So, who changes the water cooler jug? We had
an unending supply of water jugs in an office I once worked. I could bring my
cup to the cooler at any time during the workday, pull down the lever and
always heard the inevitable glug, glug. And it made me wonder, “Agua supply is
getting low. What do I do if I take the last of this water? Do I, my 5 foot, 3
inch person, have to pick up one of those huge jugs placed at the side of the
water cooler and flip it onto the cooler? How could I do that?” You just know
(or at least I do) there would be massive spillage. So, I finished filling my
cup and sneaked away to my office. I waited two hours. Then, I coyly went back
and peeked at the water level of the cooler. Almost to the top! Cool! Someone
else took on the burden. But who? Who are the mystery people who lug these massive
blue bottles upside down onto the water cooler? I sat right by this watering
hole and I never heard anyone grunting in effort and then hearing a click of
the juggernaut going into the water contraption. And, what happens to the small
amount of water that was in the prior bottle? Is it thrown out? Is it put on
the plants? Does the changer just chug it?
