I was so "Careful" that I got sloppy!

I was making some copies of my resume at WORK yesterday because I was both applying for a new job there and interviewing for a different job over lunch. I was so careful that no one saw what I was doing, or the finished work product. I cleared the copier before I went quietly back to my desk and back about my business.

A few minutes later the boss of my boss' boss (three guys above me) walks into my cube and HANDS ME MY RESUME. He says, "Here, you left this original on the copier, whatever it is. I thought you might like to have it back."

Shit!

I collected my thoughts for about 5 seconds and chased after him explaining myself with "Look, this is kind of awkward, and I'm embarrassed about this situation, but I'm applying for a promotion, another job in your department."

He replied with "Oh good. Glad to hear it, I didn't really look at your papers back there."

Dude, it was a big freakin' resume with my name and address

centered in BOLD

on the top of the page. He had to know what it was, or he's an idiot.

Now here's the new worry.... will he mention this to my boss or keep it all hush-hush? I simply don't need my boss to know that I'm looking elsewhere unless I actually SECURE a new job. Then he can know....

The interview later in the day went quite well. But they will be doing second rounds where the top 5 compete for one sole job. Here's hoping!
