On my very first job on my very first day, I was supposed to print out an image 
for a client, using a new iteration of our software. I un-tar'd the file from 
tape, changed into the directory, ran the program, and printed the image to a 
slide ($200), then sent it via driver to the client ($400).

The client replied within hours: all our changes were for nothing: he could 
still see banding in the blue gradient.

Well, what happened was that my print command picked up the old software from 
the path instead of the new software in the current directory. I just lost my 
boss $600 and a client... .

Ever since, "." - the current directory - is first in my $(PATH) variable ;-)
