Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Bad start
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

Early bird special
Today, despite the fact they know I'm commuting hundreds of kilometres, I was requested to come to work at the earliest possible hour, every day. I'll be waking up at half past 3 a.m. and admire sunrises on my way. FML

Management mix up
Today, I woke up at 2 a.m. and stayed up the rest of the night. I had to go to work from 3 to 11 and I ended up getting my coworker to leave early. As I was getting ready to leave, I found out that I wasn't scheduled today and that I now have to work this Saturday. FML

Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML

Today, I had to wake up at 4am because my boss set an important business meeting for first thing in the morning. After making sure everything was ready, I went to work. My boss ended up oversleeping and moved the meeting to tomorrow. FML

On time
Today, I set my alarm for 3:30 AM to catch an early flight. I got up, got dressed, and arrived at the airport in record time. While checking in, I was told that my flight is tomorrow morning. I’m now wide awake and sitting in a 24-hour diner, having a very early breakfast. FML

The struggle is real
Today, after struggling to get up on time all week at 5 a.m., it's finally my day off, and boom, I'm up exactly at 5 a.m., naturally. No alarm, no struggle. FML

Today, I woke up to go to school. I was unbelievably tired, but I gathered the courage to go take my shower. I then took a long shower, cleaned up my room, got dressed, and ate breakfast. Going back to my room, I looked at the clock, which read 3:22 AM. FML

And I'm assuming you get off roughly eight hours later and have the rest of the day to yourself? Congratulations on having a job.

This website's point is to post anecdotes that you think make your life shitty. If we looked at each FML the way you do with this one, for example with an anecdote posted by a man about his girlfriend, we would see in the comments things like " Well not everybody has a girlfriend. You do, so just shut the **** up ! "

YDI for applying for the job. They tell you upfront what type of shift your getting, so quit whining. Your making money.

I've worked 20 hour days in the oilfield for years. You asked for the job, why are you complaining?

I don't see what the problem is here my bf works in a warehouse his hours are from 1am to whenever the hell they wanna send him home he's come home from work at 6pm before went straight to bed and did it again the next day his dad works from 3am to 4pm so I don't know why you're complaining

No one gives a damn that you have to get up early to go to work. If you don't like the shift, you shouldn't have agreed to be on it. If you don't like the job, find another one. There's nothing even remotely life-******* or amusing about this. Get over yourself.

On one hand, I sympathize a little, because I worked 5am shifts for awhile and I remember how hard it was to get up at that hour in the dark and the cold. I also remember how hard it was to try to sleep early the night before. On the other hand, I was grateful to have a job at all. and now that I'm unemployed, I'd kill for a job. Any job. Even minimum wage, and even 5am shifts. Stuck with an early shift beats the hell out of unemployed, drowning in debt, and teetering on the edge of suicidal. Count your blessings, OP.

OP is a whiny bitch. I get up at 3 too, and so do a lot of other people. It means your hours are different, not that you're some brave martyr who works until 7 and then gets up at 3. You're just being dumb.
