Today, marks my third day of school being closed due to snow. One, and only one, of the teachers has decided that we have to do work online in the meantime. I just so happen to be in three of his classes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, school finally opened up using a hybrid schedule. Unfortunately, two of my teachers were quarantined and half of the school was on Zoom. I spent two hours in the library doing nothing with a mask on. Everyone else was on Zoom in bed. FML
Today, I got snowed in. At work. FML
Today, my boss texted me to say the office was closed because of the snow. I begged him to let me go in anyway because I had nothing to do all day. I have no life, friends or hobbies. FML
Today, I'm a teacher in the middle of a pandemic. Half my students haven't shown up to my class. The other half don't do any assignments. I keep my job based on how well my students do. FML
Today, I'm two days deep into a semester at a trade school, pulling doubles. I was supposed to only work 4 days a week, which would've been totally manageable. But, because the weather was total crap the first week, now I'm stuck working 80-hour weeks for the next month including those Fridays. FML
Today, it's the last day of my three-week vacation, during which I couldn't go anywhere due to COVID and lockdown. I just learned that some of my colleagues are infected and I will have to fill in for two department superintendents at the same time when I go back to work tomorrow. FML
Today, my college English teacher told me if I wanted an explanation for my grade I would have to schedule a conference to come to her office. It's an online class. I took an online class because I can't come in. FML
Today, I've been making extremely good progress in my online class. Or at least… I was, until the deadline to complete it was suddenly pushed a whole month forward, causing me to be "behind." Then my teacher had the nerve to email me, telling me I needed to catch up. FML
Today, my teacher said that since I was sick last week, I had to do all the work that the others had done, which I didn't know about because no one said anything about it. So now I've got to watch a total of 5 hours-worth of documentaries, and write analysis of them. Before tomorrow. FML
Today, exactly 19 seconds after I logged on, my boss Zoom-called me to let me know 3 people are out sick, probably until Monday, so if I wouldn’t mind doing their work as well so we don’t fall behind, within working hours, no overtime available. He wasn’t happy when I told him no. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's simple enjoy you're time not at school and make and excuse and you're power going off, hopefully he will believe.

I'm not sure why this is a bad thing? When I was studying and had to take a week off, I was still expected to do my work at home. It sounds like a smart move on your teachers part, at least you'll have the class work done when you do go back, and not have to spend extra time catching up on it. So you have to do something on your day off, boo ****** hoo for you. Welcome to the real world kid.

Well looks like you will have a lighter load when school opens up again by 3 classes at least. The others have fun!

You would still have to make up the days you missed so it wouldn't really matter either way.

OMG call the authorities! A teacher is assigning homework? Unthinkable! You're an adult... or supposed to be. You don't get "snow days" anymore. You might not have class, but you still have work. Get used to it. Life's not fair.

I have a total of 4 classes this year. On a half day I only have one for 3 hours think of it as my kind of half day

My school has a policy of not closing when it snows. I live 25 miles from it. The snow regularly buries cars here. So I know your pain OP. But I can't help thinking that you should man up.

So you have a teacher that is concerned about your education, that worries that you'll forget information you need, that is willing to spend the extra time (and they aren't getting paid extra, either) to set up and grade internet-based lessons...and you are complaining? Really? Thank that teacher for all the extra hours he or she is pouring into this, trying to make sure they get you the education you need...rather than complaining that you have to work. I guarantee that teacher is doing a lot more work setting up those online classes, grading, and working with students online than YOU will be doing by completing the assignments.

You should be glad someone's giving a crap about your education, dim wit.
