Your Friendly Neighborhood Cup Holder

By Timothy Nebleaux

Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a cup holder would look like? Think its drab and boring? Try again. Its anything but colorless and I mean it literally as well as I hold quite a bit of colorful liquids and beverages of all flavors. Welcome to my world. A world where I am the convenient product that holds your cups while you attend to your work.

For those of you who have trudged to your workplace after getting a drink, you may feel the need to have your drink while you open your mail. If I am there at your desk, you can do this without major effort while you drive away the morning blues with a cup of strong coffee.

For all those who drink beverages while driving, a word of caution as well as help. I'm there to hold your cups, but, isn't it better to have your drink after you have parked your car? Of course, in these days of "hands free" mobile phones, I guess it is ok for you to have your hands free to drive and drink from the cup that I hold occasionally.

I can be used for hands free as well as when your hands are full. Like in having things to do and use your hands and at the same time have your much needed sip. Isn't that what is called a convenient lifestyle?

I may describe myself as the little guy. They say that the little guys at the work place get their dues once in a while. Maybe, you should pat me on the back once in a while. Don't do it with the cup or too hard. It hurts.

Old soldiers never die. They fade away. It is the same with me. I get replaced with younger substitutes and am recycled to become something else. Sometimes, people hold on to me for old time's sake.

Next time you see me somewhere, pat me on the back for all that I do to help you in your daily life. Don't you think I deserve an occasional thank you? After all, I'm your friendly neighborhood cup holder that is dispensable yet indispensable. Now, isn't that something worth acknowledging?
