I once had a bit of a rant to my friend on IM, about my extremely important US client - who had the same name as him - when he was over from the States and sitting right opposite me.
I was having a right old whinge, then suddenly realised that -*** horror of horrors*** - I was slagging off my client, to my client, not my friend at all.
I felt faint, I started to sweat, I begged the earth to swallow me. I even thought about walking out of the office and never coming back.
To this day I don't know how I managed to bullshit my way out it and keep my job.
