Sounds like you had good reasons, but yet your reason was flawed. Or maybe you cannot reasonably be expected to have foreseen the outcome.

All it takes is a whip...
I have two whips, both rather new. Neither helps me to sleep, quite to the contrary in each cause, although one does produce a byproduct that helps me sleep (at the price of a raging headache.) The other could put me to sleep permanently, but only if I am either reckless or terribly unfortunate.Sun Feb 5, 2012 10:03:00 am

Pfft. You're self-educated, not uneducated. That's not a small thing, and if you decide to go back to university or something you *know* you're going to kick ass and probably be twiddling your thumbs until you get to graduate school.
Did I mention to you that my plan for you is to get a PhD? No shit. You've totally got skills.
And I've noticed that you can be a raging bitch every once in a while, but I think you're remarkably UNbitter. I was thinking today, in fact, that it amazes me that you seem to be one of the few people on here who is in a healthy, affirming relationship at the moment. Bitter people can't do that.
I'm purposely not responding to the other comment because I'll be awful to her.
No, bitter people can't do that. They only fake it sometimes.Did I mention to you that my plan for you is to get a PhD? No shit. You've totally got skills.

I know about addiction. A hell of a lot more than you think I do. It does bother me that I'm not educated formally, because I was forced to drop out of school by circumstance. I am bitter. I've never once tried to hide that. I have a shit ton of issues that I'm working on that make me bitter.
I love it when people like you think they know me based off a few comments on the internet.
Congratulations on spotting something so fucking obvious.
(... sounds so much like what I would have said a decade or so ago, but at that time there was no social blogging. Still, it would be truthful, though I am no longer bothered by never having been educated by anyone wearing a tuxedo.)

My final counseling assignment was to define addiction in my own way. I chose to simplify it to a self-harming imbalance between what one sacrifices to have something, versus what one gets out of having it. Surely that is only one facet of addiction, but the thesis was good enough to complete my psychological treatment.

That they are not graveyard shifts isn't a positive so much as a lack of a negative.

But...but I thought cigarettes were supposed to relax you. Doesn't sound very relaxing.
They are relaxing to those who smoke them habitually. To others I can't conceive of them being better than numbing in that regard.Sun Feb 5, 2012 9:57:00 am

re: comment#14
This is why I could never be a smoker. I would be a chain smoker, at best. Or, maybe I am just making up for lost time whenever I smoke?
It's better to never have enjoyed cigarettes; they really don't have much to offer except addiction.Sun Feb 5, 2012 9:55:59 am

They all sound the same to me when Canadians say them.

Good job suddenly posting a comment with more breaks, as if that proves the other one wasn't a mistake. Go on, maintain that backpedaling pace with your comments. :3

re: comment#58
I have enough problems with sleep without adding the rhythm fucking of graveyards. I count myself fortunate.
Swings aren't the greatest either. I'm satisfied with what I've got, basically a 12-12 shift, with a little extra here and there. (It is my responsibility to lead the crew through dinner service every time except Tuesday night.)
Appreciation of fortune is...good.)
Also, sleep is a rotten bastard demon child, & just won't behave.

re: comment#3
I don't generally schedule my smoke breaks, or keep track of how much I smoke. However, when I do the math on how long a pack lasts me and how long I'm awake during an average day, it works out to about 1.5 hours between cigarettes. Sometimes I smoke more and sometimes I smoke less, so I widened the range to 1-2 hours.
This morning before I work, I must not have had as many cravings as normal. Or, my body craved on its usual schedule, but the strange work schedule interrupted that. I try to limit how much I smoke at work, for obvious reasons, but today made it especially difficult to sneak out for a quick puff.
TL;DR - I didn't smoke enough today.
At most/worst I was smoking 2+ packs of Kool Kings per day, which, at an average of 18.5 waking hours per day, equals to 2.162162162... per hour.

When I started working for this company I did about 70-75 hours per week, with a strict restriction on smoking at any time during my shift. Wasn't bad, really. And this is why I laugh at people who bitch about being verboten not to smoke in a limited and legitimate capacity.
I look down upon you for your constant double line break errors. Starting to think you don't know the difference between your/yore/you're.

re: comment#55
I've never had to work a graveyard.
It isn't all bad. I've used such positions to combine a bread-and-butter job with dire recovery, but I don't know anyone for whom it aids the circadian rhythm, and while it may take very little hard labor, the time passes so fucking slowww. Thu Feb 2, 2012 8:17:18 am

Uncertain what your goal was. Headache? Nausea? Dizziness? Attention deficit? Shortness of breath? High pulse rate at rest? Lack of restful sleep? Fatigue? Expelling of phlegm?
Yeah, I asked chef tonight (considering he was locked up yesterday for DWI) if his unusually large number of requests for cigarettes today was due to "making up for lost time".
I smoke about 3-4 ultra lights per day, often a half at a time. Tomorrow I might quit for a long time again. Not forever, though: cigars are still too pleasurable for me. (Can't do naught but the vape' with herb, anymore. Can't stand the dopiness.)

Hm. I gauged (what remained of) the front fascia and side window height:width ratio incorrectly. At any rate, it's good to hear you were fairly compensated for the value of the vehicle and that you didn't sustain severe damage yourself.

re: comment#8
see previous post.
Yow! It took an extraordinarily long time for me to identify the wreck as a Malibu, and careful examination to determine that it's a 6th gen'.
So, what, the insurance companies just recently became aware that your car was drinking lots of chemicals and breathing carbon monoxide!?
Will you call bullshit? I've had success claiming rental car costs for the duration of litigation as damages against insurance companies that are not forthcoming with a fair compensation. Too bad they still win in aggregate, since there are so many people who just want to settle and won't fight back.

on Why... by errorrrrrr
The first time I use Anbesol, which was unfortunately when a classmate unwittingly payment-stomped my head, while we were playing Tag at recess one day, I thought the very same thing. Gah! Why does it have to taste so damn nasty? These days it doesn't, but neither does it help much to soothe the pain.
I prefer self-sealing envelopes. And adhesive tape that won't shred in the mail feeders. But in those situations that a plain ol' glue-stripped envelope, say, fits a greeting card perfectly, then I prefer a sponge and some water that has a modicum of sanity... Uh, sanitariness... IS SANITARY.
Then again, sometimes I just lick that shit; and then scrape my tongue a bit with my teeth and spit.

Sounds like a lot of damage. (Heh.) What happened?
