Health and Work: This good enough for ya?

This good enough for ya?

By pukishgirl - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - India

Today, my boss was skeptical when I told her I had a terrible migraine and needed to go home for the day early. I removed all her doubts by puking over her. FML

Today, despite having a stomach bug, I went into work, as my boss is overseas and had warned me not to take any sick leave until she returned. After 4 hours and vomiting twice, I left. She found out and sent me an email bitching me out for coming in sick. FML

Today I was home sick from work because my doctor gave me a new pill that made me throw up violently. My boss called. I thought she was checking on me. She fired me instead. FML

Today, I called in sick for the first time. My boss said that if I didn’t show up, not only would he fire me, but he’d make sure I never find another job for the rest of my life. So I showed up to work with a bucket, puking every five minutes. My boss still made me stay the full nine hours. FML

Today, my boss told me that I'd confessed my love to him last night when he'd held my hair back as I puked. FML

Today, I was feeling terrible so I called in sick to work. My boss refused to believe me and told me he'd fire me if I didn't come in. I dragged myself to work, only to spend most of the day glued to the toilet. Now he says I won't be paid for the day because I barely did any work. FML

Not a morning person

By Anonymous - 30/01/2024 17:00 - United States

Today, I was forced to come in to work early in the morning. For me, that means I will have a pounding migraine, vomiting, and diarrhea for at least the next two weeks. FML

Today, I have food poisoning. My boss told me that if I didn't come into work, I'd be fired. Not 30 minutes after sitting down, I sneezed and shat my pants. My boss still won't let me leave. FML

About that raise…

Today, I finally got the courage to ask my boss why the flowers I got her for her birthday the other day were in the conference room and not her office. She told me she was allergic to them and she had such a bad reaction that it made her go home early. I made my boss sick on her birthday. FML

Asshat

Today, I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. As my boss is an asshat who hates allowing sick leave, I thought I could power through it, but halfway through my workday I sneezed so hard that I threw my back out. I had to go home early and now I can't move without pain. FML

I say F your boss's life. I would much rather be the person puking than the one being puked on.

most people who have never had one just cannot understand how a "headache" can be so insanely painful but it is, oh, it is :(

They also refer to their quaint little "meh, it's there, but it isn't killing me" headaches as migraines, and that makes me want to just go up to their faces and shout, "YO HON, YOU ARE NOT HAVING A MIGRAINE IF YOU'RE FREAKING HUMMING! IT'S AN ITTY BITTY HEADACHE! GET OVER YOURSELF!!!!!!" but I have yet to do so :(

This isn't always the case. I was diagnosed as a migraine sufferer when I was 9 years old, so I know what I am talking about. I have gone to work many, many times with a migraine that wasn't extremely severe, but it made looking at lights uncomfortable. I have had migraines for weeks on end during university exams, and have written them successfully (and I have a 4.0 + GPA).... When I was 13 I ran a 2k race with a severe migraine (I threw up just before), and got I think 9th place out of 200ish people. In most cases, you are right in that many people claim to be experiencing a migraine when they're really not. But don't assume that someone's not experiencing a migraine just because of how they are acting. It's not always the most clear indicator.

Is this an FML for you or the boss? There should be a SDI button.

#35 obviously hasn't had a migraine. I'd rather get puked on then have a migraine so intense it causes me to vomit.

Same with 16. This thread is just full of folks who have never had migraines and can't comprehend how absolutely debilitating they are.

YDI for having a female boss and not putting her back in the kitchen where she belongs, for being so weak-stomached that a little headache makes you puke, for even having a job at all, and for not being able to tough out a little headache. Did you need mommy to tuck you in too, Cupcake?
