I'm An Idiot: Part Deux

Funny story that.

 

A few years ago I'm given an entire building to look after. It's huge, 5 stories tall and it's right behind Selfridges on Oxford Street, so a fairly high profile building. The former engineer made a mess of loads of things there and generally created a very hostile tension between us and the client. He was punted off of site and I was sent in as the clean up crew.

 

So I get cracking, after about two weeks things are looking good, I've got the emergency lights working, the legionella count is dropping, etc etc. Much commendations, many praise, etc etc.

 

Then one day the power goes out. Entire building, all dead. The building manager comes to me in a huff and all hell breaks loose. Eventually I suss it out and it's down to EDF doing some maintenance on a transformer and blowing a phase.

 

Eventually it's all reset and we're back to normal, but everyone's blaming me.

 

So I get behind my PC and start writing out an email with all the details, explanations, etc etc.

 

I look over it about a hundred times and it looks good (I can't stress how important this email was).

 

Outlook only fucking changed my surname to "Knobbed".

 

My boss saw the humour but I was never seen on that site again.
