Today's The Day You Skip Out Of Work To Have A Drink

You work hard every day. Yea, as Freddie Mercury so eloquently put it, you work til you ache your bones. And what is your reward? Probably a paycheck, although the way things are going during The Current Crisis even that isn’t necessarily a safe assumption. Anyway, today is the one day a year that we acknowledge the pressures of your labor and the need to ameliorate the anxiety with what is still mankind’s most perfect stress management technique. That’s right, today is National Duck Out For A Drink Day (Observed). Today’s the day you take time for yourself to sneak out to a nearby tavern and knock back a couple beers, slam a few shots, or, depending on how long you think you can linger, treat yourself to a few jumbo cocktails. Be sure to bring a few co-workers with you: National Duck Out For A Drink Day is even more enjoyable if you think about it as a team-building exercise that you’ve put together on your own, where the only “trust falls” are actually stumbles. Remember, if you’re out at the bar during work hours it’s like they’re paying you to drink! Go do us proud, workers of America! If you manage to make it back and are still in any condition to type, tell us your stories in the comments. And make sure somebody brings some mints along for when you go back.
