My employer just upgraded our water fountain

[Orrex]

We previously had the standard push-the-button-and-the-water-sprays-in-an-arc design, but the new model included a vertical dispenser for water bottles and larger containers than can conveniently be filled from the arc.

Interestingly, the dispenser also tracks the "number of water bottles saved," and after just five days the total is approaching 700.

We're not an especially large site, with around 400 - 500 employees in the building, but this is a nice feature IMO.


Bravo, employer!

1. We have one of those, too.

The water is super-filtered and tastes great and is nice and cool, but not cold. We are up to almost 70K bottles saved.

2. Will you be getting bidets next?

3. Any water fountain can be a bidet if you lift your leg high enough.

4. You must be popular in the lunch room!

"Hey, you mind grabbing me a cup of water? Oh, it's NightWatcher. Forget it!"

6. I'm only sorry that I was away from my computer and missed this exchange.

7. But if you are golfing, keep your junk out of the ball washers they have scattered around

Those things hurt. Sure they'll wash your business but they scrub too hard.

8. I'm too busy worrying about my grip on the shaft.

Wait. What?

10. We just got a bidet attachment for our toilet.

My youngest daughter has been inviting her friends over to see it. When they ask her what it is she squirts them with it.

11. Imagine the fun if it worked with a remote control

5. My city just put some of those in along the lakefront.

I'm looking forward to using them when the water gets turned on (usually sometime in April).

9. We got one of those, and now most people have water bottles on their desks.

Me included.

Happened fairly quickly, too.

The guy who fills the soda machine was the first one I heard of who noticed the difference.

Bravo to my employer, as well!
