Rain Delay Forces Local Office Worker To Pass His Time With Paid Employment

A rather unfortunate series of events has taken place in Betoota’s Old City District today.

With his calendar booked out for extremely important meetings that he can’t be disturbed for, Ben Wilkins has had a late cancellation.

The cancellation comes in the form of a storm cloud over Brisbane’s Gabba on Day 1 of the First Ashes Test against the old foe.

Wilkins said the annoying Rain Delay has since forced him to actually try and fulfil his obligations at his place of paid employment.

“Very frustrating,” sighed the finance worker aimlessly flicking through a few emails and spreadsheets.

“I know a few showers had been flagged as a possibility, but it’s still frustrating.

“Now the rest of the office doesn’t have the distraction of cricket either, so I’m gonna have to look busy”

“Which, is always harder than actually just being busy”

“So I might just plug away until the covers come off”

“Even though I could sit here and listen to Skull all day”

“Ah it’s good to have the cricket back,” he sighed before going to fill his half-full water bottle up again.

More to come.
