You know that gut-wrenching feeling when you have just done something you immediately regret?
I’ve had two in the last month.
I did notice another post where someone on the forum was pre-occupied with a new release of something and instead of working they were putting their time into that and accidentally knocked out 3000 odd servers to their workplace.
What are your ‘oh shit’ moments?
I’ve had two in the last month.
- my first one was being way too busy with work and forgetting to have an environmental clearance certificate signed off before I commenced civil works on a project. Ended up with a decent back and forth with the environmental team and a lot of apologising, but they let me off with a warning and requested an environmental incident report for something extremely minor (a shovel worth of soil had fallen into the bushland off a windrow the contractor created across about 5 metres). I think that was them flexing their muscle as I had messed up.
- the second one was an at fault car crash last week, didn’t see a car on my right at a roundabout as they were basically the same colour as the road and I don’t believe they had their headlights on in the early morning when it was still that twilight darkness, ended up t-boning them in my hire car as I was on holidays. $500 and a hit to my pride out of that one as everyone was okay.
