    a colleague was doing something similar once, he was talking with a colleague about another colleague's marital problems and also talking with the colleague who was having the marital problems, and he typed in the wrong window and the colleague with the marital problems typed back is that my good lady you are referring to, and then... it all kicked off

    My boss told me to cram it, then it all died down, with some grovelling from me. I didn't get a third extension

    I was once having two IM conversations:

    1 with my boss at the time (a real eejit)
    1 with a mate.

    The boss was being a tuliphead. So I told my mate that he was. Except it wasn't my mate

    D'oh

    started a topic That was close

    That was close

    just writing an email to another Team about a problem with their .Net applications, and accidentally pasted EO's quotation into the email:

    ''Thank God I am a contractor. That is not self congratulation, that is me holding my hand up to heaven and thanking my lucky stars.''


    would have been funny trying to explain that.

    Milan.

Working...
