Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Don't mess with Texas
Today, my boss gave me a verbal warning. My crime? Calling people "Hon'", "Darlin'", and the like. I work at a Texas diner. FML

Today, I started work at catering company. I was aware that I'd be cleaning dishes, but they forgot to warn me how many. Needless to say, after polishing 527 glasses, my hands hurt. FML

Get out
Today, I was given my marching orders because I corrected my supervisor on something he was actually doing wrong. It seems I deserve this for "not learning to obey my immediate superiors." FML

Today, my boss reprimanded me for my lack of media communications skills. It would be more understandable if I weren't a janitor. FML

Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML

Everyone wants a happy workplace!

Morticians? Divorce lawyers? Sexual assault social workers? Great, now I've gone and depressed myself. Maybe OP should smile and cheer me up or something.

Only the last one I couldn't see myself enjoying. I think if I dug deep enough and low enough I could enjoy people who wished they were still alive, and others who wished each other were dead.

You would be surprised, Doc. We funeral people are usually laughing and happy.

Mind if I ask, but what reason is there to be happy when your job is washing dishes?
Crazyjohnb 23
Start smiling like the people from the purge.

Maybe they just like seeing their workers show happiness while in the work place.

When I first read it, I imagined OP as a machine that washes dishes in homes. Right after I realised the real job he has....

I feel like I'm an idiot because at first I thought that OP was actually a dishwasher appliance. I think I should try sleeping.

My boss told me the same thing, but she followed it up with a "people might think you don't wanna be here" after a very sarcastic "really" I got written up.

Freaking fantastic comeback. Good job.

Great boss you have, OP.

got this all the time when I was a dishwasher, granted I was hungover half the time as it was weekends only. you couldn't get me to smile unless you made me food haha
ElricMustang 23
It's always a good idea to show up to work hungover -.-"
emily4040 18
Why would you go to work hungover?
thesmeagol 22
it was dishwashing, not like it required much thought to perform my duties. When the cooks were still drunk at 5am I dont think a headache warrants any cause for judgment among the staff.

Some of the best cooks I know are alcoholics. Dudes taking swigs of rum and brandy the whole day while cooking.

That Cajun cook guy they used to show on PBS had to be pretty drunk when cooking.

I your boss by chance, a sadist?
91hayek 31
He wants people to smile more, I think that makes him a happyist.
laden_swallow09 35
Do you even know what a sadist is?
leary96 15
If OPs boss was a sadist he would want him to frown more

Well you can make the best of it. It's better than no job. I was a dishwasher for 5 years when I went to school. Not the most fun job in the world.
