I am in complete shock. Major happenings at the workplace today, which led to the unexpected "outs-ing" of a fellow sales team member. Proving once again that when the "BIGS" come to town without advance notice, it's a sure thing that someone won't be going home happy.

Bad news travels fast and this one ran faster than a wild fire. Rumors, of course, are rampant ... But it's all speculation. Tomorrow I am sure someone in management will set the story straight ... Or at least explain it as they want us to believe it.

Now begins the tense time of waiting for the other shoe to drop. People will be milling around the halls quietly, as not to draw any unnecessary attention to themselves, worried that one wrong move will result in the subsequent removal of more personal items and the escorted walk to the car. Like walking on eggshells, gone will be the coffee clutches in the hall, the boisterous laughter from the room next door and the devil may care smiles of the daily 9 to 5. Instead vitality will be replaced by a virtual ghost town, silenced by the winds of change.

Well, that will ceratainly put a damper on the festivities tomorrow.

As for me, I'm laying low and keeping my nose clean ... Sometimes it's what you don't know that keeps you out of hot water.
