Left several jobs to take on a temp to hire job, have been slogging through the trials and tribulations of that and liked it, saw the light at the end of the tunnel...was stressing and having a rough time, coping the best I could and got fired anyways.

Been through the same. For me, the answer was shorter days or Wednesday off. NT's will work full time because the social interactions gives them comfort and recreation... we get nothing out of those, so for us the hours are longer and more boring than for NT's. Talk to your boss, be honest, and see if they will be flexible enough to change your hours around... if you like to get up early. This is sometimes easier to do at private-owned companies where some bosses are more flexible. You can survive on a part time job if you have to.. with some extra training/certification in whatever field you are in you will likely make enough in a couple years to live on your own

It's also an incredibly funny popular website.

Yes, and I honestly a) didn't mean to start an independent thread
b) am glad I did because hey, sharing these funny but unfunny true situations can only be appreciated and understood by my peers. Hey, I made friends, hence making life a little
Less sucky! c) hope it sticks and encourage others to share their very own FML sentiments...

The common format is to express the irritation, irony, travesty, etc. followed by "FML".
Ex.
In trying to find local adult Asperger's/autism support, I am coming up empty handed, directed only to groups who work with children's issues (IEP lecture, for example), asked if I want to lead one (not against the idea but don't know the first thing about support, need guidance! Want Help before I can feel comfortable aiding - my knowledge would be based on Fight Club support group and trust me, nobody wants that), and given lip service by several entities about forming a support group for adults, THEN, the icing on the cake is the very same gal who asked if I could lead later left a message talking r-e-a-l s-l-o-w-like and sounding it all out like I am an imbecile. FML
