What am I not doing when I am here? Well, I am NOT on the road... out of state and out of my mind... I am NOT doing housework, I am not packing getting ready for a move to a cold part of the country... I am not studying for my HazMat endorsement... sigh....

Yep... I am not being a useful cog in society when I am here....

Lord Shield...do you mind explaining to me just what a "fag break" is?


.
English: 'Fag' = 'Cigarette' (NOT other usage in America)
Working smokers disappear for breaks to have one. When my boss does that, I hop onto this board

That always kind of pissed me off now that you bring it up LS.

Why is is that since I don't smoke, I don't get smoke breaks (fag breaks for all you Brits)? Because I don't smoke, I get penalized and have to work more in a day while the smoking types stand around outside for a total of about 1-2 hours every day? F'em. I am going to go stand outside and stare at them while they smoke!

yep! a budgie is a specie of birds (like miniature parrots)

It's so cute and pretty: tries to eat my mouse so I give it nuts on my desktop instead

Right now I am not socializing with my colleagues (BTW boring bunch -- no gamers, much more entertaining here and I don't have to talk about work). Earlier in the day I am not using my planning time to make the lesson plans I need (I'll just modify/update some old word file/test). After school if I check the board, I'm not watching TV with my wife and kids, or I'm not sleeping.

I do that, so do other non-smokers. We call them 'Genius breaks' and explain we're letting our brains out for some fresh air!
