Water Cooler Gossip

As I've mentioned before,our cafe managers meet for an hour just about every other week. We go to a restaurant/bar that's right down the street, get free booze and nachos, and vent to our boss about whatever's been going on- who's annoying who, recent customer complaints- stuff like that. As sort of a peace-keeping mechanism, the meetings are fabulous. No matter what someone's problem is, just getting to talk it out usually settles it. Sometimes I wish that we didn't get all that free beer and nachos because I always eat too much and feel greasy and lethargic afterwards. But that's my biggest complaint about our managers meetings.
Boss lady had some specific issues with our staff at the last meeting, a couple days ago.
She said that there' s been too much gossip circulating through the cafe and she doesn't want to hear about it, that it depletes morale and makes us seem immature- which makes sense. Upon hearing her mention this, I immediately felt queasy knowing that things were being discussed by my co-workers when I'm not around. I haven't really heard any good gossip lately. Maybe I heard people talking about hook-ups and what not a few weeks ago, but not recently. So did this mean that the gossip was about me? I doubt it, knowing my life to be consistently boring I can't imagine anyone would have shit to say about me. I hope, at least.
What then? Trust me, as soon as the meeting was over and I was huddled outside in the cold with my fellow smoker buddies, I demanded to know what was going on that everyone forgot to clue me in on. But boss lady came out to bum drags off of people's cigarettes, so I couldn't milk any info out of my comrades.
After digging deep these past couple days, trying to reestablish myself as part of the "in" crowd, I realize that there was nothing particularly interesting being discussed, just some residual whisperings of Jane's many holiday sex scandals.
I then felt guilty and ashamed for being so intent on knowing all the cafe dirt. Maybe my boss was right about gossip. It is immature, I'll give her that. I wouldn't exactly blame it for bringing down morale, in fact our team morale seems quite in tact at the moment. If I were my boss, the only message about gossip that I'd convey to my employees is "be careful what you say and who you say it to." I.e. don't be so careless that people find out it was you talking behind their backs, and especially make sure your boss doesn't find out that you're the Chatty Cathy in the cafe, sullying everyone's reputation.
Gossip can't stop, it just can't! I am hungry for the most vulgar stories about my co-workers because I want to be constantly entertained. The next time I do something gossip-worthy, I'll be insulted if it goes unnoticed at work. I can dish it out and I can take it. We should all embrace this attitude. It makes work more fun!
