I'm toying with the idea of doing this, and the fact that Plastic Forks XXIV is now behind me makes this more doable.
Hell, I actually even smoked only one pack at forks this year, which is UNBELIEVABLE.
Forks, being a two day event, with day one comprised mainly of alcohol consumption typically means 2-4 packs are about right for getting me through. I was prepared for a lot more than that, but brought 'em all home.
Because there is such a close tie between smoking and stress relief at work, I have to come up with some strategy that will make up for not going out on the porch to smoke ... what some of you might not be familiar with is that going onto the porch to smoke is the only break that I get in my dept ... no lunch, no coffee breaks, no nuthin'. There is probably something in labor law that says my employer can't do this, but this is just the way things are.
I've been thinking about doing something like taking my flute with me, and going out on the porch to play for the five mintes I would otherwise have been spending smoking ... and as a bonus, it's an activity that would still feed my oral fixation, right?
And no ... I am NOT going to do that for any of my coworkers rather than smoking. Shut down that thought process right there.
