Today, it's my first day as the boss, after waiting months for this promotion. Today is also the day my replacement, who I trained for three months, quit. Now I've got two jobs for the price of one. FML

Today, I graduated from college with two undergrad degrees in biochem and wildlife biology, with high distinction. My mom told me she had found me a job at a petting zoo. I thought she was joking. She then said sternly, "I want grandkids. At least you will meet girls there." FML

I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up doing something like this with my new shiny Bachelor's degree, too.

please tell me that you dont think people should just be beating down your door asking to hire you just because you went to a prestigious university. i'm sorry, but the tone of your post sounds like you think you should have a good job just handed to you.

Welcome to 2009, you don't just get handed a job cause you graduated.

#23, that is presumptuous. I followed my own interests and paid my own way for a degree in Ancient Civilizations instead of something easy or practical. I was fortunate to be able to go back for a master's in library science so I can work with classical archives, but still. OP, this is not a FYL or YDI. You found a job. You got the job. You might deserve it for not getting a better internship, or grades, etc., but you have an easy way to make money while you look for something better.

I work in the IT field, and sometimes I feel like that the past seven years of my life was a complete waste.

I know a guy that has a PhD in Astrophysics and can't find a job significantly higher than minimum wage. :D

Today, I finally got my paycheck from working at my minimum wage job for the last three months. I was delighted when I saw it was worth $846. On my way to cash it, I destroyed my car's suspension. It's going to cost almost $800 to fix. FML

Today, my laptop was slow so I used my husband’s laptop. I went to the bedroom and found it opened, so I moved the trackpad and it powered on. The first thing I see is a page with redhead porn, and another tab with nude redheads. You know who else is a redhead? The new girl at his job he tells me not to worry about. FML

Today, there's a company I want to get a job at, and I've worked for a long time to get in. However, I realized that in the test task I'd been doing for almost a month, there was a small mistake in my calculations that makes all my results false. And, of course, I'd already sent this task to HR two days ago. FML

Today, it was time to take graduation cap and gown pics. My cap didn't fit on my head. I'd specifically requested that they make it much larger, but they didn't. When someone tried to force it onto my head, it tore apart. So now I have no graduation cap. I'm so fucking done. Only 2 weeks left. FML
