I was made redundant
...so off-topic somewhat, but anyway...

My ex-employers were kind/stupid enough to allow us all -- the entire staff of a magazine that had been sold off to a competitor -- to use our old office as a base for jobhunting (so we could use the fax, 'phones, photocopier etc). This left us free to strip our various PCs down to their cases, raid the software cupboard (it was a computer review magazine) and carry off any review kit that hadn't yet been returned.

However I think my crowning achievement was managing -- through sneaky use of the building's fire escape and rear exit -- to make off with the office laser printer. The thing weighed a bloody ton and I had to walk half a mile with it to catch the bus home.

Yes, I am a shameless, thieving gypsy bastard.

This reminds me of that bit on The IT Crowd when Roy is on the bus with a monitor under his T-shirt :-p

What was the mag, eh eh eh?

Hmm, well I guess I'm probably safe by now
...since it was a dozen years ago now: it was PC Review, and the occasion was its sale from Emap Images to Future Publishing. As I recall the mag survived for a few years after that (with a completely new staff since nobody wanted to leave London for Bath) but was ultimately shut down. Which was a shame, it was a pretty good mag for a while (i.e. while we were working on it :)).
