Tradition. Although I'm sure the originator of the Thursday fav fives would be disappointed by this effort.

This is the smokey and the bandit 3 of revival attempts.

In simpler words, GimpBoy is trying to ape some other legendary poster ?

4 is too few, and 6 too many.

Or, more likely, because it's easier for certain people round here to count them off on one hand, without the added complication of switching to the other hand.

Good job Shaunbhoy wasn't doing it then. It would have been six.

4 is too few, and 6 too many.

Or, more likely, because it's easier for certain people round here to count them off on one hand, without the added complication of wondering why there are some left over

Why 5 ?

Never mind that, let's have your 5.

So you took your tie off before the interview?

I'm a contractor man, I went out an bought a new one.

[Spacecadet]

Just got one - the time I was going for an interview in the afternoon and got soup on my tie at lunch.

Who are you? The last one was before this incarnation of your persona...

I thought I'd resurrect this as we haven't done one for a while.

This week's theme is 5 embarrassing things that have happened to you at work. I'll go first:

1) Wearing my shirt inside out on the first day of a contract in a "right on" graphics agency.

2) In the same co. as 1) I starterd taliking to a woman I thought was talking to me about how I got to work in the morning. She wasn't talking to me at all but someone behind & wasn't listening to a word I was saying (also on day 1).
f
3) On day 2 of above contract I went to make a cup of cofee. They had a machine that ground the beans for you & the beans were contained in a giant hopper (I'm talking industrial size) on top of the machine. When I pressed the button to grind, nothing came out so I gave the hopper a little twist & the whole thing came off sending coffee beans everywhere. Then the 2 grils in chagre of marketing came in and I stood ankle deep in coffee beans.

4) At a business lunch I spilled my beer all over the potential client whose business we were trying to attract.

5) On my first day working in a pub after being sacked from the above job I drank a cup of coffee that I thought had been put out for me but it was, in fact the landlady's daughter's and was sacked again

FTFY
