Proudest Mundane Achievement

[Bellend Sebastian]

My proudest achievement in 20 years of work is fixing a colleague's drawer that hadn't opened properly for as long as anyone could remember.

 

The mechanism was clogged up with paperclips, as it turned out

Most recently, I achieved more rep points than post on FoxesTalk.

 

Pathetic and sad, and something that would be impossible to explain to anyone else without sounding like a lunatic, yes.

 

But after a horrendous couple of months for my mental health it finally felt like a win!

 

Prior to that I drove 10,000km around Botswana, Namibia and Zambia before my car died and I crashed the rental car about 8 years ago.

After getting busted by a couple of teachers for smoking at school, (Beauchamp,under the mobiles)

 

While one of the teachers (Mrs Meek, I believe) was walking about finding more offenders, I flicked a still lit fag end and it went

straight into the hood of her coat, trying not to burst out laughing as the hood smoked away,

I thought I was dead cool,..... feel bad about it now!

Mrs Meek . That name brings back chills. Do you remember a Mr Rathbone?. I'm convinced we were the reason he quit teaching.

Haha, yes old Ratbone, he was so weird, I'm sure he was a Psychologist or something, the way he spoke to

you was really creepy, I think he had all the attributes to be a serial killer.

In my youth, I worked in Kwik Save in Wigston Magna. After we closed one night, we had one of those cheap 'Shoot' plastic footballs. It'd have been the summer of 98, Mas que Nada came on the radio and I somehow managed to do some incredible freestyle kick ups, even going as far as hitting up in the air on one aisle, running round to the next aisle and continuing.

 

I also once scored 5 goals for Oadby Owls against Shepshed.

 

Went to see something filmed at the BBC, we were taken round the back way as we were squeezed in at the last minute. Sheridan Smith walked past us and she definitely checked me out. I know it when someone gives me the look.

I once scored 5 goals for Lutterworth U15's v Charnwood. Then I broke my ankle the following week and was never the same player again

And building an access database with the minimum number of queries possible to achieve desired output. 

 

Where queries are necessary, as many should be select as achievable.

Oh. I used to run cross country nationally for Leicestershire.

The thrill of becoming a "sixer" at Evington cubs.  Thoroughly undeserved, and promotion well beyond my capabilities.

Fell over going down some stairs in a pub in Liverpool stone cold sober at lunchtime.

 

Landed on my front. Held my pint up. Didn't spill a drop.
