Secrets
I think I should find another job.

We had a "team building" day yesterday as we have had a new starter (Head of Legal UK) whose management skills are more akin to those found in a Primary School playground than those that should be in evidence in a mature organisation. An event of utter pointlessness made only partially bearable by making mischief.

At one point, shortly before it all ended in acrimony, we were told to write a secret about ourselves and put it in a hat. The organiser was to then extract the secret and we all had to work out whose secret it was.

I must say I was utterly honest (for a change) and wrote my secret on my card and put it into the hat. As you know I don't have a great deal of imagination so my secret was very obvious.

I had no idea that, distracted by her slight manliness appearance, her obsession with her femininity and her coltish flirtation so many people would guess that my secret was actually the secret of the new Head of Legal UK.

After all, I really was born a man and have a beard to prove it.

I really don't think that these team building exercises are a good idea at all.

What secrets do you have?
