Option 1 but I'm not sure I can correct it. I think the best course of action is to learn tact and to learn when to not spill your guts. You don't always have to volunteer every piece of information; I find doing that gets me in more trouble than telling a simple truth.

I used to have similar problems. I found that learning to listen more carefully and thoughtfully helps to give a more adequate answer without giving out more information than is asked for or necessary.

I would like to say I am truthful and honorable but I do lie fairly often now that I think about it, stuff like 'oh i was busy thats why i didnt call you back' or 'oh yeah i was working on that forgot to finish it'

Well recently I changed my payscale at my job from high base with low commission to low base, high commission. When I got my next paycheck the accountant had forgotten my low base so I was getting high base and high commission. I let her know and she fixed it and docked my next paycheck to make up the difference :(

Are ethics black and white? I always like to use the litmus test of kant's categorical imperitive.
