Smoking has become such a ghetto. Its the huge taboo - these days at work its OK to drink or even be gay but admit you're a smoker and you'll get funny looks from everyone. Its really strange to walk around the city and see a clump of people outside every building having a quick fag even in weather like this (i.e. very cold). I can see why we forbid smoking in the office itself but couldn't we at least provide a break room for these poor people? It just seems a trifle unfair - I mean its not like it's illegal or anything.

Had an actually productive morning this morning. Finally had a brainwave for a change that one of my co-workers has been bugging me for for ages and got it sorted out in time to release it this afternoon which was cool. Probably am going to have a nice quiet afternoon and maybe even write my apathy essay(!) while I watch for any bugs from the release. Then am off out to watch Blade Runner tonight with Alex which should be cool - somehow I've never managed to see it all the way through in one sitting although I have seen all of it (if you see what I mean).

Saw this, thought of your post: Man fired for smoking.

Yeah - I saw that yesterday too. Its insane isn't it. Its bad enough when companies try to test you for taking illegal drugs in your own time, let alone legal ones.
