'm completely screwed. FML
Today, a snow storm rolled into my small town, leaving my car stuck under 3 feet of snow. I called my boss to tell her I couldn't drive to work. Her reply? "Walk." FML
Today, I woke up at 3 a.m. to get ready for a "fun work retreat". After driving 2 hours to the site, I find that nobody's there. After about half an hour standing there freezing, I get an email from my boss, telling me that, "It's canceled due to bad weather." FML
Today, I woke up, got dressed, drove for an hour, just to find out that I was fired. This is the closest job near me. FML
Today, the company that was supposed to clear our apartment's parking lot never showed up. I almost got frostbite in my fingers trying to shovel someone's car out since my gloves got soaking wet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Freezing rain is amazing! I've only seen it once or twice but freezing rain is liquid rain that freezes when it hits the ground. It's rare and incredibly hazardous but it does happen. It forms a sheet of solid ice over everything amazingly quickly. It's very interesting from a scientific point of view - very pure water can be super-cooled below freezing point without turning solid if there is nothing to seed it. It then freezes on contact, shock etc. Try putting a new, unopened, bottle of water in the freezer for about an hour (your mileage may vary). It will come out liquid but if you bang it on the counter it will freeze instantly - you have just created bottled freezing rain!

I know that, but you'd think that in 2 years he could've found something. Probably not his dreamjob, probably not worlds greatest paycheck, but nonetheless a job.

I know a few people who've been rejected by Wal-Mart, darling. Wal-Mart.... a step down from fast food chains. Something's not quite right here, and I really don't think it's the job seekers.

No, sorry sir- you fail. Watch the news. Especially the part about the weather. You know, where they call it freezing rain. There is such a thing, and no, it's not the same as hail.

That really sucks OP. This weather is no fun.. and fighting through it to find you no longer have a job, well that's just really shitty... Good luck!

Well, you are going to need your car today, so thawing it out wasn't in vain. You could either drive to the unemployment office or torch your former workplace and ********** as that ************ burns to the ground.
