'So then, what is your most embarrassing moment at work?'

I was sitting at lunch in the work kitchen, which had the depressing air of student communal living.

A good question, I thought. There was the incident in the hotel sauna while visiting the Düsseldorf shared service centre, but that technically was not at work. It had been 10 years since the 'incident' and it still made Mole shudder.

I did not want to go there.

So the worst moment. The Mole was a young auditor keen to take on the world. Taking on the world was made more difficult having been sent out to an inaccessible part of London to audit a now defunct major supermarket chain head office.
