[Eastern Girl]

Another advice thread, I know, but I do need to hear the collective wisdom of CP on this one...

Has anyone ever had to deal with office rumours circulating about themselves? There are a couple of girls in my office, along with myself, that are the center of a couple of unflattering rumours. I didn't worry too much at first, but it's really starting to bother me as they seem to be picking up steam. I am worried about it ruining my reputation around the company, possibly ruining chances at promotions or whatnot. I like this job so I really want to nip this in the bud. Should I approach higher ups and say "there are rumours and they aren't true, just thought you should hear it from me," etc, or just leave it alone? A different course of action altogether? Thoughts, suggestions and general musings on the topic are appreciated and welcomed.
