Today, I went to my first day of work in over 2 years. As I approached the boss, he asked me what my name was. Turned out they hired the wrong person. FML

Enthusiasm and positivity are very good qualities to have! :-) Their loss, it shouldn't be hard for you to find somewhere else to work where they will appreciate you!
