Default First day back.

Guess who got an ear bashing at work today.

One of my many duties as a web developer is to take council press releases and post them on their site.

Some get home page prominence like one of today's.


The picture is of the Mayor bending over to lay a wreath.

The headline was supposed to be "Remembrance Day Service"

I typed "Remembrance Day Servics"


You can imagine what my boss heard when it was read back down the phone by an agitated media relations officer.


We had a good laugh about that one.

Shhh... Don't tell the Mayor.

Default re: First day back.

One of our GMs stood up to give a talk to our Technology team Managers (about 50 of us) and wanted to say either "Punters" or "Customers" and came out with ...

Yup ... you guessed it ...

Cunters

As you can imagine, the room exploded with laughter and he won an award for Biggest Blooper at our Tech awards last year.
