(DIary)
One of those little quality of life improvements.
I bought a desktop ice maker from amazon. Because I run out of ice from the refrigerator all the time. That thing only takes about 15 or 20 minutes to produce enough ice to fill two twelve ounce glasses of ice.
I know it sounds silly but when working at my desk I keep (a) cold brewed decaf coffee, (b) coca cola (c) carbonated water (d) occasionally a Corona, and (e) very very occasionally, a bottle of Jack Daniels or Gentleman Jack and a shot glass.
I start my morning with coffee and carbonated water, transition to carbonated water and cola in the afternoon, and carbonated water in the evening. Later in the evening a couple of times a month I have a bottle of corona. And about once a month before I sleep a bit of jack daniels.
But the ice? It’s just refreshing. 😉 … Though, it increases hydration and so it also means more frequent trips to the men’s room. 😉 But that’s ok. It forces you to take a break. 😉
Small things can improve life.
Traveling for a business, living out of suitcases, and finally living in hotels and tiny apartments overseas, I learned to love a spartan life with minimum ‘things’ to collect, transport, and maintain.
(Personal experience: on top of owning a multinational business, do not buy six cars and two houses especially with acreage if you want to maximize your work and think time. Hopefully the age of ‘stuff’ is coming to an end and the age of ‘people’ will return – albeit slowly.)
But I think the ice maker’s become one of those minimum things. Like an iron for clothing. And of course, all the computer nonsense, and some comfortable and elegant clothes. ;).
PS: I have enough shoes to compete with most women. lol
