Today, I woke up early and rushed to work to get to our first weekly safety meeting. I was the only one that remembered. FML

Management mix up

Today, I woke up at 2 a.m. and stayed up the rest of the night. I had to go to work from 3 to 11 and I ended up getting my coworker to leave early. As I was getting ready to leave, I found out that I wasn't scheduled today and that I now have to work this Saturday. FML

Late late late

By Lady Julia KaNeko - 20/06/2019 10:15 - United States - Meridian

Today, after going to bed at a decent time last night so I could get up early, I overslept. Not only that, I thought today was the day of my job interview, so I rushed to get ready and go. As I parked in the parking lot, I realized today was the day before said interview. FML

Today, after having been off due to the holidays, I awoke to several missed calls and texts from my supervisor asking where I was. Fearing losing my job, I drove the entire 2-hour commute thinking I’d missed a day. I hadn't; he was just trying to get my weekly reports early. FML

Perfect timing

Today, I woke up late, didn't shave, didn't have time to iron my clothes, didn't eat breakfast, and ran into the office with beads of sweat running down my face. The meeting had been cancelled. FML

Maybe you should upgrade to one of those fancy alarm clocks that also displays the date, in order to avoid this in the future. Or, you could go retro, and buy a calendar.

Just tell your boss, “I know, I just wanted you to know how much I love this job!”

Aw, that's not that bad! I mean, I have bad sleep patterns because of chronic pain, so I have my phone on 24 hr clock because I'd wake up from a nap, be confused about what day it was and think I was late for work, so it happens!

Other than the small amount of panic that you felt, I'm not sure that this is a major FML. We've all done that at one time or another. Just enjoy the rest of your day off.
