I'm using his account while I wait for mine.y onwn. ******************************************************************* JUST WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, WANTING TO FIRE ALL THE SMOKERS! I'll bet 10 to 1 that the guy smoking in the office next to you or down the hall keeps his job, and y YOU wind up out on the street! I recall reading in an recent article in the N.Y. Times where some researcher investigated the productivity of smokers vs. non-smokers. He was attemptinhg to prove that non-smokers were more productive (who knows/cares whathow it it defined). He belatedly found that smokers were 3% more productive. In addition, maybe thoa minute reason that ATTIS loses a billion a year and has to can 24 K people is because of people like you who worry aboyt smokingut smoking in the office rather than your fucking job!
