Haha, I love those times when stuff happens at exactly the worst moment possible, leaving you in an almost-comical state of near-trouble so extreme you'd scoff at it if it was on TV .
For example - say you've got an important interview, then spill coffee or tomato ketchup or whatever you your shirt, only to find you've got no other shirts AT ALL!!! (dun dun DUN) but luckily the spillage is only on a part of the shirt which is covered by your jacket/tie, so you go through the entire interview careful not to let the jacket/tie move and thereby save teh day at the cost of several sets of underware and weeks of nightmares afterwards!
So ok, all that said, here's my dilemma - I've got a big inspection tomorow morning, new staffie coming in who'll likely want to shake things up a bit by pointing out every flaw possible in our kit, thereby looking all military-like
So I get my best kit to the laundry yesterday, so I'll be sure its clean etc etc, anyway, long story short, its christmas, haven't been using that laundry in a few weeks, so I FORGET THE LAUNDRY SHUTS EARLY ON A SATURDAY
:eek2: :eek2: :eek2:
Yes, so my kits in the laundry, which doesn't open until an hour after the inspection tomorow, and even if I was brad pit crossed with arnie (sorry to let you down girls), I dont think turning up in my boxers is going to cut it
Luckily, I have enough kit to muddle through - hopefully - (backup kit to the rescue!) but for those few moments it was like the world had turned upside down Will post tomorow to let you all know how I get on, but I just wondered in the meantime if everyone else could post similar moments so I don't feel like such a prat
Its still bloody funny though, just prefer it when its not me!
