Embarrassing moment...

I'm still blushing from what just happened to me today...

I recently started a new job which includes working from a "virtual" office, so I have the ability to bring my laptop to a coffee shop and work from there on occasion. This afternoon I met with an IT consultant at Starbucks who was training me on how to use the features of his organization's website. Rather than use the clunky, slow office laptop I'd been given, I decided to work from my personal laptop since all we were doing was navigating a website.

As it happened, we got to a part where you had to import data from an Excel file into our account, and as part of the demonstration, he clicked on "choose file" to show me the process... and it defaulted to my LSF validations folder where I keep everything I edit for this site. OOPS! All these files with our authors' salacious titles and pen names popped up, and it took me a few seconds to actually realize what we were both looking at! I tried to close the folder as quickly as I could, but I am certain he had to have seen names like English Spanker and bendover, and titles with headmaster, uniform, spanking, buns, etc. And of course the very descriptive title, "Psycho Bitch." (Thanks so much, Rachel Redbum!)

I was mortified, to say the least! He didn't say anything, and neither did I -- and what could I say, anyway? I felt this deep blush rise to my cheeks, heart racing, totally unable to focus on anything he said for a while until I could get my thoughts together. And I'm supposed to meet with the guy again for more training--not sure how to face him now!

So what are your most embarrassing spanking moments?

I've managed to keep most of that sort of thing personal, but I do occasionally wonder if I've accidentally emailed a story to the wrong recipient. Janine to avoid future embarrassment maybe try importing the LSF stuff onto a jump drive and removing it from the laptop, especially if you're using it for work. If he doesn't see it again he may either forget it or think he was just imagining things that first time.

There's really only one direction your "training" can take moving forward, isn't there?

Just goes to show what I always say about working: No good can come of it.

At least the authors and story titles were just words, Janine. Be thankful you are not a guy, since we would not just have words and names, but more likely would have pictures and - if one has sufficient Gigabytes or Terabytes - videos, which leave nothing to the imagination, and can't be mistaken for anything else.

There weren't[b][/b] any pictures on your computer - right?

The one saving grace is that, if he has been an IT consultant for a while, he has probably seen far more embarrassing things on employee and personal PCs, ranging from the aforementioned pictures and videos to links to porn sites, and surfing histories with all kinds of juicy stuff in it. The stuff he saw on yours is likely tame in comparison.

I speak without any personal knowledge of what other people keep on their computers, since mine only has links to church-related sites, such as the Lessons of Saint Februs. Amen.


Perhaps at your next Starbucks meeting, you can offer to buy him some hot cross buns, with "whipped" cream, and see if this gets a reaction from him.

A few days ago I talked to another spanking friend who had had a similar experience, but with pictures. She never called support again...

Occasionally, I have to use my own laptop for presentations I am giving, and I am always a bit nervous about what will end up on the screen. Some programs seem to have a liking for automatically opening "recent" files....

This is why programs like "ccleaner" and others are a spankophile's friend. Oh and sorry about the title

A few years ago, I remember opening Windows Explorer to find a file in 'My documents'; Unusually, the files were displaying as small icons.

I was not aware that one file that I had intended a few weeks previously to write to my detachable drive had ended up on my C: drive instead. There, in the middle of all some work files was a very shapely, reddening bottom, with knickers rolled down to the upper thighs, with a hand heading towards it with full intent!

The nameless young person peering over my shoulder, a girl in her mid-20s, did her best to conceal a giggle and a faint blush. I was not so successful in concealing my embarrassment!

Life imitating art was ne'er so aptly framed ...

... could this be the beginning of a beautiful friendship?

I always try to use incognito windows on my computer. If I do download anything or upload, aftetrwards go back and do another innocuos one to point to a none spanking or embarrassing file. Mind you I always worry when someone looks at my computer in case I have left a trail !!!

Poor Janine!
That was very naughty nevertheless and you know what that means. Grin!
I commend njrick and Seegee's suggestions however.
For me however I keep my work devices separated from the home desktop where all the good stuff get's stashed and mostly on a external hard drive at that.
Now. About that naughtiness.......................................................................... ...........................
