seperis | well. in my defense, there's this song? stuck in my head.

Some of you might get a kick out of this, and it's weirdly appropriate considering our theme of the month is involuntary outing. Now, sure, we've been talking about, oh, people doing it maliciously.

You know what we haven't covered? Doing it from stupidity.

This is how not to try and do work, answer feedback, chat with a coworker about a test and talk to

amireal and

svmadelyn on AIM.

Specific names removed.

tom (9:24:10 AM): but you don't have to change the cases in any way?
tom(9:24:19 AM): what did the query ask for?
tom (9:44:51 AM): i did the query wrong
tom (9:44:55 AM): i forgot the E
tom (9:45:09 AM): there are a bunch of cases with 006
tom (9:45:15 AM): my bad

This is where it all went hideously wrong.

jenn (9:59:32 AM): whoa.
jenn (9:59:34 AM): The deletion log.
jenn (9:59:37 AM): //removed dialogue regarding FH that shouldn't be repeated//
tom (9:59:53 AM): //name removed// who?
jenn (10:00:01 AM): //name removed//.
jenn (10:00:03 AM): Check this.
jenn (10:00:09 AM): //FH LINK//
jenn (10:02:04 AM): Okay, //name deleted// was deleted, //name removed// was deleted, //name removed// was deleted, //name removed//--and all of OTW
tom (10:03:06 AM): you do know you are talking to me, right?

I will say this. It only took me a full minute to finish panicking.

jenn (10:03:15 AM): Oh, sorry

Let me tell you, trying to explain All of Fandom, slash, the significance of the link, my past nine years in fandom, and slash was--uh. Well.

Okay, what got to me was this:

tom (10:08:27 AM): so you think that it will hurt their reputation if they are found out writing gay literature?

At which time I fell off my chair, nearly broke my ankle, hobbled to his cubicle (CUBICLE) to start this: "Once upon a time there was a Captain who loved a Vulcan very, very much...."

*grins* He called it literature. See why I like him?

I'm going to go--um. Well. Work on some literature, maybe.

*giggles at you*

*rocking back and fourth*

At least you aren't replying into an open document, instead of the IM window. Happened to a couple of coworkers, and was caught by the writers later....

Oooh God. *shudders* That--yeah.

*grins* He called it literature. See why I like him?

Literature... *giggles*

I don't know him, but ♥ ♥ ♥

Hee! He's very cool.

I .....don't think anyone can top this*stares at your post in morbid fascination ,torn between pitying you and laughing her ass off* also, your coworker is cool; literature-hell yes!!*nods in appreciation*

God, if it had been anyone else...*shudders*

"Once upon a time there was a Captain who loved a Vulcan very, very much...."

LOL! Oh I know it was probably embrassing but you made me laugh so much.

*curled up in tight ball* Ohhhhyeah.

Oh God. This is, like, my worst nightmare. I always double- and triple-check before I hit enter while IMing both family and fannish friends at the same time, to ensure total avoidance of cross-contamination.

Still, gay literature. That's fantastic. At least he's cool, right? :-D

I used to do that with mailing lists. Cause once, I totally *did* send an email to the wrong place--with humiliating results.

NEVER AGAIN. Except, y'know, today.

I once saw someone accidentally send a snippet of porn to a public IRC channel instead of to her beta who she talking to privately. There was about a minute of silence. Then she fled.

LOL!

Could have been worse. You could have hit 'reply to all' instead of 'reply to my specific individual friend' and spread your loathing for your plagiarizing dissertation director all over the known academic universe as I saw somebody do on a scholarly listserv a decade ago.

....oh my God.

*shocky*

jumping in mid convo...

I was the receptionist at GE in Shreveport, La. Our plant manager was married with three or four kids and was having an affair everyone new about. Like leave early every Wednesday and Friday for nookie, knew about.

So, in the midst of replying to his mistress's email, instead of just hitting reply to sender, he accidentally hit reply to global. Yes, GLOBAL. As in every single email address associated with General Electric and all it's subsidies. It was all about how he was going to fuck her six ways to Sunday and how he wanted her to go down on him and then fuck him with a strap on. Oh it was just as horrific as it possibly could have been.

He was an asshole anyway but losing his job, his marriage and his mistress all in one fell swoop might have been a bit harsh. Then again...Nah!!

Wow... way to blow up your life, dude.

*BOOM*

(I wonder how many strap-ons were "annonymously" left on his desk before he was booted.)

He never came back. He realized what he'd done and tried to have IT call it back, like there was some sort of undo button. Nearly everyone had already opened it at that point :/ He nearly killed himself trying to get out of the building.

wow.

excuse me for jumping in, but do you live in shreveport right now?

Yes, I'm still here. Um...why?

because i live outside magnolia....not quite an hour and a half away.

i didn't think i'd ever be that close to someone from lj land!

forgive me, i'm just being silly!!!

AWESOME!! There are actually a few of us here and I think one or two in Texarkana. Not a lot, but some :)

Hey, next time you roll down thisaway, you need to give me a ring and we can meet up!

I'd love to host an LJ meet up kind of thing. I think that would be so awesome and I'm always so jealous of those girls in TX that have regular meet ups!!

And you are NOT silly :D

Hey, mind if I friend?

REALLY AWESOME!!!!

i would love to meet up with others from lj land and feel free to friend away!! i'll friend you back.

what brought you to lj anyways? i started out with queer as folk and now i just lurk around. i read my flist almost every day, but i don't post that much even though i'd like to.

I'd love to host an LJ meet up kind of thing. I think that would be so awesome and I'm always so jealous of those girls in TX that have regular meet ups!!

i think that would be neat!! those girls from canada are always meeting up too and i always wanted to go!!!!

Wow, it only took you about five minutes to explain? you type fast!

I was supershort version. *g*

I'll say. I'm still impressed.

Ever since I started doing simultaneous parallel IM windows with my sister, my husband, and my slash cowriter, I've been very, very, *very* careful about what I say in which window to whom. :-)

Ahahahahahaha!!! That is priceless. Thank you for sharing.

Or, you could multitask between OTW work and fiddling with your work resume, and instead of an induction document attach the resume to a mass email to new volunteers.

Thank god I noticed it before I hit "send". *facepalm*

"Once upon a time there was a Captain who loved a Vulcan very, very much...."

aww, the love that will never die! Is something happening with OTW?

Yay! Literature working.

I... cannot even imagine. Oh my god.

*offers booze*

"tom (10:08:27 AM): so you think that it will hurt their reputation if they are found out writing gay literature?"

If both of you are unmarried, you might consider doing something about that. Otherwise, he still seems to be a pretty awesome friend.

~

Well done, you.

*chokes*

I am laughing SO HARD right now.

Tom = Of the Awesome!

Stumbled on this in my hours of link-hopping the posts about this horrifying debacle, and I have to thank you for the laugh. Reminds me of the time that

30toseoul accidentally left a piece of OT4 porn unlocked... when her family regularly reads her LJ.

*falls over dead* Oh man. The only thing I got luck with was that I didn't link him to anything with my username--I just do not want to face the google. And he *would*.

Drifting by via friendsfriends, and just wanted to say that this made me crack up. I kind of fail at multiple IM windows, too. Not too long ago, I had a situation where I sent a few rambling, amused comments about a cracktastic Tony Stark/Jarvis fic, plus link, to a guy I was trying to date instead of to my best friend.

I was mildly horrified by the idea of having to explain gay robot smut to him. The fact that I didn't need to because he already had a working familiarity with fanfiction is probably the reason we ended up dating anyway.

im caught between excruciating horror for your circumstance and uncontrollable laughter.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, do you make me glad chat programs are banned on our work computers. Not that I don't know for a fact at least one coworker has such things, but it was enough to keep me from installing Trillian. Because, yeah, at this workplace there's a vanishingly small handful of people who could follow such an explanation, and I wouldn't relish making it to even them. (Well, maybe the girl fresh out of high school who LJs herself from her cubicle...)

I once accidentally stapled some fic I was writing to the back of an essay, and then *handed it in*. Oh god.

See, I would have rather had that stapled to the back of literature reviews, rather than a Wikipedia page.
~lurky

I did copy/paste a McShep fic once. Into an e-mail. At work. The e-mail was to one of my suppliers. And then I hit "send"...

I was so damn lucky, because it actually bounced back! I still have nightmares about it =)
