» The Onosecond

Oops.
My supervisor asked me to put together an e-mail distribution list for some minutes to be sent out to all the commanding officers, union officials and various other big wigs and team members at my organisation.

I'd completed putting the list together and was waiting for the super to return from her fag break before hitting send. So for a laugh I decided to put "this system is a load of bollocks" in the subject title a few times and then copy and paste it using Ctrl C and Ctrl V into the body of the message a few hundred times so the super could have a good laugh at how big and clever I was.

As I had no intention of sending the e-mail I decided to save the message and in a moment of clarity went and pushed what I thought was the save shortcut. I was plesently surprised when greeted with several "read" notifications. Everything started to black out behind my eyes and my stomach started its spin cycle as my boss, his boss, his boss and pretty much ever head of section in the business started opening there e-mails.

fight or flights great when it kicks in and you just sit there shitting yourself...no bonus for me that year then.
