I'm a temp at her office and she's the best boss I've ever had. But I only got extended every 6 weeks for minimum wage so it was super unstable. I got offered another job that was permanent through another agency. They really needed people because the company had a lot of bad press so they bypassed the interview. 

Someone asked about when the interview was and I just said "a few weeks ago" - knee jerk reaction. I knew everyone knew about the companies failure and didn't want them thinking they only wanted me because they were desperate. Stupid I know. 

So I get to my new job and the agency out right lied about what I could do so I basically got let go. 

I'm now about to have coffee with my old boss and I have to explain to her what happened and that I lied. I feel really stupid, I don't even know why I felt the need to lie.  

Nonetheless, any way I can do it without breaking down any more trust than I have done?
