Smoke Out
Somewhere in the misty lands of corporate america, a building super is getting tough on smoking. Because that’s your job in a bureaucracy, making everyone else’s job more difficult. I’m not really kidding. Management has to justify their existence.
Smoking - Smoking is permitted in the designated area in the lower deck where the benches and ash trays are provided. Please remain in the smoking area and not in the pathway of oncoming traffic. Smoking is prohibited in the front of the buildings, in front of handicap parking, inside the parking decks, at the bottom of the hill and on top of the parking deck landing. We are receiving complaints that people are walking through smoke to get to their cars. Please do not use the old planters, grassy areas, pine straw and rocked areas to extinguish your cigarettes. Please use the designated smoking area only.
Update: this is not related to the cigarette smokers problem.

you can figure out who i am, but for of getting fired, i’ll be anonymous here. i used to smoke. now I don’t and sometimes smoke bugs me. but i think the anti-smoking laws are getting a little out of hand. at my job on the west coast in which i come into contact with a lot of drug rehab agencies, they are trying out a pilot project where they are forcing two facilities located in the middle of nowhere to go smoke free. DRUG REHAB FACILITIES! SMOKE FREE! These people are nuts and waiting for a riot, I think. So no one in treatment can smoke. If they try to go somewhere that smoking is allowed, they’ll be “out of bounds” and kicked out. Staff, who are by and large in recovery themselves, will have to leave the site to light up. Just another another burden for underpaid, overworked people who are trying to help others out. I mean, yes, it is better for their health, but I think these people should have more of a choice in what they do to themselves.
