Expensive Mistakes
coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"
No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

It wasn't the whole college
Just my side of the building (the management building). But of course that's where all the big scary powerful people live, so that didn't make it any better.
Apparently it was a safety thing - if one socket blows, all of them on the same circuit (or whatever it is) turn off, to stop electrical fires.
The maintenence guy told me he was pleased to see the safety stuff was working properly :)
