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 s**t’ 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.
