I mean really… I work in an office building downtown and there’s always the same crew heading down/or up the elevator to or from a ciggy break… and it seems like every 10 or 15 minutes… does your boss know or care that you are wasting that much paid time???? Is your job THAT stressful? I have no pity for your hacking, hocking, coughly or whatever… some of you are cilly servants… no pity for your future lung fungus either… —Roboto

Would that be the same paid time you’re wasting watching these nimwits, timing and counting how often theY go? The same paid time you’re wasting posting a bitch about it using the company’s computer? Does YOUR boss know? Do you ride the elevator every 10 to 15 minutes or is your desk located in front of it? How else do you know they do it every 10 to 15 minutes? How is ANY of this your business? Are you their supervisor? If so, you’re doing a piss poor job of it. Does their frequent smoke breaks affect your workload or increase your daily duties in any way? Judging by the fact you ask if THEIR boss knows, I would deduce that you don’t even work in the same office, so no. I guess it doesn’t affect your job at all. Get back to work OB, and stop being such a nosey busy body, ya hypocrite.
Oh, and it’s spelled ‘SILLY’. Maybe you should be spending your time reading a dictionary.
I’m addicted to cigarettes; that’s why I smoke. I work for the government and i’m bored and stressed by the inefficiency of the administration; it’s a trigger for me. It’s a shitty situation; I’m working on it. I don’t want your pity.
Is your office in the elevator? Otherwise, it sounds like everytime someone gets up from their desk, you are distracted by it…which doesnt say much for your own job performance. I always hated watchers like you, like the Australian female redheaded version of Sylvester Stallone I used to work with. It was always akward enough for me to go to the washroom without feeling like I was being timed by Sly; she made it impossible to comfortably go for a poo.
You really should keep your eyes on your OWN work and forget about what others are doing.
in other words o.p., mind your own fucking business, and stop snooping at others. unless you put your name on their paycheque, keep the fuck out of it. just nough said.
Forget about them OP. Either their boss or cancer will catch up with them.
They’re clearing out their desks and packing to move to New Fucking Waterford, they’re grunts moved by Dexters brainless ideas.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
When I was a smoker, I knew that a cig break make me think more clearly and be more productive, so that I more than made up for any lost time. Put that in your pipe and puff it.
OP, gov’t. workers get two 15 minute breaks and unless you’ve got a security camera on watch, you’re too goddamn nosey for your own good. Get a fucking life, turdbreath.
1 one hour lunch break can be broken up into 4 15 minute breaks, ya keener buttmunch fuck!
The smokers at my work piss me off because I can’t hear the radio when they have one of their coughing-til-they-vomit fits.
Maybe they catch up by not hanging out on social networking or blogging sites all day.
Cigarette breaks every 10 to 15 minutes. You can thank unions for that!
