Smoking will extend your life and make you money!

At my work, smokers are allowed to have a 15min break every 2 hours for a cigarette. The break has to be 15 minutes because they have to walk out the front gate to the smoking area, have the cigarette and walk back.
If I work an 8-hour day, that means I will have 60 minutes, or one hour a day more breaks and thus personal time than a non-smoker.
If I earn say $25 an hour, this means I will make $25 a day on payed breaks I would otherwise have to have worked for.
If we say that a pack of 24 smokes cost $7.50, and I smoke 4 a day (one for every break), it means it will cost me $1.25 a day to earn $25 for doing nothing. That to me is a clean $23.75 profit.

If I work 5 days a week I will have an extra 5 hours a week off and earn $125 in that time.

If I work a 48-week year, I will have an extra 240 hours or 10 days off work, and earn $6,000 in that year doing it.

If I work for 40 years, I will have an extra 400 days or 1.1 years of life my non-smoking friends did not, and I will have earned $240,000 for doing nothing, that they had to work for.

If I smoke 4 cigarettes a day every working day over a 40-year career, I will have spent $12,000 on cigarettes. This means I’ll come away with a net profit of $228,000, or a 1900% return on my initial investment. These figures do not allow for inflation.

This clearly shows that smoking will both increase you life span, and make you money, However, these returns would not be possible if smoking had not been banned from the workplace, resulting in my 4, 15 minutes payed smoke breaks a day.

Finally smokers have something to thank their non-smoking friends for.

This is special message for Tab,

Very exiting.

Life

I have been a bit slow on the blogging front recently, for no reason past my own laziness, or as those putting forward an excuse would say, fatigue.
Soccer is over for the year and the mighty greens have to come to terms with being third best in their division. That is by no means a small feat and a size 13 boot should be passed their way.
My bocce team is doing quite well this season; we are currently three games from three. Our last game was a forfeit and I choose to believe that when they heard they would be playing us, they just didn’t even bother rocking up.
I went to the show last weekend and won a small fluffy toy on the air riffle sideshow. There was a small argument as to wether it was a bear or a dog. No one was hurt. I also found out that I shoot left handed, although I am generally right handed. This activity joins kicking a football and playing snooker, as the third left handed preference in my life. I am quite exited to find out what else I do Left handed now, only time will tell how many activities may come out from the left handed wood work. How ironic life would be If writing was something I did with my left hand.
