Just had the most embarrassing work moment

[MaryPoppins]

That was probably on my first day on my first contract as an Excel "expert". I didn't know that the "a-z/z-a" menu button only reordered the current column, not the whole dataset. I hadn't taken a copy, so had to ask for another one because I'd mucked up the first one within 10 minutes.

Fortunately it was 2000 and affordable IT people were thin on the ground. I could have turned up in my pants and still seen the contract out.

One of my embarrassing moments did involve me walking around with my pants on show

No. More I expect.

Skirt was tucked into knickers. Exposing thick black tights over said knickers, being held in place with a second, hideous pair of purple pants.

As per my original thread on the matter, I bent to get milk out of the fridge in the kitchen area at the top of the open plan office; a lady I didn't know whispered to me that I might want to sort my skirt out.

bless her. Something I've always wondered about that - how could you not feel that it's not right?

On a trip to Paris just for the night, meeting next day and then back. Just had a pair of work trousers and a pair of shorts for the gym later that evening.

Taxi turned up to take us to the train, leant in and clean ripped my suit trousers all the way from the crotch to the knee. The girl I was sharing a taxi with just pissed herself laughing.

Got in the taxi, cool as a cucumber, sat down with laptop across my lap and asked the driver to close the window as their was a slight breeze.

Swapped to a pair of gym shorts, turned up in Paris for the evening do in tight shorts, shirt and tie (popped out first thing to buy new trousers!)

You see, it wasn't a structured pencil skirt. It was a sort of jersey affair, clingy but much thinner material that you can't necessarily feel as much. I was so bandaged up in tights and pants etc I would never have noticed.

Am I getting warm??

Am I getting warm??

Very.

Well.

I came for interview at current clientco, and security said they were going to take my picture for the temporary pass, for some reason I completely ignored the obvious PC camera in front of me and walked over to the door where I'd previously spied an access camera and posed in front of it.

Except it was a hand-wash dispenser.

Even now, I overhear people talking about the idiot that came for interview that thought that the hand-wash dispenser was a camera...
