Rob182 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Are eyebrows similar to animal fur, in the way that it grows to a certain length and then falls out? If so, an evil dictator could remove the eyebrows of all the people he/she disliked, until they had enough to cover their own body with seemless-eyebrow hair, like an animal. Don't worry, I'm not considering it, it's just a thought I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Bye bye confessions thread. Don't think we should start another, it did get a wee bit "wanky" towards the end. We shall remember though and I'm sure some of us will never live it down. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 It's a shame the confessions thread has gone, I was about to drop a bombshell bigger then my 2008 effort. In future, just straight confessions, no going off topic, and certainly no wankfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Oh, and even if it isn't quite true, make sure you have no gaps in your employment history. This is important. First thing I check when my department are hiring somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 So, I'm in a lot of trouble at work. Or at least I will be in the next few hours, tomorrow morning at the latest. Not entirely sure how I prepare myself for what's going to be the single worst bollocking I've ever had in my life I have had my fair share from birth til now . I guarantee that whatever you have done pales into insignificance with the passage of time . They can't make you pregnant at the end of the day . Don't let it get to you. This is true. However there could not have been a worse time for this to happen in terms of the company I work for. I could potentially have cost us the big contract that was keeping us afloat Now, it wasn't something done through malice or even gross negligence/incompetence, and I've essentially kept us afloat for 2 years in two continents, but that's unlikely to be at the forefront of the conversation It's all quite silly, too. I used the word "asshole" in the header if an article in a magazine which the company we produce it for have taken umbrage with, the one fecking time the company actually read the magazine. Any time other than now that would've been a laughed off thing, but they've only home and told us YESTERDAY that they were putting things on hold to reassess their finances, asking us to propose an alternative solution that costs less to them next week. Essentially, I've given them the perfect reason to walk away - and we can't afford to lose them. The boss hasn't seen the email yet, which basically said they're pulling the magazine from circulation because of it - and I assume they'll refuse to pay for it, leaving a $30k print bill that we can't afford to pay since our profit margins are quite low in this particular agreement. So yeah, as silly and all as it is, it's also pretty serious. I wouldn't mind, but contextually the use of the word was fine, and they're being offended over nothing. I could understand if it was something insanely stupid on my part. But it wasn't... It never even crossed my mind to use another word when proofing it, such was the innocence of its use I ordered 50 boxes of ration packs once (100 per box) instead of 50 individual packs . We still won the war on terror eventually., Shit happens . It certainly does. Didn't go down too poorly internally. Didn't get the bollocking I expected, however I've been put in the firing line and told that I need to speak to the client, and a director at the other company, to smooth things over. Specifically, not to defend it, but explain what happened that it went in there, and tell them I fully accept that it was a poor judgement call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 RIP the Confessions thread. The story of Stevo with the kettle, read on my phone at work, made me laugh out load when I was on a conference call the regional sales managers! Thank god for the mute button.

Xann Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Some people are mental in their teens and twenties, meet up with someone less mental and settle down a bit, with kids maybe. When mental people get together with other mental people, don't calm down and have kids, it's a spiraling vortex of mass mentalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I've just been sick as a dog for no reason at all, I've been pretty **** rough all week with just a real bad cold but I got over that yesterday and today I have only had 2 slices of toast to eat and a few pints, 2 glasses of wine and a bottle of stella, I don't eat before having a drink as a rule because it makes me ill normally, I have had to put the heating on as well because I'm shaking like a shitting dog, it must be the last of the illness working its way out of me whilst I'm relaxed by the drink, I'm switching to the vodka now anyway just to be on the safe side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Well, Brumerican was right. The world didn't end because of my work issue. In fact my boss, and the client, were both about as understanding as could be expected under the circumstances. The client in particular basically said it was just something that made his superiors feel a little uncomfortable, so it had to be acted upon. He actually liked the article idea, just not the one word used in the heading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'd have sacked you and then chucked all your stuff out of the window. (good for you, I'd imagine its a bit of a better weekend coming up than you'd thought) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
