Possibly.
I did the dumbest thing EVERY the other night. I was working at home...on my home laptop (first mistake) and needed to send an email to my boss and another high-up person in my company. On my home laptop I had two files saved to my desktop:
1. the correct document I needed to attach to my email
2. A document a recruiter had sent me as an "opportunity presentation" outlining the specifics of a job she was trying to recruit me for.
Which one did I attach?
If you picked #2 you are a WINNER!!!!
Yeah, I am obviously a dumbass.
So, my boss calls yesterday morning and the conversation went something like this:
Boss: Chelsea, I don't understand this attachmet that you sent with this email
Me: Oh, I attached the wrong document by accident, I am sending the correct one right now. Sorry for the mistake!
Boss: But what IS this?
Me: Um, errr, ummm....
Boss: Is it work-related?
Me: Umm...ok. Here's the deal. A recruiter was trying to recruit me, butreallytruelyiamnotinterestedandIdon'twanttoleaveIamnot
eventalkingtothemtheycalledmeIdidn'tcallthem!!!
Boss: Well, I am glad that you are not looking to leave. I get calls like that also, they are annoying.
Me: Oh, yes! SO annoying. Nope, I am a happy worker bee! You know me! Sorry for the mistake!
Boss: Please be more careful with attachments, ok?
Me: Oh yes, of course!
Oy... so that was fun. Especially since I had an INTERVIEW (not for that job) yesterday afternoon. (that went well if you were curious, but I won't hear from them for at least a week)
I need a drink.

If you get this awesome new job, your boss is going to give you the Dirtiest Look Ever.
And you know what? If you don't get it, you know now how desperate they are to keep you. So maybe you have a little leverage to make some changes...?
Oh, do you ever need a drink!!
Smooth move!
I'm glad the interview went well - and if you get it of course you can say with a straight face - oh, that was a DIFFERENT job. Completely unrelated to this position. And if your boss doesn't believe you, he can check his email.
