I just thought I'd chime in on the water plan....

There is No company or informal employee sponsored drinking water in my office either. I haul in the 2.5 gallon jugs from the grocery store once or sometimes twice a week. Could this be considered a form of exercise? Water weighs about 8 lbs a gallon, right?

I've always been a big water drinker - I think I picked it up when I was pregnant - so I'd be lugging those jugs anyway, but probably not as many. Anyway -- a big problem for some might be that the water is not cold enough. When we first got the little tabletop fridge here ~ work I had a bottle swap system going where I'd always have one bottle to drink & others chilling. That became a pain in the bum so I got used to room temperature water. I just use store-bought water bottles over and over again. Sometimes the cleaning staff gets a bit zealous & throws one or two away, but who's counting, right? Freezing bottles sounds like a good solution - especially if you have time to do pre-work preparation.

Best wishes!
