Now in this current scenario it has become the topmost promotional item

As per the requirement it is Eco-friendly and biodegradable. It can also be completely recycled. From the past days itself it has gained popularity as a laboratory kit as well as water storage device.

The facts:
I live in Colorado.
I work in an office setting as an account manager.
My office is right next to my boss’ office.
I drink about 128 oz (4 refills of my 32 oz Nalgene bottle) daily while at my desk as I am training for women “figure” bodybuilding competition.
I also have been instructed by my coach to eat every 3 hours for metabolic upkeep.
I work 8-5, M-F.
My boss has officially complained that I use the bathroom too much (about once an hour). And that I get up to eat too often (at 11am and at 3:30pm) – this is not including my hour lunch.Time for prepping meals is 5 minutes each time. (The microwave is my friend).
Being as I work in an office, does the 10 minute break for every 4 hours worked apply to me? Can he technically complain about this??? Isn’t this an OSHA violation?
Thanks in advance!!!!
Thanks for the replies thus far! I have been with this company for years, but have been recently picked on more since I got a promotion and moved my office next to his. When I was out with in cubical-land, I could (as many other do) use the restroom without him noticing. I suspect he is just more aware of me as I have to walk by his office every time I get up, even if it is going to discuss work with a co-worker.
I have not relayed that I am working towards competing but I am sure he is aware as I do leave early once a week for training at a pro gym that is quite a drive. I am a d*mn good worker, so I can’t say that I see his complaints to be anything more than naggy and childish, was simply curious to my rights.
The meals I make are pretty specific and are composed of chicken/tuna/eggs and steamed veggies that I keep in tupperware, pop in the microwave and bring it back to be eaten at my desk. This is a fast process as I don’t spend time lingering around. For arguments sake, we hav
Oh and PS – to Cat Lover:
Encouraging anyone to sit at their desk for 7 hours is ridiculous (excluding the 1 hour lunch) and is not humane – not to mention unrealistic in the workplace, period.
He isn’t paying me to train, but I am peeing and eating, I am not doing push-ups at the fax machine.
Do you like them? I saw them online and I think they look kinda cool. No one sells them where I live so I can’t see one in person. I need to start drinking more water so I want a water bottle.
…switch to
a polyglass one? I don’t know what either polypropylene or polyglass are: are they plastic? Are they safe or will something leach into the food?
I have only found a few of their products that are in fact BPA free. Does anyone know if they are all BPA free? I have the Soothing Circle Teether and the Rattle & Shake Barbell rattle. I just want to be sure that they are safe before I give them to my baby.
Thanks.
I do quite a bit of sports and regularly drink a lot of water. I rinse my water bottle out after each session but can I sterilise it or is it ok just to wash and leave to dry? How often would I have to change it?
Would it be ok put through the dish washer?
Millions of us have used them every day for years!
Are they that bad? Will they pose a health risk and cause us harm?
If you have not heard, they are pulling ALL products made with this kind of plastic – that includes baby bottles too.
What do you think?
The detergent was in there for about three months when the bottle it came in broke and I had to find a replacement. Well, I finally used it all up, and I’ve washed it about eight times with dish soap and it still smells like Ocean Breeze or some shit. Is it safe to drink from? Are the detergent molecules locked in the plastic or is there some method to get rid of the stink? I’d really rather not throw this nalgene out, it’s got such character!
I know you’re not allowed to bring beverages from home (prior to the screening) of greater than 3 oz with you carry-on when doing air travel. How about if I bring an empty water bottle (like a nalgene) and plan to fill it up pass the security from the water fountain..would that work? or is it just the fact that the container itself is larger than 3 ounces and therefore must be checked in? Thanks.

I just bought a number 7 bpa free nalgene bottle and i have heard that number 7 bottles are bad to use but since my bottle is bpa free does that mean it is ok to use?
