Occasional Digest - a story for you

AN office worker excited about her Friday bottle of wine has been tactfully informed that everyone else already got wrecked the day before.  

Emma. not her real name, was rhythmically punching the air and singing “Friday night, party night,” when a colleague asked her to keep it down because his head was throbbing after last night’s whiskey. 

She said: “Thursday night? What the hell? Nobody told me. 

“But I asked around the office and apparently Thursday’s so close to the weekend and nobody really works on Friday anyway so yeah, it seems that I’ve been beginning my boozing a day late for about 18 months. 

“Everyone just said ‘We thought you knew’. How was I meant to guess that everyone’s getting smashed while I’m dutifully keeping my powder dry for the following day? 

“I’ve totally lost my Friday feeling. Now I’m pissed off that I’ve got to wait six days for my Thursday one.” 

Doris, not her real name, added: “I said ‘What about Wednesday?’ and they suddenly got all serious and were like ‘If you’re drinking on a Wednesday night you’ve got a problem Emma,’ as if I was the one pushing boundaries.”
