Today, I got fired from the job I'd had for eleven years for going onto Facebook while on the clock. When I got home, I saw that my boss had updated his status, from work, to "Finally fired that bitch." FML

Today, I got fired from my job. My manager found Facebook pictures of me drinking underage at a party. He said he didn't want "that kind of image" associated with the business. It was his birthday party. He supplied the booze. FML

Today, my boss yelled at me for visiting Facebook on my work computer. He says that since I can't be trusted, I'll be supervised from now on. I was uploading pictures to the company's Facebook page, which I have to do once a week as part of my job. FML

Never go public

Today, I learned to keep your posts private on social media. Your boss might find your Facebook status updates saying, “I hate this shitty 9-5, I want to be on a beach with a margarita.” I got a call from him saying, “You’re terminated from the shitty 9-5, so you don’t have to anymore. Enjoy the beach!” FML

It's people like you that I can't stand. YDI. Let me explain myself: If you a responsible adult, you'd know that there is a time to work and to get ahead in life, and a time to comment on some picture that's not even worth my time to explain. You are at work, it means you work. This is something a kid would do on their phone in middle school. Shame on you.

I made the mistake of adding co workers to friends. never ends well, especially since I'm always sarcastic and most are dramatic.

How can you not deserve it? And by the way, your ex-boss is hilarious.

Maybe he saw you on Facebook while looking around and logged in to fire you. He probably thought it would be hilarious.

Today, I found out two things about my new cat: One, he is afraid of thunder. Two, his reaction to hearing a loud thunderclap is to jump very high in the air with his claws extended, then run like hell. I discovered this when he jumped and landed right on my face. My face now looks like I smashed it into a window. FML
