Oh Crap Moments

[WolFish]

I am astounded to find that we do not have such a thread, so here it is and I will start with this morning's Oh Crap moment.

I have two classes at one place and one class at the other place (they cancelled my graduate level classes) which means a nice light summer for me.
Until this morning when I opened my work email to find a reminder for the graduate level class that apparently they uncancelled without telling me. It starts in six days.
Crap.

Every day of my life is an Oh Crap moment.

Not something I did, but the classic oh crap moment is 72.8 seconds into the space shuttle Challenger's flight. The pilot is logged as saying "uh-oh" and then this happens.

Remember back in Feb...the plane that side-swiped the car and clipped the bridge in Taiwan?

The pilot of the TransAsia plane that clipped a bridge and crashed into a river in Taiwan in February admitted to cutting the wrong engine mere moments before the aircraft went down, says a crash report. The crash killed 43 passengers and crew members.

"Wow, pulled back the wrong side throttle," stated Liao Chien-tsung, the 42 year old pilot, just seconds before the crash, according the New York Times.

 
The report confirms that Liao cut power to the wrong engine after the other one lost power, which caused the plane to bank sharply and crash into a river.

Definite "oh crap" moment.

^That certainly qualifies.

I paid for my psychiatrist appointment and left. I got some way down the street when I thought, "Oh crap" and had to run back for my prescription that the receptionist forgot to give me.

I've had many of those due to the insurance company dictating medications regardless of what the doctor says.
They go like this:
MD: here's three months worth of prescriptions.
Me: That's great, but can't I just come pick them up one at a time?
MD: No, just take good care of them.
One month later (time to refill the prescription):
Me: Oh, crap.
Later
Me (on the phone with support staff): Hey, it's me. Would it be possible to get another set of prescriptions?
Them: You lost them again???
Me: Yeah, I, uh, put them in a safe place/safe place until I got home/new safe place because I couldn't remember the old safe place and I can't find them.
Them: OK, we'll talk to the doctor and you can pick them up this afternoon.
One month later (time to refill the prescription):
Me: Oh, crap....

Apothecary here will have an oh crap moment tomorrow, when I call them.

Psych faxed them prescription for the next three months. Usually we can pick it up in monthly batches, after a call first.

Called them yesterday. Kid picked them up, came home with six months stock of meds. Insurance already got the bill they said. Someone fucked up there. Asked kid who had helped her. She said someone really young. N00b mistake.

Will call them to clear this up. Don't want the local apothecary to get into trouble because of this. It's great not to have to go to a different town to pick up meds.

I had to make a rush appointment with any GP at my doctor's practice to get replacement prescriptions for ones I had lost. Couldn't get in to see my regular GP because I have to book it at least a week ahead. I got the prescriptions... only to go home and find my lost ones on top of the freezer. How they got there I don't know, must have put them there in an ADHD haze.

Oh crap. I was supposed to contact my GP to get a prescription.

He's one I get from time to time,  I all happy and satisfied about finally finishing fixing something then I notice I have extra part that I missed that had fallen on the floor

That's not an oh crap moment, that's improving the original construction.

[WolFish]

Crap.
They did it again.
They cancelled my lower level research methods class and now it's on again. That means 4 instead of 3 classes for the rest of summer. And I will need to be disciplined instead of lazy.

I have to be in two places at once in a few weeks from now and I'm trying to figure out which one to cancel.

[Jack]

Have been an will be in two places at once all month.
