Gossip can have a life of its own, so don't be surprised if you find out about something shocking that you're (supposedly) involved in today. Take the initiative and do some damage control before things get too far out of hand. The cat's already out of the bag -- and has since morphed into a strange animal -- but you can still reach the people who matter and set the record straight. Your reputation won't suffer ... if anything, the extra attention might increase your clout. (Great!!!!)
