So, the water cooler in the office. You know the type - big huge bottle on top, refrigeration mechanism inside so you can press down a button and get tasty spring water chilled to perfection. We've got a pair of them here at the office and they work nicely. I've worked with a few that could do piping hot water for your oatmeal or whatever, but these don't have that ability. They just chill the water. Changing the bottles is a real pain, of course, but we suck up and try to do it. Some are better than others and like the whole lugging-the-jug thing and make the best effort to switch them out as quickly as possible.

Some aren't so good at it.

Currently, there's a nice-sized puddle and I hear people sloshing through it all the time. Nobody's confessed to trying to switch out the bottle, either. (No, it's not me. I'm a bottle ninja.)

I've got theories though. Unless Leo's developed a bladder problem, he's my suspected culprit.
