Min/Max Your Life

In my life, I try to minimize that which I don't much care for and maximize everything I do enjoy.

In this particular situation, I am maximizing my enjoyment of all things mechanic and using every option available to me.  Previously, I have commented on the thin cups in the machines and how I would have to pour the hot liquid into the thicker, insulated foam cups from the cafeteria.  We have gotten a new machine with a lot more features and of course, I took advantage of it right away... resulting in a reduction of waste! yay, Me.

I was talking with someone next to the new coffee/hot chocolate machine. He saw me place a cafeteria cup in the cup are of the machine and start adding money.

"Don't you like the cups they give you?"

~ Oh no, Much too thin!

"Won't the other cup just come right down and cause a mess?"

~ Nope!  This sign, when the machine isn't busy, says "Use your Own Mug!"

"Really?  Wow..."

~  Here its done, take a look at this <Points to LED words scrolling across the machine>

"Wow, I guess some people actually read the signs..."

Yeah, pretty amazing.  I then told him that in some circles I would be a Min/Max-er.  He laughed and agreed, but I think he didn't know what I was talking about when I said Min/Max.

Take every advantage, take the time to learn all the features of the items you use and then use that which you find most desirable.

Min/Max your life, you deserve it ;-)
