» That's when I knew it was over...
I knew it was my time at that job..
I worked for a credit card company. I found the section of the network which held emails from people saying "Remove me from your mailing list"..
So as a joke i decided to "pretend" to reply to one and send it internally to a friend...
It read
"Dear Mr.xxxx
Im sorry but we feel we must needlessly spam our clients or i fear our servers will freeze up.
Please accept 10 copies of our newsletters with our compliments.
Cheers
xxxx
I sent it...then realised...i had hit reply...not forward.
Cold dread spreads across body...try to recall, yahoo account...cant recall...
Went home and shit myself all night. Next day admitted all to the director. He was good about it but said it wouldnt end well.
Manager came in VERY pissed off...had disciplinary the next day.
"These are the sections of the company handbook you violeted"
I looked to see 2 pages of purple highlighter.
Yup that was me done.
Worst part was i had worked there ages and even after the managers apologetic "I dont want to fire you" spiel he still had me escorted off the premisis....
Wanker.
P.s. the guy actually got the email and thought it was funny

» Hotel Splendido
Milford Plaza on Broadway in New York
Cant be arsed to retype my review of the hotel i stayed in when i went to NY to work so ill just shamelessly copy and paste what i put up on tripadvisor.
“Danger Will Robinson BED BUGS APPROACHING!”
"This hotel might LOOK nice from the outside but don't be fooled. The room is a claustrophobic nightmare, the TV was old, the view was of a brick wall and the air con was like having a jet engine on....ALL THE TIME. Yup, it never turns off.
They are the good parts.
The real horror of this place lies under the bed, in the cracks of the walls (which i can assure you there are many) or behind the rank PEELING wallpaper. YES the enemy are bedbugs.
The first couple of nights i thought i was itching because maybe they used freaky detergent on the sheets. Well any civilised person would!
I woke up every day with fresh bits and the nice "3 in a row" bites bed bugs leave. I had itching sore spots my whole stay.
They moved me to another room when i complained. BONUS this room had a plasma TV....um but the bathroom was a mould fest and in the corners of the bathroom you could see DRIED BLOOD from the bedbugs previous feasts.
Seriously consider wether paying a few bucks less or being right in Broadway is so important. This hotel was awful, the worst i've ever had the misfortune to stay in. Dont be fooled by their glitzy website."

» Losing Your Virginity
17 years old
Went to a mates house new years eve. His flat mate was there, one thing led to another we were sharing same arm chair...hand ended up in her pants...
Went to the pub...absolutley slaughtered by this time. Got off with her in the pub...she collapsed at the bar once talking to her friend.
Went home with her early, got off again on the sofa. Eventually she said "I'm going to bed". Not taking the hint I stayed downstairs...her flat mate comes home..
Wheres Amy? "In Bed" i reply.. "Why arent you there??" "I wasn't invited"
He does nothing more than stompt to the base of the stairs and bellow "Amy can xxxx come to bed?"
"Yup" the reply comes
Went upstairs, pitch black room..made embarassing small talk for a moment until she said the romantic words "Take em off"
Didnt need telling twice, she got a jonny chucked it to me. Had a bit of a getting up issue intially from all the alchohol but eventually did the business...not very memorable.
Her flat mate told me later "She said you were pretty good" Was pleased with result.
Happy new years eve indeed! Shame her room was like a bag ladies rubbish heap.

» That's me on TV!
Fight Box
Fight box was some wank idea of combining live action with virtual reality. I went along with friends to be in the crowd. What an anticlimax.
Think robot wars...without robots...infact...imagine some cunt telling everyone to yell and cheer at something that wasnt even there. Add in computers which kept crashing.
Only thing which makes me smile on it was knowing i got filmed giving the camera the finger and yelling at the camera and they didnt pick it up in editing :)
