Buying a new water bottle is not an obvious alternative

Here are som thoughts about my bottle problem. You might ask the obvious question to this. "Why doesn`t he just buy a new one ?" The answere to this is that the fear for purchasing an even worse one is bigger than the desire to find one that functions perfectly.

There are probably way too many product designers and awards for "Water bottle of the year" out there. They all contribute to the abundance of several millions badly designed ones. My shitty one is most likely an award winning bottle of the year on several occasions. It is a very frightening thought.

I am still struggeling with the frickin` waterbottle

Today I tried out several new techniques to solve my big struggle with the new waterbottle. For those who are not updated with this, please look at earlier entries on this blog.

Most of my attemts were disasterous. Not worthy a mention. This water bottle turns out to be a real challenge. I will be very angry if I find out that this particular object has won an award for its design.

I did manage to come up with a couple of promising techniques, but in fear that the HSE department would give me hard times, I chose to reject them. Thanks for nothing HSE department. You make great contributions for making this world stagnate.

Another update on the worst water bottle in the history of this planet.

Today I tried to sit down while leaning towards a wall. It did not work either. I am starting to run out of good options to solve this huge problem in my life. I am tempted to use the bottle in an anti-stress therapy session that is supposed to be a hit among stressed Japanese workers. It has been a soaking wet time at work so far this week.

An update on the water bottle trouble

Here is an update on the big troubles with the crappy, new water bottle. Today I tried out a new technique that included the chair at my desk. Unfortunately it was not a success.

Big trouble with new water bottle

Not much to write about the four, five last weeks. The most interresting thing to mention is that I have bought a new water bottle for work. The old one in plastic gave away a nasty Tsjernobyl pollution taste only 10 nanoseconds after tapping. The new one is in glass and it gives away no bad taste at all. The only probleme is the size of it. The opening is way too big and it looks like I`m in a wet t-shirt competition every time I try to quench my thirst. Even drinking water is now difficult in my life.

Those of us who hate shopping malls

Hating shopping malls can put you in awkward situations.

Here is one of them.

One harmless action with huge consequences.

What a comeback !. The situation is saved and his own self-respect is restored.

Another weekend is over

Only one positive thing to say about this weekend. My favourite ice cream is back in the local grocery store. I have no interest in talking about the other bad stuff like yet again failing to win the big lottery price etc, etc, etc...

For several weeks I have been struggeling with all shorts of silly, stupid flavours. They have all been disappointing. The ice cream business in Norway is in a cul-de-sac.

When I finally had the chance again, I bought two cans. One for Saturday and one for Sunday. I ended up eating them both the very first minutes after arriving back. That`s what I call self-control.
