What's the worst you've ever messed something up at your job?
Edit: For 5 BTC (Yes five BTC) I will entertain you with the story.

This exciting, dangerous episode is in the past where it will remain buried forever.  Cheesy

While a lab tech at Swift Premium in St. Charles, IL, I once processed a chamber of $60K worth of sausage to a different casing setting. Needless to say, casings where still strung up but the meat, et al. was on the floor, whereupon the electric forklift scooped it all up and was re-processed into IP Farmer, then shipped to Puerto Rico to minimize the lost.

At the same plant, at about the same time frame, though I didn't do it, a quarter of a million dollars of kangaroo meat came in that wasn't ordered. What was ordered was horse from Australia. The kangaroo was sold at a discounted price to White Castle. Sounds far-fetched, but is a true story.

I would still be working there if they didn't force me to go to the Playboy Club in Wisconsin. Also true. Somehow corporate in Chicago didn't take too kindly to what I did there. BTW, it had nothing to do with drinking, the girls, and damage to property.

What was the destination country for the horse meat sausage? (if the proper order had arrived)

You should do regulars backups. Most don't see the importance of this, until they get burned.

No wild office sex adventures on my side, however early on in my career I fucked up a tender quote that I prepared, I miscalculated the total price of hardware by $40,000. I only realized it after the deal was sealed and we couldn't change the price. The client was also surprised about the low price but they kept silent. Even though i was real close to My boss he was furious and didn't talk to me for a week. I pretty much assumed I'll be fired as the firm had to take a $40K loss on the deal.

Eventually my boss forgave me and I wasn't fired, I made up for the loss in future deals so things got sorted out eventually.

I fucked one of the girls from another department, in my office. We continued to fuck for 6 months (generally outside of the office), until HR found out. They gave us a day warning that we were going to be fired, mainly so I could tell my wife who worked at the company before she found out from everyone else. I'm now divorced, and engaged to the girl.

You aren't allowed to have a relationship with a worker?

It was considered below the ethical standards of the company. I don't disagree with them.

I was just asking. So you essentially cheated when you were married?

At least the company has ethical standards and attempts to apply them.

Yes, on a coworker with a coworker. Had it not been coworkers, I can't imagine I would have been fired.

Well obviously you wouldn't get fired in that case, but why did you cheat with a coworker? Weren't you scared that your wife would find out?
