chazzy2501 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 put my bag behind the car whilst looking for something in the boot, forgot bag, reversed for a bit annnnnd plop...
localzuk Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 That's a great start to the day. Now you just need to accidentally wipe all the servers, and you'll have a perfect day...
Smee Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I had a headteacher do that many moons ago, and she went on to be a top ofsted bod! lol
fiza Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 @chazzy2501 - How did you explain that away?? The IT Bod ran over his laptop!!!! You wont live this down with the teaching staff if they find out!!!
Danp Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 put my bag behind the car whilst looking for something in the boot, forgot bag, reversed for a bit annnnnd plop... Oh s**t!
StevieM Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Oh no! Nightmare! (but kind of funny, too. Sorry.)
jmak Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Time to find your inner spin doctor skills Just a really good demonstration of how your back-up procedures work in even the most trying circumstances. You did back it up didn't you? You've also chanced on the perfect timing to implement the Alistair Campbell speciality of finding a good day to bury bad news Today, of all days, no-one will care about something so trivial... First thing that's made me laugh today though....
FN-GM Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 When staff used to have laptops here, 2 people did it in the same week. I have run over my own lunch doing the same thing. Easy done!
jmak Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Not quite the same, but I reversed my car into my wife's (me backing out of the garage, her car on the drive) on a day I had to be early for work and was in a hurry. Very easily done.

bossman Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 @chazzy2501: You've just won "Dipstick of the Week" well done Chaz! Good job it wasn't a Macbook don't think that would have survived and it would have been a lot more expensive to replace Anyway I think you got cast iron gonads for actually admitting it with pictures. Hope your day gets better
Popular Post chazzy2501 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Popular Post Posted November 5, 2013 Going to write an email to the head in a moment... I could spin it as a testament to the ruggedness of the SSD and that it was a deliberate test? This is actually a continuation of yesterdays bad luck. Last lunch time I somehow spilled rice pudding in my lap in the food hall. I had to get rid of it and the longer I waited the worse the stain on my crotch would be. Unfortunately there is only a certain amount of times you can interact with your crotch in a room full of children before people start to question your motives. Somehow I'd also got rice pudding on my hand so when I was removing my crotch pudding I put new pud on my thigh and foot. At this moment I thought "I should keep spare clothes in the boot of my car" 8

Hope your life starts to improve imminitely! Edited November 5, 2013 by gwendes
synaesthesia Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Chin up! At least noone is hurt. Perhaps a little pride but that's easily rebuilt! Must admit to giggling at the rice pudding incident. If it doesn't get staff's tongues wagging then you'll gain a couple of nicknames from the kids! They love a staff mishap.

sparkeh Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Well my wife reversed into me while I was looking at something in the boot, which shortly I ended up in! 3
plexer Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 At this moment I thought "I should keep spare clothes in the boot of my car" Along with spare laptop? Ben

round2it Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I put a pen behind my ear Five mins later member of staff points out the error in my ways The pen had leaked all over my ear and on my shirt and neck. What a mess. Luckily i live across the road and grabbed a shirt and a rater quick shower.
