Did

Hi, could you please tell me which of the following sentences is correct?

Before I talked to him, I did my job wrong.
Before I talked to him, I was doing my job wrong.

Thank you

They are both correct. The second one is probably better because it indicates that there was a period of time that your work wasn't correct. The first indicates ony one instance.
