How often d'you fuck up at work??

I'm rubbish.

I'm an unorganised, unmotivated, bored, technophobe and I hate my job. I'm meant to be an office manager but I dunno what I'm doing and I fucking hate that photocopy machine. I fuck up reguarly (from tiny things to bigger things).

I want to be a comedy actress

(don't even know if I can act but what the hey...)
 
today only once

mind you it was an invoice for a client that should have been billed 80,000 but instead got billed 800,000

i am kind of hoping they dont notice and just pay up
 
I'm yet to make any really big fuckups - worst case scenario would lead to sick ickle kiddies having their operations cancelled and my work possibly getting sued, which would not be good. So far the worst that's happened is docs having to work some exta hours, which on £80k I think they can cope with . . .

PMSL That’s your new sooper-sooper job too dude!!! :eek:

The girl who walked out has had to have all of the work she’s ever done in the 4 weeks she was here printed out and someone go through it with a tooth comb as it turns out she was the one (I said it was our department) lost the company about 8k.

They said they’re gonna do it to me next and prodded my arm (jokingly) so I said “Fine then you can fucking sack me” :cool:

No, we always have to use the spellchecker in InDesign as well as subbing everything through three people before pages go to press. In fact, I'm doing the final checks on a load of pages right now before they go to repro – and there will be less mistakes than in my previous posts :D
Never trust spell checkers - where I worked previously a secretary had to type "Operatives will be on 12 hour rotating shifts" but neglected to type the 'f' - the spell checker let it go and the tender went to the Customer saying "Operatives will be on 12 hour rotating shits" !!

I may have been exaggerating in a fit of fed upness....

What I said about myself is almost completely true. I've managed to get a lot done this afternoon though and I walked around the city with a letting agent viewing potential new offices - and I think I know which ones suck and which ones rock.

I don't think I hate my job but I am certainly a bit depressed by the whole office city worker in a suit thing, I think that ties in with me losing my rebellious teenage character too....(I'm thinking of taking my labret piercing out)

I still want to be a comedy actress though :rolleyes: :D
 
I get depressed by the suit people too. But I just know that I'm superior, so that makes me feel better. Have you ever seen Onket by day? :D

My fuck ups? I've had documents go to print with things like 'need something more in here', the word arse instead of are, and I once sent an email to a big cheese saying 'can't wait babe'. It was meant for the bf :oops: It could have been much, much worse though :D
 
Only been in my present job three weeks now, but on the first day, i got a letter stuck in franking machine and delivered a tender to the wrong address.

Im still in employment.
 
I dont fuck up very often, usally when I do it is preventable ie I am having an off day and I cant be bothered. The way I see my work place is that my managers are so incompetent, that I don't particulary want to be like them! And when I do make a mistake, I am quite good at sorting it out quickly without many people noticeing.
 
I rarely fuck up to an undoable level, and when I do it's usually someone elses fault.
 
I told my team they were working a 12-8 shift on a Friday when on the shift sheet I had wrote 9-5. In my defence, Monday through to Thursday was 9-5 I still felt sick.

you are Jason my boss arent you?
 
I once spent a week taking hour long lunch breaks after my Dutch boss in a strong accent told me what I now know was "Half an hour for lunch"

I wondered why everyone else keep staring at me as they went back to work so quickly but was to stoned to give a toss!
