how busy is your office? if very busy, you can shit on the head partner's face and still not be fired.

I think you're fine, but going forward you should rethink your strategy. Most partners would rather have you ask for more time if you need it, if they will get better work product as a result.

Of course, there are times when they just need an answer immediately and cannot wait for it to be perfect. When you get an assignment, you should try to figure out how urgent it is and work appropriately.

One more thing -- the size of the screw up is dependent on how hard it is to see on the face of the document. For instances, typos are generally not a big deal since even your secretary could catch them (if this is your problem, you might consider having her read over your work before you send it out, particularly for letters). Fucking up the law is ALWAYS a big deal.
