Moist August is in full swing, it has been confirmed.
This comes as a usually chirpy workmate returns from a month of silence to loudly remind everyone that there was talk earlier this week about staff drinks.
Corby Eatons (33) has popped his head into three different offices today asking fellow employees if they are ‘still keen’ for a cold ones in six hours.
“Who’s keen?” he says.
“I think we should pop down to Gilroys at 5 on the dot” he chuckles with an undertone of seriousness.
“Is that still happening?”
“I’m down either way”
Office accountant, Shelley, says she’s not sure why Corby is so keen to organise drinks with a bunch of people who he usually makes a point of not hanging out socially, but she’s got a few theories.
“I think this year was his first Dry July. He completed without a drop, so now he’s as social as ever”
“Eleven in the morning is pretty bloody early to be talking about this”
While it remains unknown if the boss will actually come through and put on a tab at the low-quality corporate pub around the corner, whispers are building that it might be one of those bigger nights that come from out of nowhere.
“I’m keen for anything” says Corby.
“Just gotta get through the next six hours. I might skip lunch so I can start earlier”
