Today, my work directory was updated to reflect my recent promotion. Due to lack of space, they abbreviated the title. I'm now listed as "Sr Anal". FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, thanks to downsizing and corporate restructuring, I was "promoted" to the entry level position I had 10 years ago. FML
Today, our outgoing boss told us about guy who's replacing him, saying he's very nice but very anal about things. Without thinking, I shrugged and said "Anal's not bad." Now everyone's calling me Anal-Girl. FML
Today, I got a promotion to management at work. My employer decided to give the 'non-management' employees a really nice raise. Which means the job I had before my promotion is now paying more than the job I have now. Did I just get demoted? FML
Today, I walked into my new office for the first time after receiving the promotion I've been trying for. Someone took a dump on my desk. FML
Today, one of my coworkers was recently promoted, so I'm now officially the last person of our team, hired in the same year, to still have "junior" as part of my job title. Not that it’s relevant, but I’m also the oldest member of the team by about 15 years, yet still "junior." FML
Today, within the span of one day, the owner of the business I work at said I could write "Technical & Compliance Manager" on paperwork where I was the approver for engineered compliance of product regulatory records, but also that I was "basically just a secretary." FML
Today, I got a promotion and transfer at work. My first responsibility is to fire my soon to be father in-law. FML
Today, I got a new title at work. My boss hyped it up and made it sound amazing, so I accepted. Come to find out it pays 20k less a year and is twice as much work. FML
Today, I was forced into accepting a "promotion" for a position that pays less than what I get right now. FML
Today, the only colleague I dislike was promoted to be my manager. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm guessing that it's supposed to be "Sr. Analyst"? Let's hope that you can get it fixed. In the meanwhile, try not to sweat it. It'll be a fun story to laugh about someday!

Sr is generally "senior". I don't think OP wants to own anything having to do with senior anal.

I'm sure #1 understands Sr is an abbreviation of senior. Doubt she was thinking of Strontium, too.

As in Senior Analyst? That would make sense. Hope you can get it fixed, OP!

Extremely good. I hear a lot of guys asking for anal, I've never known one to get promoted for it, until now. It must have been really great anal.

That's the opposite of a problem ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ironically, a lack of space is usually the opposite reason people are dubbed Sr Anal.

Kissed a little too much ass on the road to that promotion. I'll see myself out now.

I'm an assistant at my workplace so everywhere my name comes up it says "Eva [lastname], ass."

I was Ass. Man. for a couple of years before too, until they updated it to Ass. Mgr. Pity. I really liked the first one.

When people try to make fun of you and say "Sir Anal", you could correct them and say "It's SEÑIOR Anal to you."

"Who are you exactly?" "Señor Anal, Shit Lord. I rule you."
