Recently-Divorced Accounts Manager Setting A Pace That Would Rival Some Of The Horses

The Melbourne Cup is over. Winners rejoice. Everyone else is getting stuck into the bubbly and premium beers.

In fact, at Cup Day events across the country, now is the time of the day where some of the corporate revellers start getting quite lively.

Whether it's the excitable woo-girls from marketing, or the old bull that hasn't missed an open bar for 40 years, everyone's true colours are coming through after an afternoon of socialising.

This is more than evident in the function room at a prominent payroll software sales office in Betoota's Old City District today.

Such as, an open bar and a massive TV broadcasting the Melbourne Cup.

While the younger staff do their best to discreetly power through the free grog while counting down the minutes until they can bail early and meet their friends at a pub, it seems the executives are treating this Cup Day event like it's the biggest day of the year.

And for local Account Director, Billy Joss (44, Betoota Grove) - this might not be his biggest day of the year, but it could be one that he remembers for the rest of time.

Because as of 3:30pm today, Billy is dancing on an office table. He's bringing up old gripes and laughing like a hyena. He keeps telling everyone about his divorce.

His junior colleagues stare in awe as Billy engages in the type of conduct that would see anyone less important sacked immediately.

But he's been around long enough to know that he is far too valuable to let go over some minor indiscretions. If only his wife knew that. She took him for granted you know, and just quietly she's gonna get a shock when she gets back out there and sees how unimpressive her options are, she had it pretty good but was so caught up in the grass being greener elsewhere, personally, some of her friends should shoulder a bit of the blame, especially that loser Michelle, I swear to god just because she's unhappily single because her ex-husband cheated on her, Oi wait up, they're playing Horses! Hahaha... We will flyyyyy, wayyy upp highhhh. Oi sing up everyone! What's the new fellas name? Brett? Brad? Oi Brad sing up!!!
