Earlier this year we decided that filtered water was no longer optional. We bought a used water cooler (with a built-in fridge no less!) from Kijiji. It has since been professionally cleaned and, despite this maintenance, we believe it is the world’s slowest dispensing water cooler.
For example, here are things that happen faster than filling up an 8 oz glass from the Apis water cooler:
- Printing out a 5-page document from our printer.
- Starting up and logging in to Eve Online.
- Booting up the XBOX.
- Tweeting.
- Printing out a 10-page document from our printer.
- Getting driving directions on Google Maps to our new client in the South East.
- Opening iTunes, going to the iTunes Store, entering a promo code for a free song from Starbucks, and then downloading the song.
- Printing out a 15-page document from our printer.
We’re seriously considering retiring the world’s slower water cooler. Mind you, having now written a blog post about it, I am feeling a bit nostalgic. Like it’s a close friend. A slow, close friend. I feel bad for the little guy. And hey, sixty bucks is sixty bucks, right?
