The Secret

Yesterday morning, among all of the frantic chatter in my office, my boss called. We discussed the problem that was happening and she told me that she already had a solution in place. She told me what the plan was and asked me to keep it a secret. I hate secrets. If no one else knows, I don't want to know either. While everyone was complaining about how nothing is being done, I knew something is, but I can't tell them. Since I knew the secret, I could not join in on the negative office gossip. I was an informed outsider. I just kept repeating that there will be an end to the problem. A secret takes the fun out of a day at the office.
