A waiting game

Well nothing happened, absolutely nothing............I'm not sure if I should be relieved or worried.

The manager it turned out was off today and his deputy was pleasantness personified but a strange, almost unnerving atmosphere pervaded the place. Everyone appeared normal on the surface but were to be found hidden away in little huddles, endlessly discussing the situation and expressing their anger, thoughts and concerns.

For my part I decided that for once in my life it was wisest to keep my countenance. If I'm going to have to face the music on this one I don't want my opinions passed on through the grapevine and to become 'modified' as would be inevitable.

So I'm still none the wiser and I'm left playing a waiting game, something I dislike intensely.
