Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

First temping jobI'd asked the agency for a straight typing job but I ended up at a lonely reception desk handling the phones for five companies. I didn't know what to say or how to connect calls. After a couple of hours and a lot of cut-off customers, they chucked me out. At least they were nice about it - more angry at the agency (which I left) than me.
