So, I’ve been working on a project for the past few months, and my boss finally emailed me about a potential promotion. I was feeling frustrated with the workload and not seeing much progress, so I vented to a friend in a message, saying “I’m so over this.” I meant to send it to my friend, but I accidentally hit "reply" to the email from my boss instead.

I didn’t even realize until a few minutes later. My heart dropped when I saw the email in my sent folder. I quickly apologized, explaining it was meant to be a private message, but now I feel like I might’ve ruined my chance for the promotion.

TL;DR: Accidentally sent a venting message to my boss about being over the project, which was meant for a friend. Now I feel like I blew my promotion.
