Vacation and Holidays: Make it stop

Make it stop

By mee - 07/08/2011 07:22 - United States

Today, I arrived at the beach for a week's vacation. I walk on the beach only to find they are "rebuilding" it. They have heavy machinery all over the place, they work 24/7, and this only happens every 15 years. Glad I picked this week. FML

Today, I was looking forward to languishing on the beach for a few days of a “much needed vacation” when I literally got called back into work on my way to the beach. FML

Today, the first day of my 4-day weekend, I fell off my scooter. I'll have to spend the rest of my vacation bandaged and away from water. I'm on a beach. FML

Today, my job announced we will be working mandatory 7 days a week for the next 6 weeks, maybe longer. There goes my summer. FML

Today, I came home from work to find construction workers repaving my street. I work the graveyard shift. FML

Today, it was supposed to be payday. Instead, it was the day I found out that, for two weeks, I have been volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, and am not actually employed by a construction company. FML

Today, as I was leaving for a 2-week vacation after working my ass off for 2 years, my area manager handed me a project. It's a 3-week job, and he told me he needs it when I get back. FML

No money, though

Today, after 3 months of quarantine being totally broke, I was finally glad to get back to work. I found out that they no longer need me because "there's no money" to pay me. As I was leaving, I saw freshly renovated rooms, a huge new plasma, and a crowd of workers busy expanding the summer terrace. FML

Time to move

Today, I was trying to relax on the beach after a stressful day, just to overhear a bunch of kids near me start fighting over who pooped in the hole they'd dug in the sand. FML

Today, after being jobless for 2 years, I got a call back for an interview. I was ecstatic until I saw the date. It's the same day I leave for a weeklong, nonrefundable vacation. I applied for the job 6 weeks ago, and since not hearing anything bought the vacation 2 weeks ago. FML

Family is everything

By Anonymous - 26/08/2021 17:01 - United States - Stoughton

Today, I thought I would take my family to the beach for the day. My wife is sitting on the front porch, not talking to me, because after working a 60-hour week, I would rather enjoy my family and the fruits of my labor, rather than help her clean the house that she has spent all week at, doing nothing.

The hard hat that you'll have to wear while tanning will really serve well for picking up members of the opposite sex.

It seems odd that they would do doing serious work on a beach in the summertime. Usually things like that are arranged for the off season. But like everyone else has already said, drive a few miles and find a different stretch of beach. No huge loss.

Years ago, I booked a stay at the "Fountain Blue, Hilton" in Miami Beach. That's directly on the beach line, and it wasn't cheap! Believe me, when making reservations, NO ONE will tell you the beach is closed, and why would you think to ask? Beach erosion is a problem here in Florida and I understand it needed to be fixed. I still had access to the beach further down but if I knew I had to walk sooooo far to get to it, I would have just booked another hotel. So, It does indeed suck for the OP!

Hey on the bright side; you don't have to worry about sun tanning. The construction workers will whistle at you no matter what you're wearing. Take this experience as a good thing!
