How should I handle my boss being mad at me?

Question

Today I found out I did not get a promotion and found out who did get the job. I told someone in another department because I knew they also applied. They had not found out yet. Later today my supervisor says I have to have a meeting tomorrow because the person I told went and told a bunch of other people. She said supervisors have to tell people they did not get the job before making an annoucement on who is hired. I apologized and toldher I didn't mean to cause a problem. Any suggestions on how to handle the meeting? Could I be fired over this? It was an honest mistake.

You have apologized, so while at the meeting, be professional, and LISTEN  It sounds a little like a power playi, so. Say very little  regardless the reprimand or whatever, listen and when you leave, say Thank you.  
always keep YOUR dignity and polite attitude regardless the reason  for the meeting.
By keeping your dignity and aura of listening, you will come out on top ...

Just explain that you did not know the rule and apologize.

You can always be fired, but you showed very poor skills and poor judgement.
