Revoking The Girl Card

For the first time in a few days I was able to walk outside without getting pelted by rain, it's amazing to see a beautiful blue sky for once. I found myself getting to the office in an amazing mood. Hard to be in a Debbie Downer mood when the sun is shinning bright outside. Little did I know the dark cloud of embarrassment that loomed in my future.

I was sitting at the office a.k.a Gossip Headquarters, working away like the good little Gossiper that I am, when an attractive gentlemen walked through the door. The gentlemen, we will call him Client X, caught the attention of all the ladies in the office. So while he was working on some paperwork I slipped a note to one of my staff that read, "Yes I would like one of those please". I chuckled enjoying my moment of being a 12 year old girl in homeroom again, until my staffer muttered this phrase:

"I know him!"

I chuckled uncomfortably, told her to be good and not say anything, and ducked back into my office. Ah the safety of my little Gossiper Bat Cave. The next thing I know, through a client chattering at me on the phone, I overhear my adorable little staffer telling Client X, "My boss thinks your hot". Wait what did she just say? My lovable little fink then proceeded to tell Client X what my teenage girl post-it note had read. I shook my head and waited.

"I want your Girl Card back, you broke girl code," I snapped at my staffer after Client X was out of the office. She just laughed and told me not to worry about it, that he thought I was cute. Oh okay, right, like that makes it okay to throw another  girl under the the bus. I again demanded her Girl Card back.

Moral of this story gossipers, be very careful who you have your 12 year old girl moments with. You never know who will try to "help you out" and share said moment with someone you may not want it shared with. Looking back it's funny, but at the time I will admit I was about 10 different shades of red. So girls to keep your Girl Card, remember that what's shared with you via a post-it note is confidential.

(I should say that I do love my staffer even though she did very much break the girl code)
