Imagine this, you're stopped for speeding. The officer asks if you've had anything to drink. You answer honestly, "yes, sir, I had a beer 2 hours ago". Next thing you know you're being given a sobriety test on the side of the road (which you pass with flying colors, as proven by the dash cam vidio). But, you're arrested anyway because the officer said your foot wasn't held high enough. A trial is set, and the jury finds you guilty because.... through nervousness you started to give your home address rather than your school address, but corrected yourself immediately, and didn't know the name of the sports bar you were coming from (directed there by passengers, I had never been there and didn't have any plans on going back, the name of the place was unimportant to me).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-87632633572799529702008-02-27T12:13:00.000-05:002008-02-27T12:13:00.000-05:00Rachel, the app was completed in Nov, the charge o...Rachel, the app was completed in Nov, the charge occurred in Dec (if I'm reading the post right...?) so originally there was nothing to disclose.<BR/><BR/>To the emailer: You said "Yes I know, very, very stupid mistake with very serious consequences, which I am dealing with right now." So I expect that if this company does choose to rescind the offer that you won't sulk like you don't deserve such treatment, correct? Only then would I think you have truly learned from this experience and accepted full consequences for your behavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-32912760680443091012008-02-26T22:31:00.000-05:002008-02-26T22:31:00.000-05:00Heh.
