I am the biggest IDIOT EVER!

I got a new job... that is not the idiot part. I actually applied to get a position that is 2 paygrades lower then my current position... that is not the idiot part either.

The idiot part is this: It came down to myself and another manager I have worked with in the past. I found out on Friday I got the position and on Monday I was on a conference call and a coworker came over and wrote me a note asking if I got the position. I put the phone on mute and asked her if the other manager received a decline yet and she said yes, so I told her I got the job.

I go back to my conference call, and two seconds later I realize I probably better tell my coworker not to say anything yet because it wasn't announced. So not paying attention I pull up my instant messenger and send her "But don't say anything yet because it isn't announced."

I go back to my call once again until I get a response saying "Wow, Congrats" which catches me off guard being that I already told her and she already said congrats... then I realize the response wasn't from my coworker, it was from the other manager who was up for the position. Awesome, I am the biggest idiot ever! Who does that? Who messages the person they just got a position over and pours salt in the wound? Out of all people for me to accidentally message, I message the one person who it could offend. Her name and my coworkers name both start with "S" and just happen to be next to each other in my messenger, hence the mix up. So after being completely mortified and million apologies I think everything is okay. Although she says its okay, I am sure for at least the next couple months I am going to feel humiliated every time our paths cross.
