Confidential...meaning revisited

Had one heluva tiring day.After work had to meet some people from some colleges, not students but faculty, placement officers etc. Dinner was an out and out business affair. My friend Ms.J called in the middle, surprised i picked up the phone and told her i was a bit busy and that i would call her back. Well J and i have been friends for ages, and well its jus that she never calls. I dont have a problem with that but still when she does its like snow in Chennai. Anywayz i presumed she called to tell me she was free so we could meet up tomorrow. We were thinking of a movie. I got back home and called back quite happy that we were to meet after a long time. Well apparently she called to tell me that i had discussed something confidential in public. Public being one lady i knew and the confidential info being that a someone she knew from my company dint have a good time abroad.
Whoa... every company has confidential stuff but since when did such shit become that. Well felt something snap inside and knew i was going to blow it soon. So told her that if something was confidential, why the hell should you tell me in the first place. There are millions of things that happen around me..that are really meant to be CONFIDENTIAL...i dont go around discussing it. Well i dont blame Ms J. Those someones shudda been more careful and less judgmental. I dont like people telling me , I TOLD YOU SO. If you told me so then u shudda freaking stressed it or pput a post it on my face. Then id have remembered. Or next time when we talk take a sheet, take a ruler, take a pen. Divide the page into two columns. One as confidential and the other as public knowledge. Fill up both columns. And once you're done...

... LEAVE IT IN THE BATHROOM SO SOMEONE COULD USE IT AS TOILET PAPER!!!
