At work today, my boss assumed I could work 12-5. We didn't get home from the ER until 5am, then carried the kids to school and I worked 1-2 hrs from home. He thought I could get by on 4 hours when he got 8. I have narcolepsy, severe vitamin deficiencies and anemia. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, my boss decided I take too much time off for medical appointments. He thinks I need to consolidate all my appointments into 2 days a year. I have 3 young kids and my son and I have chronic illnesses. I've missed one day of work due to my son's surgery. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, my boss decided to crack down on my time off used for medical appointments. I'm mainly working for the insurance coverage. Now I can't use it. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, my boss made several calls trying to track down a guy who owed him money. Then he drove across town and ran inside only to catch the guy ducking out the back. This was the result of a business deal that I advised my boss not to make. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, my boss changed my schedule from 7:45-3:45 with no lunch to 8-5 with an hour lunch, because we might miss an important call. We have voicemail. The phone rang 4 times all day, and each was AT&T soliciting business. None of the calls were after noon. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, my boss decided I should work 8-5 with an hour lunch instead of 7:45-3:45 with no lunch. My husband picked me up for lunch. When I returned, my boss was gone. My keys were on my desk and I was locked out. And he missed delivery of a package for the 2nd day in a row. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, as usual, the boss came in my office as I was leaving. It was Friday and I had to deposit my day-late paycheck. He said I had 3 minutes left. He then proceeded yet again to give me a lecture on how I should use my personal iPhone that he doesn't pay for. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I realized my hot/cold spells, of which my male coworkers complain when I adjust the thermostat, may not be due to hot flashes. I discovered a 2 inch open gap at the window top. We've been in the building 14 months and thought it was painted shut. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, a lady came in for an oil change. Her car was completely dented and scraped along one side. And the other side. And she was drunk. Apparently she can't remember it's illegal & dangerous to drink and drive, but she can remember when it's time for an oil change. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I heard the boss mention he had to mail a $9,000 check to our supplier today. We are a manufacturer's representative- they are supposed to pay us. He forgot, however, to pay me my $650 payday check. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, my boss told me about a local incident where a guy driving while talking on his cell phone hit the mailman, killing him. Not five minutes after I left for the day, guess who was calling me on my cell phone? Yep. I'm dumbemployed.
