Surprise!

I was in a place of business last week where they have an information desk.

So I stopped and asked about a possible upcoming event which involved the retirement of one of the employees.

Her eyes got big. Her mouth fell open. It was quite obvious that she had not heard the news.

I felt terrible. Who knew that the information lady would not know?? I was told by the employee so I didn't think it was a secret.

Unintended consequences.
