Somehow I work for the state, I did a paid course to learn the job, but I omitted the fact that I need a certificate too. I was 100% convinced the course is enough.

All I had to do was to submit some documents and when I found I am liable to a fine I submitted them the next day, but I didn’t stop working on the job.

In a few hours I have to go over there and find out if I get the certificate or not.

The problem is that office is full of women and if they are not in the best mood, I can get a huge fine if they make the suggestion to their superiors.

How should I play this to avoid the fine?
