There’s a word in Japanese, “nomunication”; it’s a portmanteau of the verb nomu (飲む to drink), and communication with which it rhymes. It describes the team-building and bonding that happens when the boss takes everyone out for a social night and covers the bar tab.

This is precisely what a healthy proportion of Anchor was out doing last night, along with some very good customers of ours. The Slip Inn is just a hop, skip and a server-reboot away from our offices on York St., and their courtyard out the back was a very cosy place to relax even with the rain pouring down outside.

We decided it was time to call it quits when the bar tab hit $1337.60. And that, dear reader, is how we roll.
