Thanks to that story, I now am no longer to drink water at work. I'm unsure if the bottled water in the report are the 500ml bottles or the 18L jugs. The 18L ones are recyclable as far as i know and not just trashed.
However, our office does have too many watering stations anyway so i'd like to see a limit of 1 per floor instead of the usual 3. Our water stations have a hot water tap too so I can make my tea quickly and get back to work.
Now, i'll have to laze around the kitchen while my water boils. I'll make sure to add just enough water to boil for my own cup, thus allowing my co-workers the opportunity to laze around the kitchen too. At 10:00am there will be a nice lineup of people waiting for the water to boil. We won't be able to work until noon. Then it's lunch time so work will really begin again at 1pm.
This is how I see my job with the feds take shape…thanks for the taxes.
