Yeah, when I went on holiday I got a text stating: 14€/Mb.
Being on holiday and not in the mood to go figure out how to turn off data roaming and such, I just left my phone in airplane mode and turned only Wifi on.
Added bonus: I wasn't bothered by any phone calls / texts

I have done that in more enlightened countries but Oz still live in the dark ages in some respects, wifi is not available everywhere and we did not have it where we were staying.

Hmm that does make it a bit difficult.
I had WiFi in the hotel, and that really was enough, I didn't need to be available for anyone or need to read my mails instantly so I just checked them in the evening.

I remember hearing of one Canadian who went down to Florida for 2 weeks and was downloading movies galore etc.... WITHOUT a roaming plan - her bill was in the 70 or 80Ks....

Yes, once bitten...
During Hurricane Wilma, our company lost power, etc.
I traveled up north, and every client called me on my cell.
I did NOT THINK about the minutes. It was pretty much 10hrs/day, every day, on the cell,
sometimes with 3 way calling... For 7 business days...
I was LIT... I called Sprint, they basically said "Tough", you should have pre-purchased extra minutes. I changed my plan to a plan that has a FIXED rate of $0.10/min if I go over my minutes... (Years later, I have never used it).
I turned the bill in on my expense report. I think I was 3,000 minutes over at 0.45/min.
My boss was visibly shaken, but eventually paid it...
After that I have been extremely careful. There should be a setting "After $600.00 shut the phone off!" But you know the phone company doesnt want that.

Which just goes to show that the amount they want to charge is shullbit.
Like a doctor's bill that magically gets negotiated down to 10% of the original once an insurance company gets involved.

Is there a pseudo version of the One and Only MQOTD as well?

Because if he has an IQ larger than his shoe size, he'll notice he's being insulted?
Fortunately, that's not the case with most managers...

It's good - if he gets the insult, I will be fired (and they will eat sh*t for a few years) and that will let me start over (for which I'm looking for a few years, but wife does not approve me to quit)...
If he doesn't get the insult (probably) - so what?!

[With apologies to Franz Werfel and to numerous other writers of parodies on Jacobowsky's philosophy]
There are two possibilities:
You either send the cartoon to your boss or you don't send the cartoon to your boss.
If you don't send the cartoon to your boss, that's good.
If you do send the cartoon to your boss, there are again two possibilities:
Your boss will either fire you or not fire you.
If your boss doesn't fire you, that's good.
If he does fire you, there are again two possibilities:
You will either find a new job or not find a new job.
If you find another job, that's good.
If you don't find another job, there are again two possibilities:
You will either starve to death or not starve to death.
If you don't starve to death, that's good.
If you do starve to death, there are again two possibilities:
You will go either to Heaven or to Hell.
If you go to Heaven, that's good.
If you go to Hell, you will have such a good time renewing old acquaintances, making new friends, and having a hellacious old time, that you won't care where you are.
So... WHY WORRY?
