This is a question The Onosecond

Wired magazine once defined the 'onosecond' as the time between hitting 'send' and realising that you really didn't mean to send that to your granny.

What inappropriate email/text/photo have you sent to wrong people? Are they speaking to you any more?

Bringing down the capitalists
Now I must apologise since this is not something I'm actually regretting (not yet anyway) But since I found it mildly amusing I think you all will too. Its email related so stick with it... or skip. Its up to you!

I finished my degree and set about making myself useful in the working world. Since my degree was about as useful as one in basket weaving i soon found myself in a local call centre. Apparently after 2 weeks training I was able to chat to idiots (general public) about financial matters such as peps and ISA's. The bosses were chuffing irritating to say the least and wanted explanations to why my lunch break was 1 minute too long!?! Over a period of 8 months I was well and truly cheesed off with the place, and with a place at a new Uni for another (more vocational) course i thought why not email my views to everyone on my last day!

Said day arrived and true to my word and encouraged by a long suffering colleague I sent an email to every mail group i could find both in the company and all subsidiary companies that fell under the organisations banner. Once sent I left rather swiftly to avoid any un-pleasantries that would no doubt arise.

Apparently 5:05 and 2 security guards turn up at my desk to escort me off the premises. 2 days later I get a call from Adecco temping agency (who originally found me the job before I got a permanent contract) to tell me in no uncertain terms that they wouldn't be using me anymore. I'm also not allowed back to the largest employer in the whole of Peterboroughshire and wont be asking for a reference. Still i no longer live there and no longer care

Length and relevance... I cannot apologise enough!!!
