yes, but think about how many more days you'll live...

I love it when non-smokers say, how come I always see you outside smoking? My response is, if you always see me outside smoking, what are YOU doing always outside? Most cigarette breaks are about 5 minutes and I seldom finish a smoke. But you proved the point, QBN during non-work hours b/c no matter how much you disagree with smoking, you'll sooner be fired for effing off online than going out for a smoke break.
- Or they just see you walking outside and declaring that you're out for a smoke break while in their office.juhls

How many people shit where you work? I don't shit so I resent that they get breaks all the time to go outside and shit themselves. It doesn't make any sense from a business point of view to let them waste studio time for what will inevitably result in a decreased workforce (through honks).
So, I did some maths to calm myself:
• there are 365 days a year • in england there are 8 bank holidays • there are roughly 104 days of weekend a year • we get 25 days of paid holiday
Therefore we work: 365-8-104-25= 228 daysThe average ploper in my studio has maybe 4 breaks a day of about 10 minutes. So that's 40 minutes a day. Which over a year is 9120 minutes, which is 152 hours which works out as over 6 days of shit time a year!
6 DAYS!
I want 6 extra days of holiday for not taking a crap.
Although, maybe I already use that time on QBN, who knows. Just thought I'd put this info out there- They should consult a doctor if they take 4 shits every day.jamble

you can go outside or somewhere for a break too, just no need for you to smoke

i've had a strange relationship with cigarettes...
i go through the typical "wtf am i doing smoking this" thing, can't really justify why i do it apart from the fact that it gets me out of my office every few hours and it's awesome when i'm rolling at parties or drinking. so there's the whole "omg i'm so helpless" thing i'm sure all smokers deal with, but the weird part is i'm addicted ONLY DURING THE WEEK.
i have no desire to smoke when i'm at home or hanging out somewere over the weekend, unless i'm at a party of some sort.
which leads me to believe that the addiction is only in my mind, that i get some sort of thrill by being addicted to something, and i delight in the anguish it causes, and that's i'm just a slacker and like breaks at work.
- It's like social drinking. More of a pressure situation.juhls
- stop! while you still can and you're not helplessly and hopelessly addicted. Seriously, please do it now, not later :(mikotondria3
- yes! stop it now! seriously! you're only one year away from 20-40/daymikabast
- yeah, you guys are right.scarabin

I worked in a supermarket when i was younger. smoking earned me breaks every hour, as all the management smoked, and they'd invite me. as i non smoker i'd be royally fucked off if i worked there. but not nearly as fucked off as i'd be as having a job where i wasn't allowed to manage my own time.
Try turning up to work 40 mins late and tell your boss you were at home smoking.

on the other hand, you really don't stop working or thinking of work just cause your away from the desk.
counting the breaks is a bit silly. it's like if your 5 mins late and they let you know but if your 2 hour overtime (no paid) then there no word about it.

Lot of resentment in the workplace, huh?

If you're really that upset by this, start smoking.

I generally go for a smoke to look at some printouts of what I'm working on or use it as a transitional 5 - 10 mins when I'm about to switch to another project or a different portion of a project...
- I generally go for a smoke just before having a shit -> that way I can waste 30mins in one go.lukus_W

i love it when girls smoke.
when they grasp the cigarette in their hand, between their two fingers and put it up to their mouth and suck. ah yeah, their eyes get all squinty and their forehead wrinkles up puffing in. their cheeks suck in and their nostrils flare, making them look like their either trying desperately to hold in a massive fart, or have just massively farted and realized a little shit came out, oh yeah that face.... that beautiful face with their two fingers now spread open looking like rigamortis has set in hours ago while they take in a deep drag. ah fuck yeah i love it! then they take the cigarette out of their mouth and hold it over their shoulder and it burns your shoulder cause you were standing next to them of fuck yeah i have a boner now.
- good to know somebody share the same thought as i do. LOLpango

haha, woah a lot of defensive smokers on here eh?
Moth, I can picture you chain-smoking in your studio like samuel L jackson from jurassic park:I don't have an issue with people smoking, I just didn't realise how the time worked out over the course of a year. We have a ping pong table and I have breaks playing that – of course the smokers are too asthmatic to play ;)
I think it's the same if you stay late by say an hour each day, over the course of the year you work a lot of extra unpaid day. It's the nature of our industry.
