Duck Out For A Drink This Friday

Consider this advance warning so that you can get your (ahem) ducks in a row: The nation’s favorite new holiday, National Duck Out For A Drink Day, is rapidly approaching. Unfortunately, August 25th, the day the holiday has traditionally been celebrated the last few years, falls on a Saturday this time around, which means we will be celebrating on the Friday before. That’s right, this Friday, August 24th, is National Duck Out For A Drink Day (observed). For those of you unfamiliar with the festivities, a quick primer: To recognize this special occasion, you need only to slip away from work for a quick shot at a nearby bar. (If you have time to down a beer as well then by all means do so, but it is not a requirement.) It’s fifteen minutes out of your life that will almost certainly be the best part of your day and, to top it off, you’re getting paid for it! This is particularly nice for those of you who have Summer Fridays, as you can turn your ducking out into an afternoon-long celebration. Anyway, this Friday: We will all be Ducking Out For A Drink! Start making plans with your colleagues and work-adjacent saloons now so that when the happy day comes you will be completely prepared. I’m going to be in a good mood all week just thinking about this.
