Thursday Favourite Fives

[gricerboy]

I thought I'd resurrect this as we haven't done one for a while.

This week's theme is 5 embarrassing things that have happened to you at work. I'll go first:

1) Wearing my shirt inside out on the first day of a contract in a "right on" graphics agency.

2) In the same co. as 1) I starterd taliking to a woman I thought was talking to me about how I got to work in the morning. She wasn't talking to me at all but someone behind & wasn't listening to a word I was saying (also on day 1).
f
3) On day 2 of above contract I went to make a cup of cofee. They had a machine that ground the beans for you & the beans were contained in a giant hopper (I'm talking industrial size) on top of the machine. When I pressed the button to grind, nothing came out so I gave the hopper a little twist & the whole thing came off sending coffee beans everywhere. Then the 2 grils in chagre of marketing came in and I stood ankle deep in coffee beans.

4) At a business lunch I spilled my beer all over the potential client whose business we were trying to attract.

5) On my first day working in a pub I drank a cup of coffee that I thought had been put out for me but it was, in fact the landlady's daughter's.

Just got one - the time I was going for an interview in the afternoon and got soup on my tie at lunch.

So you took your tie off before the interview?

Tradition. Although I'm sure the originator of the Thursday fav fives would be disappointed by this effort.

This is the smokey and the bandit 3 of revival attempts.
