This Has Nothing to Do With Pregnancy But I Am Pissed
Posted: 02-07-07 13:11pm

Ok, when I come to work, I do my work. I am normally done with my work by 12.30, unless I am chilling on here. So, then I take on more work or help others with theirs.

So ok, this is nothing against smokers, but:

most of the people I work with are. We get two 15 min breaks for every 8 hours worked. That is fine. I do take mine to feed my daughter something I love. I will do it as long as I can. Well, the smokers have the following rutine:

they come in at 7.30
9.00am they go for a smoke
11.00 am they go for a smoke
12.30 they go for a smoke and then go to lunch until 1.30
2.00 they go for a smoke
3.30 they go for a smoke
and they leave at 4.30.

They are spending more time walking to the elevators, walking to the 'smoking' spot we have here on campus (yes we have a campus) walking back and coming up the elevatiors.......Than they do smoking or working.

This irks me so much.

I can see why you would be pissed about this. I used to smoke, but I never took as many breaks as the other smokers.

I especially hated it when they would all go out for a cigarette and leave the phones to me.....Like I have nothing better to do than answer your calls. Evil or
Very Mad

what some of us did was after they got back from their break we would take one too. We wouldn't go smoke, but we would just go chill for a few minutes, go for a walk, get a soda, whatever. When the boss questioned it we said, "if they can, we can too!" we called it our "non smoke break"

That's so true. It's like, oh I have an addiction, .I'm going to go deal with it, bye. Yeah right. I have a chocolate addiction. I'll go deal with that too. *wave*

We have a mandatory law thingy that says that if you spend 8 hours or more on the comp you should take two 15 min breaks. I just wish if I skipped them I could go home half an hour early. Lol

I take 2 smoke breaks a day, but I totally know what you mean. I get a lot of stuff done on those breaks though, so i'm nervous for when I quit next month-lol

If you are so worried about not being able to do your job then dont' go out every other hour to smoke. Come on now. I am not going to help them with their work anymore.

I am done with this game.

are you talking to me?? Confused Or about them???

A lot of our tech guys smoke so when I see them outside I just ask them to get something done for me instead of having to go through "proper channels". I can't wait to quit. It's such a smelly habit. Confused

That's messed up.
I'm a smoker i've been smoking for like 7 yrs now and I would never use my bad habbit as an excuse to go on break more. I'm sorry but no one needs a ciggerette every 30 min.
I can understand if by some crazy deal all your work is done and you're just sitting around being useless but if you have things that need to be done then do what you have to do.
You have all reason to be mad. That's very unfair and personally I would complain. You should do what sarah said to. . . I think a kiss from your baby is far more important then any ciggerette.
