POTATO CHIPS & CIGARETTES

PET PEEVE ALERT: I really do not appreciate the amount of cigarette breaks certain people take.

I am not a smoker. I do not like when people smoke. It is a filthy, disgusting habit. That being said, I understand the addiction to nicotine, blah blah blah, so I guess it is okay that cigarette smokers take a break.

I also get that people are going to want to get up and snack throughout the day. A chip here and there never hurt anyone.

My beef is simple. Why is it fair that people get their smokes and their chips, and I get jack squatt? It is not fair. SMART OLD HAG can't go five minutes without a cigarette break and she can't go 2 seconds without a chip. Why the fuck am I working and working and all they are doing is smoking and eating chips. BINGO BETTY smokes, and I barely ever notice her smoking. THE ONE THAT SLEEPS WITH CLIENTS SMOKES, and although she is never around when we need her for weeks at a time, when she is there, she usually is pretty quick. Even THE WEASEL smokes, and it is not too bad. But SMART OLD HAG just abuses the privilege. THE DOMINATRIX and I were discussing it today.

The more I think about it now, the more mad I am getting. If you add up all the time they smoke and stand around the bag of community chips, they must be getting weeks of extra vacation time. I really think this needs to be addressed. But of course if I say something, then I am the prick. Maybe I will convince THE DOMINATRIX to say something. Yeah, she's so easy, I could convince her to do anything.

There is one sticking point - FAT GODZILLA. She is always in her "lying" cloak, and pretends not to eat. But she runs a close second to SMART OLD HAG when it comes to eating chips. Maybe I can get THE INFANT to stop putting his finger up his nose for a second and to join me in my drive to get equal time off. I am perfectly willing to skip chips and smoke breaks for another week's vacation. Maybe this needs to get filed in my "secrets" file. Soon the "secrets" file will be bursting at the seams.
