You could've just plugged the hard drive on another PC. : /Except there was basically no way to get the data off this fucking thing. It had no network card, no CD burner and no drivers for USB storage devices. I decided probably the easiest way would be to install some USB storage drivers, so I got some off a reputable site I knew, burned them to a CD and installed them.

The Outsider said:I work as a projectionist, and I dropped a print of the newest Harry Potter as I was trying to move it around. It took about three hours to put back together, and fortunately, it happened after all showings were ran so I was just there until 3 in the morning fixing it. Found out the next day that one of the reels I put back on trying to fix it was upside down, so we had a few unhappy customers during the first show the next morning. Someone else fixed it pretty easily though, fortunately.
I also accidentally scratched a print of Cowboys and Aliens. We had to order another print, which ran us a couple grand, I think. I didn't have to pay anything for it myself, they just kinda made me feel bad about it. Movie sucked anyway, so I still say I was doing a favor to everyone.

DaCocoBrova,
I understand, but I feel like I've been taken advantage of. You used me as a referral (and I provided a glowing response) and then weren't truthful when I asked about it. We all use jobs as stepping stones but I at least thought you would be honest with me about your decisions. If I wanted to prevent you from leaving I would have said you were unreliable and your integrity was in question. Oh well, it is what it is and everyone is replaceable. I just thought there was some degree of friendship there.
Acidote said:I let my boss handle some vbs we execute through scheduled tasks to update some prices on a website, it's a crappy solution someone though of and we've been using it since he did it. It's awful but we have to work with that crap, so everytime a new range of prices is added we have to change something here and there.
My boss told me he didn't like the way I did it (search & replace of a few strings twice a year), and dropped a few harsh words I didn't like, so I said: 'OK, do it yourself so I can learn, tell me when you're done'. And that was my biggest fuckup, because the fucking idiot had lost more than 12k euros by the time I got to the office the next day as the website was offering everything on certain dates at 0 . I fixed it asap, without an apology, a thank you or anything, the idiot wasn't fired and we had suffer a huge cut on our spendings for the next year.
