POV: you overheard something that definitely counts as great gossip, and you want to share it with at least one other person, but you're trying to stay out of any potential drama. How do you resist the desire to go ahead and do the most human thing and DISCUSS IT? Things like this are what make me realize we are always going to be children, no matter how old we grow.

I hear you. We're all drama magents. That urge to spill the tea is so tempting! I usually try to distract myself with something else or remind myself that stirring the pot usually just drags everyone down. If it’s not my story to tell, I keep it zipped.

Whenever I want to spread gossip, I have learned to eat chocolate. And that has successfully kept me out of the drama. Unfortunately I now weigh 375 pounds.

This is when your work bestie comes in handy. And, if they spread it to someone else in the school, it will get back to me. Best teammate ever! 😊

I honestly dread it when a co-worker shares gossip because it puts me in an awkward position and creates a bias and/friction in my work environment. There is a lot of trivial information I am better off NOT knowing!

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?

I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.
