All this talk of drinking water today has made me thirsty! Been drinking like a fish (been to the restroom a lot too...I gotta bladder about the size of a walnut)... As was said back in one of my "Whiney-Butt" posts; "I firmly believe that employees only follow rules they understand and believe in, that make sense to then to follow... Mandates rarely fill needs well, but require much less energy and thought...And we ought to give the workers a lot more credit..." I like that...but rarely happens. One thing that came to my mind when this water thing came up, is listening to how risky it is to drink water on the floor. Then I started thinking about all the video clips I have seen on TV (like many of you probably have), of the astronauts in the space shuttle chasing little blobs of water inside the spacecraft in zero-g for some photo opportunity...hmmmm...don't think drinking water could get any more riskier than that. Imagine if one of them water blobs got inside a insturment panel or something; "Houston, we have a problem.." "Roger Discovery, what is it?" "Oh, John was playing with his water again and a blob got away from him frying the flight navigation computer..." Just an observation... /((((((()\ ((/// \)) ((/`__ __ ()) /` {_o}^{o_}' \ \_ _\ _/ \ __ / \ '~' / ------WOO-WOO!
