Just drowning in it.

Okay, so...about that water cooler bottle problem? It happened again. Being at the end of my rope this morning, I crafted and distributed the following email to the entire office:

Subject: FLIP THE BOTTLE!

Nothing annoys me more at 7 am than to come into the office and find that there’s not enough water in the cooler for eight ounces of hot tea. This I learn, of course, after placing cup with bag in it beneath the little red spigot and having only enough water come out for the teabag to wade in. This has happened FOUR times in the past 10 days or so. When you fill your cup and hear that hissing, empty noise – that means flip it.

I’m especially confused by this; anyone taller than me can see through the bottle bottom that there’s no water in it. Please do the polite thing and replace the bottle before returning to your seat.

t.p.

We'll see how this goes over.UPDATED TO ADD: Here are the responses from the email.

1) "Bwahahahahahaha!!!"
2) "When I saw the subject line I thought you were emailing me a game!"
3) "Next time, call me at home and I'll come flip it for you." (Yeah, right.)
4) "While on that note, please let Tiffany know when you've used the last of a form so that she can print some more."
