No. I lost all data on three of my five HD's.

No crash. Just a screwed up program that destroyed the partition tables. My
attempts to fix them failed :-( Oh well! I had nothing to lose by trying to
fix them.

That depends on who you tell where I work. I have found that with one of
the sales mangers, the secret word is 'reality'. He really hates that word
as it destroys all his delusions of how the world runs :-)

My boss frowns upon the use of that word when this dickhead is around.
Needless to say I use it continuously when this dickhead is around :-)

I've failed miserably. I even phoned one on his mobile at home (he was on
holidays) and the blew the shit out of him. With good reason.

Dickheads! The world is full of them.

I didn't have to. One of our spare managers has been seconded into helping
us make sure the stocktake result was accurate (or as close as possible).
He wrote a report about how we are losing stock:

"We ordered cable (value $6700) and had it direct supplied to our
customer as per ........ instructions. This was authorised by ,,,,,,,,
(......'s boss, the reality man above). They failed to invoice the customer
for said goods."

A good functioning sales department that is!!! Fuckwits! We're surrounded by them.

Do I sound a little tense and frustrated to you?
