what's the most embarrassing thing you've *almost* done at work, but just had a lucky escape?

it's never gone wrong for me yet, but it relieves stress to make the odd 'aside' to customers after using the power of the 'secrecy' button.

My "accounts down the back of the photocopier" story brings the accountancy firm stories flooding back. There was a manager at the firm called Katy and one of my colleagues didn't like her and so always called her "Catty". One day I walked into the office to find that there was a note from this colleague saying "Catty rang". So I rang Katy, who asked me to bring some files over to her office in another part of the building. This I duly did, and was just about to hand them over to her when I noticed that I'd stuck the Post-it note saying "Catty rang" to the front of the top file! I whipped it off just in time, before handing the files to Katy.

I almost had to "rub one out" in the bathroom one day but decided it was best if it was done at home. Plus i was scared they had security cameras in there.

Bring the entire fuel shearing operation at THORP, Sellafield to a halt by hitting an interrupt key on the head-end console.

Oh hang on, that wasn't *almost*, was it?

called my boss a cunt in an email, then seen her coming, pressed "send" and waited a hideous couple of seconds for it to disappear from my screen. She was a cunt, though.
