Topic for Today’s Meeting – Your Personal Life

The other day, I was sitting in my cubicle and I overheard two of my co-workers talking to each other about the marriage of another colleague. They were talking about the personal details of this guy’s marriage. I mean very personal details and issues that are plaguing his marriage. Now granted, this guy should not have divulged his personal life to his co-workers, but they did not need to gossip about it. The only reason I heard all this is because my cubicle is right outside their office. They were talking loud enough that I could hear everything. They were not even whispering or trying to hide it. This is why I keep my mouth shut at work and only divulge what I want them to know, not what they want to know. I rather remain a mystery than be the subject of office gossip.
