Hello, Hungry. My Name is Thirsty.

Sure, there's three other water filters on our floor, but the one closest to The Slug's cardboard box inside AP World Headquarters is broken and has been all week. Then yesterday comes news from AP administrative services that there's also a filtration problem in the building and staff should only hydrate from the coffee machines and filtered water stations — which, you know, we couldn't do without, you know, walking to the other side of the building.

The sinks are working fine today, but our closest water filter is still on the fritz. It may look like your everyday watercooler bulletin board, but a spontaneous collage of articles about dehydration, parched imagery and poetic Post-it notes has slowly emerged next to the filter. There's a "Dilbert" cartoon in here somewhere.
