You're right, quincy. OP, the less specific you are at this point the better. And the faster you get everyone else in the company to forget about it, the better. And that is achieved by your saying as little as reasonably possible about the matter ever again.
If you are having this much of a problem with this job, maybe it is time for you to be looking around for other companies you might be interested in working with. Over-involvement is one of the hazards of any workplace, our world gets small and we worry far too much about everything that goes on and is said and happens. But putting out feelers toward other things is part of the cure for all this worry and anguish.
