2, and they're tied.
1) First month on the job at a bank processing center, I made the bank miss the nightly deposit, meaning they had to borrow money to cover outstanding transactions. It cost them about $35K.
2) First time in the cleanroom at current job, I'm trying to take pictures of a wafer and dropped the camera on the wafer, destroying it. Estimated cost about $100K.
Didn't get fired or even disciplined for either one. But learned.

You'll know you're old when you tell the MP3s had to be loaded onto the player in the snow, uphill, and you were just grateful they'd invented music.

My body told my mind to stay the hell off its lawn.
The way you behave when the only audiences youβve ever sat in were Pig Races and Demolition Derbies.
Trying to find people I relate to on Mastodon. Please boost if you:
-don't believe in palindromes.
-once saw a psychic who told you that you will die in a tragic mini golf accident.
-think that cops should give you one chance to rock, paper, scissors your way out of a speeding ticket.
-microdose bananas to keep your potassium levels stable.
-constantly say sorry whenever you're walking just in case you bump into a ghost.
I do sing the anthem (off-key, and with a suspect falsetto for that high note. Hey, we can't all be Prince! Some of us have to be Barry White. OK Biz Markie).
But I'm making an informed choice, because I know white US history.
I don't judge Black folk or folk of any color that choose not to sing it, as "un-American" or "un-patriotic."
For some folk, American patriotism means unquestioning loyalty to the ideals of a white supremacist America. For them, anti-racism itself, is anti-America.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
