I know that feeling. Half of our department smokes.. Every 90 mins or so they are out there for 10-15 mins..
and I get looks for walking to dunkin donuts occasionally to grab a coffee (generally back in 10 mins)... AND I usually work thru lunch..
blah

I used to take smoke breaks outside with the people that smoked. This one time, a manager came out and asked what I was doing.....I said, "taking a smoke break"....he said, "but you don't smoke!!! Get back inside!!".....so I had to start smoking in order to get that extra break. Now I'm sue-ing the company for my addiction. ...See...you can't lose when you use the "Force" against them. 
gone fishin must be a business owner, disregard his remarks....he probably ripped that page out of his hand book too. |
