✦ AUGHTY ✦ Optional But Encouraged 5 THE OFFICE NOTICE BOARD. FRIDAY. TEAM DRINKS FRIDAY! 6PM 🎉 OPTIONAL BUT ENCOURAGED The Anchor, 6–8pm Optional. But encouraged. So: not optional. So: mandatory with plausible deniability. THE BAR. 7PM. ♪ ♫ ha ha! COLLEAGUE You seem quiet. Doing okay? AUGHTY I'm thinking about how long it would be impolite to leave. I had sparkling water. Nobody questioned this. I consider this one of my few genuine social victories. The weird thing is that I would feel left out had I not received an invitation.
I left at 8:04. I calculated 8pm was the minimum viable attendance. The four minutes were for rounding.
