Keeping Secrets!

Don't you just HATE when you are asked to keep a secret - a GOOD secret that you want to share with the world? I feel like a human pressure cooker whose top is going to explode...........but keep the secret I will.............until I'm told I can tell.

I remember as a child NOT being able to EVER keep a secret. My brothers and sister would avoid me like the plague if they were doing something they shouldn't or something they didn't want told...............oh my, I had a hard time then.

Ironically though, in the business world I knew so many highly sensitive, "top secret" things. Especially when I worked for a defense contractor and had a crypto clearance. It NEVER occurred to me to divulge any of it - even to this day. I also knew many things from private clients that was confidential information relating to finances etc. and again, it never occurred to me to divulge that info.

BUT today I'm having to be quiet - keep my lips pressed together, and NOT call anyone who is a close friend..................or blog about it...............I promised.

Sorry Mam, but to tell people you saw cyrpto material is a violation of the agreement you signed when you began work.

Please report to Guantanamo immediately!

Hi Babs, I haven't commented in awhile, but been reading along. It sounds like you have always known the difference between something truly confidential and stuff that other people (such as wayward sibs) didn't want known. I always want to share happy news with everyone, but then again if I was a private person, I wouldn't have a blog would I?
regards,
Theresa

OK. It's one of two things, and I think I know which.

My guess is you are going to be a grandmother again - is there a prize?

Babs said...

Oh Big Brother - I don't NEED any more siblings! PUHleez..........Yup Todd, I STAY in trouble.
Interestingly Theresa, believe it or not, I AM a private person. People in San Miguel don't 1/10th as much as ya'll do! The blog is my alter ego........
Oh Steve, you and Calypso are too smart..........possibly for your own good sometime? Just kidding!

Calypso - a prize.........hmmm, I'll think about that......
