    Boy did I fck up today

    Did I drop a goolie or what ?
    Working for a software company and they had a serious problem, the users were misusing the file finder screen, and whole folders were being lost or moved.
    My job was to build a file finder that is read only, looks like explorer, has a nice thumby browser, some other bits n pieces.

    So in order to check position in the browser I need a couple of marker pictures (I dont recognise the users sh 1 te)
    so in slot no 1 I put a nice piccy of Dolly Partons best assets , in slot number 100 Pamela Anderson etc.
    I am thinking, 'hundreds od nested folders, noone will see them except me'

    So I did my demo this afternoon, MD starts browsing, 'this is fantastic EO, Fking brill, I love the way the images zoom out at you' .
    'whats that there ? let me zoom in' 'JESUS CHRIST WHATS THAT'

    we are all sitting there looking at a zoomed up pair of Dollys norks.

    Scared to go in tomorrow. What a nobule

          Tell them the image collection was done by a "robot" and you're as embarrassed as they are. You had no idea. Guv.
