Today, I called in sick at work because I have the flu. This is my first sick day in the 2 years I've worked there. It's also the day the CEO made a surprise visit. My co-workers all got generous salary increases, and some of them promotions. I'm not included, simply because I wasn't there. FML

I was trying to think of some witty and amusing comment to make, but I can't even bring myself to do that. I'd be so pissed if that happened to me!

Just go talk to the CEO, and if they aren't willing to do the same for you, file a complaint.

OP, take the initiative to write the CEO a letter explaining your situation and what occured. Who knows, might get something good from it. Especially if the boss is that generous in a single surprise visit.

This sucks. They should give you what you deserve and not leave you out. Any good boss would have said, oh what can we do for so and so who is sick today but is always here and a great employee..... Hope you get it fixed.

When did something good happening to other people turn into something bad happening to you? You are not any worse off than you were yesterday our of the CEO has not visited at all.

Ouch, that sucks! Do you have any proof of what a good employee you are that you could send the CEO? Positive performance evaluations or written compliments from customers? Hope it works out.

So you're saying that the CEO arbitrarily gave out promotions and raises - and you believed it? FYL

Today, I came out as lesbian and introduced my new girlfriend to my family. My mom angrily told me that I should have waited until my grandparents had died before coming out, and that I was "extremely disrespectful" for making this announcement. I honestly thought everyone would be fine with it. FML

Today, I came home early from business trip to Paris, where I bought an engagement ring. I was going to take my girlfriend of two years out and propose to her. I sneaked into our house as a surprise and… she was having sex with another man. Now I have a ring that I can only return in France. FML

Today, I was in the mood for morning sex, but my wife told me to go wank it off in the bathroom. Three minutes later I was mid-wank when she started banging on the door because I was taking too long, and she needed to pee. FML

Today, my brand-obsessed sister bought $200 shorts. She was cutting the tag off of them in the kitchen and left them on the counter. I went into the kitchen, poured me some coke, and spilled it all over the counter. I thought the shorts were a rag. FML

Today, a state trooper ticketed me after learning I was ticketed for the same offense an hour earlier, namely driving with a broken headlight. The good news is that both tickets will be dismissed if I go to court. The bad news is that I'd have to go to different courthouses at the same time of day. FML

Today, I was cleaning wax out my ears when my wife came barrelling into the bathroom, desperate to pee. The door slammed right into the side of my head and the cotton swab I was using was pushed all the way in and ruptured my eardrum. FML

Today, my mom gave me my Christmas gift. It was a letter containing $200 and a note saying, "Here's the down payment for your apartment, please just move out already." I turned 18 last week. Thanks mom. FML

Today, I ran into my ex's family, and found out they are going to Europe. Funnily enough, so am I. Even funnier is the fact that we are going on the same date, at the same time, on the same flights, and the tour starts on the same day in the same place. FML
