Office pranks, capers etc
I have just been told off for texting in the office and am feeling a little vengeful. Next week is my last week so I think some sort of prank is in order. Ideas, tips, suggestions please? MY BOSS IS A WOMAN.

Alt Q: Worst day at work ever? can't be mum died, can be pen to the eye or toilet paper sticking out the back of your trousers etc.

Seriously though...
My worst day was probably back in my old IBM mainframe programming days. I was writing some code to try to pass data from a PC to a mainframe and then back again. At the time this was leading edge stuff - hard to believe I know.

I had written 2 programs, program A and program B. A called B. However, program B was falling over and program A wasn't handling the news very well and insisted on repeatedly calling program B (which continued to fall over) until some kind of mainframe spool file filled up and the whole frigging mainframe fell over.

End result - the whole company - 1000s of people - ground to a halt for the afternoon, unable to do any work at all. The techie boys were totally mystified as to how I had managed to bring down the entire mainframe through some mere COBOL/CICS commands, and IBM were called in to investigate. Apparently my programs were taken away for further study.

Miraculously I didn't get too much of a bollocking for it, but I was shitting myself all afternoon, awaiting the boss' hand on my shoulder.

Had a good one a few days back. On my own with the entire country calling up about a problem I didn't have time to try and figure out how to fix, then a branch lost power and I was in such a mess that I shut down a totally different branch's server. It was twenty minutes before I noticed and powered it back up, by which time the branch with the power cut had long since discharged their UPS. Mind you, the other branch didn't notice they'd lost their server either, the work-shy shirkers.

... "We put the car on the road while re-arranging the forecourt, and there was a hit'n'run, he's taken off your back bumper, scratched the sides, a wheel is at a funny angle and I think there might be some axil damage.... if you give us your first party insurance details, we can get it sorted..... what do you mean you only have third party?

Ok, worst day
When I worked in the financial services, I had to send out a 30 pension statements to the employees of a welsh company. They all had names like 'Daffyd Gwendoloch' and they all lived at addresses like 'Llanhydrock Lane'.

I sent about 10 of them to the wrong people, which gave away their incomes and pension contributions and personal details. I had a day of angry welsh people phoning up to shout at me.
