the water cooler

i have access to a most wonderful convenience - the office water cooler. in previous jobs, there was no such thing, so its functionality completely took me by surprise!

Testimonials
- i used to actually pay to have my thirst satisfied throughout the day, but now i walk to the cooler!
- i tried heating up tap water in the microwave once and it was tepid at best. then i discovered the hot water lever on the water cooler, and now i have steaming hot chocolate or tea whenever i want.
- the discovery of the hot water lever opened up a world of possibilities for me, the most important being breakfast. i now have a cup of apple cinnamon oatmeal almost every morning, compliments of the water cooler.

so don't underestimate the water cooler, and never take your water delivery guy for granted - he makes your work environment a better place to be.

and 1 more thing. if you have access to a water cooler (that your company pays to keep filled) what are you doing spending your own money on bottles of water? get yourself a cup and take a walk to the cooler.
Math fact: If you buy just one bottle of water for every day you go to work, assuming that a bottle of water costs $1.25, which is being generous, that's at least $325 a year that you could save!
