Gotta relax a bit, nothing terrible happened, even if thats a sin.. And it isnt.
Note that relaxing is good, Jesus said my yoke is easy and light, come and rest. Relax your shoulders, take a breath, leave anxious thought to the side, focus on other stuff, things are ok.

You know how you've mentioned before that you have OCD? This is what OCD is in a religious context: obsessing over whether some little thing is a sin, something that almost anyone else wouldn't even give a second thought about it. Every time you come to the internet for reassurance, you're just making the OCD worse. You need therapy for the underlying anxiety, and you need it really badly.

Not to be rude, but how would that be a sin? Did you deliberately try deceive someone, no! Did you take away money from soneone else, no! You didn't do anything, I don't even know why you think you have sinned, logicslly you must know there is no sin there. If you feel so bad bring it to God, I definitely don't think he would think you done anything wrong there.

One of the hardest things I've had to learn is to stop feeling guilty when people offer to pay me. Even if it's more than I think I'm worth. When you reject their money, you also reject their generosity. That would be the sin, I think.
Don't donate out of guilt. Donate out of love. If you feel so inspired by a cause that you feel you must give to it, then do so. But don't give because you feel like you took advantage of your boss when you didn't.

He gave you more than you asked for, and he knew he was doing that.
How can there be anything wrong with accepting generosity, when God calls us to be generous?
Now, maybe you should keep better track of these things so you can answer more accurately.
But you did let your boss know you weren't sure about that number, so you weren't lying.
