one particular night, it was about 3am and i was properly fucked. one of the assistants came in and asked if i could send him a copy of a disclosure statement i was doing for AIM (these fucking things are about 200 pages long, NIGHTMARE). i did it.
5 mins later, he's back. "swipe, where is that document?"
i checked my emails. fuuuuuuck. sent to the wrong peter. peter at w h ireland. stupid autocomplete, stupid bleary eyes. who the fuck are w h ireland anyway? i google them. oh marvellous.
i'd only fucking sent a confidential document about a potential float.... to a fucking STOCKBROKER.

I say "An internal or external email?"
You say "External"
I say "I can't, it's in another company's mail system".
And then your fuckup magically becomes my fault, somehow.

turned out the guy was on holiday, so i got his IT department to confirm the email had been deleted unread, and stuck that on the file.
then i confessed to the partner, and said, is there anything else i can or should do? he looked at me. and said quietly:
"yes. don't do it again."
meh he still offered me a job!
