on being in the know

H: "So I heard in a meeting today that [the head of HR] is retiring in June and [the head of IT] is retiring in December. "

Aaron: *bug-eyed silence*

H: "The person who said it prefaced her remarks by saying that she had been surprised to learn this information a few months ago. I commented that I didn't know until she announced it.

So much for MarComm being in the know."

Aaron: "Clearly, not always. Sometimes. But not often."
