Today, I messed up by sending my boss a spicy text message that was meant for my boyfriend.

And now, I'm worried that I might be losing my job because at this point, I seriously don't know what to do.

Here's what happened.

Okay, so this literally just happened, and I'm still debating whether to quit my job and move to another country, maybe even change my name too.

For a bit of backstory, my boyfriend and I have been dating for about a year,

and we have this ongoing habit of sending flirty and sometimes slightly suggestive text messages

throughout the day. Nothing too wild, just cute little messages to keep things fun. Well, that is until

today. I was at work absolutely drowning in emails, and my boss had just messaged me about a project

deadline. My stress levels were really high, but in the middle of all that chaos, my boyfriend texted me something really sweet. He said to me, I'm thinking about you and I can't wait to see you tonight. So, in my stressed out multitasking mess of a brain, I quickly typed out a reply. I was just thinking about you too. Can't wait to get my hands on you later. Now, this is innocent enough, right? Well, the problem is that instead of sending it to my boyfriend, I send it to my boss, my 45-year-old, very serious, no-nonsense boss. Now, let me tell you something. There's a very specific kind of panic that hits when you realize you've just sent something wildly inappropriate to the worst person possible.

It's a mix of sheer terror, immediate regret, and the overwhelming desire to disappear into thin air.

As soon as I saw the name at the top of the message, my soul left my body.

I stared at my phone praying that by some miracle, the message hadn't actually gone through.

Maybe my phone glitched, or maybe I imagined it.

But no, it delivered.

I then immediately put my phone on airplane mode, hoping it would somehow delete itself from

existence. And spoiler alert, that's not how technology works. It's at this point I had two choices.

My first one was to pretend like nothing happened and go on with my life as if I didn't just

ruin my career. My second option is quit my job,

move to a remote island, and start a new life as a coconut farmer. While I was contemplating my

options, my boss, who never replies instantly, decided this was the moment to be lightning fast.

My boss said to me, wrong person? And at this point, I think my soul actually left my body for real.

There was no saving this. There was no taking it back. I had two choices. I could own up to it and apologize, or just fake my own death. I went with option number one, even though the second one was very tempting. And I immediately sent back, oh my God, I'm so sorry. That was meant for someone else. Please ignore it. My boss then left me on red for 10 minutes.
