Today, my boss came up to my desk to talk about a new project. He came up to my monitor so we can go to a website. My browser had frozen and I couldn't close it. The tabs I had open: Facebook, Gmail, Careerbuilder, Monster, and Resume Samples. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss yelled at me for having Facebook open at work. That's fine, I closed it and continued on with my work. In a meeting later on I could see the reflection of my boss's laptop screen in a mirror behind her desk. For two hours, I watched her scroll through her Facebook feed. FML
Today, I was working on entering a lot of information in the system. When I'd finished, I closed the screen to move on to the next steps, my boss came by to see how I was doing, just in time to see me looking at a now-blank screen. I'm convinced that my boss thinks I closed a screen that wasn't work related. FML
Today, I was on a conference call and digital meeting at work when I got bored and started surfing the Internet. Little did I know that my desktop was being shared. My boss was on the call and saw everything. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out for doing some random web browsing while waiting for some documents I needed to arrive, then went back to his desk and went on Facebook, thinking I couldn't see. FML
Today, my boss and I were bragging about our new phones. I unlocked mine to show its awesome display, and accidentally opened a job search app. FML
Today, my boss was using my computer and tried to copy and paste a website URL. It must not have copied first, because it pasted a URL to a porn site. I think I should start looking for a new job. FML
Today, I guess I accidentally left Facebook open on my work computer while I went to the bathroom, because my boss updated my status to "Unemployed." FML
Today, I got two viruses on my laptop. One was a fake anti-spyware program that cluttered the screen with pop-ups. The other opened the browser repeatedly, each time to a generic porn site. This all conveniently happened at work, on a projector and during a meeting. FML
Today, I was caught going on Facebook at work. I was called into my boss's office to be reprimanded, and while he was lecturing me on the importance of staying focussed and the misuse of company property, his computer beeped. It was his Facebook chat notifying him of a new message. FML
Today, I was working from home. I felt very sleepy, so I set my online status “Active” and went back to bed. I woke up to 3 missed calls from my boss and an email from him, containing a webcam screenshot of me asleep in bed. I totally forgot he has remote access to my computer. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hate when my computer freezes! Mostly, I hate that sometimes they freeze at the wrong times in front of the wrong people.

OK, someone said CTRL + ALT + DEL. I'm telling you Windows + L locks your machine, and Windows + D (or Windows + M) minimizes all and shows the desktop. You could also have cold-booted. YDI. Good luck with your next job.

windows-l would've been useless because the boss wanted to use the comp, so he would just tell him to unloick. same for win-d or win-m, because the boss wanted to use the browser, but additionaly, if the browser froze, chances are that wouldn't minimize it. cold boot (you got the terms mixed up, cold boot is booting after the computer wasn't used, e.g. is "cold". what you mean is hard reboot) would only have worked if done before the boss came in (right after the browser froze), but it's still stupid because it can lead to data loss and has a chance to damage the drive. CTRL-ALT-DEL (or rather, ctrl-shift-esc) would've been much better, if done before the boss came in. Please never give anyone any computer advice anymore.

Internet Explorer strikes again! YDI for not using Firefox.
