At my first real programming job I worked 2 weeks on a C project, got a printout and then when I went to copy I copied the wrong direction and wiped everything out. Luckily I had a current printout but still took me a while to get back to where I was.
Lesson learned...frequent backups.

I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Wow. I will be polite and pretend to know what you are talking about. 
Edit: One upvote for being maximally off topic and for a good backup strategy.

Opps meant for this to go on the message blow this concerning the bricked controller. Hmmm working on a SPI class and guess wasn't paying enough attention to what I was doing.

Phew, I thought I'd deciphered part of the girl/owl/bus stand joke and it had affected my brain. 
Turns out it was Mike that had!

Nah it's already to late for me Phil.
Listening to Pink Floyd's new CD, that could be another reason I messed up.

The only way I earn something for a business is when I buy what they're selling.

In a day, certainly somewhere in the hundreds of thousands and probably into $USD1M+

Woah ! That's a chunk of change to toss down the drain !

More like a chunk of change that didn't come up the pipes: Dave's job is to keep a money fountain working. When you're dealing with billion dollar capital investments, and dozens of workers for operation downtime gets horribly expensive really fast.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's peanuts compared to some of the guys 'mistakes'.
Everything from wiping out multi-million dollar compressors and gas turbines to shutting down 40% of the UK's oil and gas output. The latter obviously made a few people upset.

Well, as long as you don't drop the internet. That would be catastrophic.

How's employment safety looking like?
|
|
|
|

From what perspective....people hurting themselves or people's job security?
On the hurting themselves, things are very good, safety is a priority over everything else.
On the jobs, well that is up for debate, there is a skills shortage, but that doesn't remove the risk of an indiustry downturn and investment cuts result in projects pulled and units shutdown due to costs.
Over the next 20 years, decommissioning is going to be the growth arena I feel (in the NS at least).

I was thinking of job security in the perspective that a mistake can make a lot of people freeze in the winter.

For my first company many moons ago, I installed BlackIce on their website on a Friday with the default settings. The site was down for the weekend. Not much money was generated from our website, but still.

Yeah we suffer from 'Friday improvements' too. Also people here like to install major changes just before they go on a two week holiday - leaving the rest of us to mop up.

Learned my lesson.

I am going to bed very early tonight and am so not singing that all night.

Thanks a lot. I was happy never to have seen that video.
