water cooler · Oct 2, 07:26 pm
we recently got a water cooler at the office. you’d think that would revolutionize the type and frequency of conversation we have at the office, but really, it hasn’t provided as much conversation as you might expect.
our water cooler has a blue light that shines down on the area where the water pours out. the light shines down into the water vessel, so when the water streams down from the water jug to the cup it seems cooler, fresher and almost otherworldly. from some icy waterworld. but the good kind of waterworld, not the kevin costner kind.
it feels like our office is more like an office now that we have a watercooler. we had a brita in our office fridge before, so it’s not like we were wandering in an office wasteland before, but now we have an official fluid dispensing device. something you would not likely have in your home. a water cooler is office hardware.
we have people from neighbouring offices – who have no watercooler (the parched souls of the earth) – stop by to drink and make their stab at clever conversation, but you can tell they’re just trying to alleviate their guilt over stealing our water. which is weird, cause we tell them it’s okay, and it’s really cheap. the water.
any suggestions on how to pump up the water cooler chatter?
