Something's Due

Two different people came up yesterday asking for information that I know nothing about.

Well, one thinks, simply say "I don't know."

But that easier answer is a little more complicated by the fact that:

a. The people asking are nice.
b. The people asking are management.
c. The information they want is legitimate.
d. Who the hell does know the answer?

They piqued my curiosity. Now I've got to know. So I promised I would "look into it" and, damn!, forgot that I have a reputation for "delivering."

So now I've got something due and I'm not quite sure what it is.

I'm also not quite sure how much anyone cares: the question could be legit, but the motivation behind it may be shaky. Or forgotten by tomorrow. I have no illusions about the memory retention of the company. Ferrets have more stick-to-it power sometimes. But I promised. And I am curious.

Me and the killed cat: curiosity.
