When your boss is 15 years younger than you and your CEO is 5 years younger.
And I haven’t reached 50 yet. |

I had one of these:
I had one also. I ran out of wood and proceeded to "decorate" the hardwood floor in my bedroom. I got in significant trouble and never saw that wood-burning set again! |

Man, you did it the hard way. There was a "slider" soda machine at the local airport. We'd take a bottle opener and some straws, drink in place!

There was a Coca-Cola branded one at the YMCA I swam at when I was a kid. (Cool old place, had a banked wooden running track around the top of the swimming pool wing. Got torn down, alas.) The bottles hang in refigerated water. I imagine the machine was (is!) pretty cheap to run.

I had one of those. My hand got pretty hot by the end of the project. Never forget the smell.
