WHEN WORKING AT THE CONSULADO DE EL SALVADOR I WAS ASKED BY THE CONSUL TO CALL OTTAWA AND SET UP A CONFERENCE CALL BETWEEN THE CONSUL HERE AND THE CONSUL THERE FOR THE NEXT DAY AT ABOUT 10-11am, I TOTALLY FORGET ABOUT THE CALL, THE CONSUL ASKS ME IF I HAVE THE OTHER CONSUL ON THE PHONE AND I SAY " SORRY WHO? I WASNT AWARE YOU WANTED TO SPEAK TO THEM".... HE GAVE ME SO MUCH SH!T AFTER HE GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE OTHER CONSUL....

I have to think about this one. I have so many to choose from.

I have a few Screw Ups.....but a Uncompressible Technical explanation is always a good way to get out.

I used to work for the Biggest Resort Chain in Latino America and we used to post financial staments for the Stocks Market every month.... and After I posted them I realized they were wrong.....but nobody noticed..... I used old data to consolidate them.... Instead the real ones....shhhhhhhhhh

So, what was it? How did you get out of it?


I'm sure I've screwed up bigger than the following anecdote, but this is the only one that comes to mind now.


My first job, ****tiest in the world, secretary of a complete asshoyo. He had asked me early in the day to book him an early flight for the following day. When he came back later in the evening, he asked about his flight. Scatter-brain that I am, I had forgotten to book the flight.


Ass&%$ boss: What do you mean "you forgot'? It was the only thing I asked you to do?!


Me: Well, it was the only thing I forgot.
