How come it's ok to go for smoke during work hours??? Plus these people get smoko and lunch breaks too... if us non smokers went and stood around and have a coffee and did no work we'd be the ones getting in trouble, doesn't seem to make sense...

Im a non-smoker, and when my boss catches me slacking off, I just say Im on my smoke break. He agreed that it was stupid that you had to be actively trying to kill yourself to get breaks, so Im off the hook.

All but 2 people in the office and 1 guy in the warehouse smoke too. So theres always a few people smoking outside at one time.

My biggest gripe in the work place.
I kept time on a former work mate :
10 minutes - 6 times a day = 1 hour a day.
1 hour a day = 5 hours per week
5 hours x 48 weeks = 240 hours
240 / 7.6 ( 7.6 hours the average working day ) = 31.5 days per year.

He never arrived earlier than me or left later. It pisses me off big time that smokers get away with it. If their addiction is that bad they should seek professional help.

At our work we can take one 10 minute break between 9:30am & 10am and then we can smoke during a half an hour break anywhere between noon & 1pm.
When I used to smoke this dude used to follow me outside and just sit down in our verandah area and then return once I walked back in. I questioned him one day and he said "We'll if you can excuse yourself from work for 10 minutes, so can I". Fair call.
Mind you, we get paid for 7.5 hours and I'm here from around 7am to 4:30pm and don't take lunch breaks, one of the higher managers told my manager to tell me to ease up on the net usage, she told them "no, you can if you if you think it's affecting his productivity", that was 4 years and about 12,000 posts ago .

You'd be fun to work with. Nothing worse than working with someone who is always worrying about what everyone else is doing. If you aren't his boss, then it's none of your own business.

Anyway, time for a smoke.

sounds like a guy at my work, worries so much about what everyone else is doing

and then when he does the same thing he acts like its not a problem

Very good fun to work with, I'd say. Doesn't take alot of effort mate to keep a track of someone doing that sort of thing, who knows, maybe the boss asked for my input on the matter?

As you'll note, the bloke no longer works here as he is a "former work mate".

Thanks for your 2c worth though.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Well done booney. Is that why your boss bought you a remote control car?

No, that was the back rubs mate. You remember.

It goes well with our other cars, boats, helicopters and planes. Good office to work in. If you pull* your weight.

Ive also been asked to keep track of other peoples movements. I feel like a double agent.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Sounds like both your bosses are weak as piss.

[CENTURION]

whenever the smokers in my office went for a smoke, I either had a crap or spanked the monkey! Guess who the winner was!

[mickey]

I'm hoping you did it on their desk

what's my name, Josh Coulter?

Actually I would like to put my hand up to work with booney. The 10 minute reward of playing with remote control toys if I meet the high standards sounds awesome.
