Smoking vs Reading

August 8, 2006 at 8:16 am

So at my work, my boss and this other guy who works there takes smoking breaks every other hour. They take about 10 minutes to just chill outside the office talking about how they hate their job and blah blah. And during that time I sit inside the office churning out fake teeth for some guy named Ahmad. I figured this isn’t fair. I mean, just because they are smokers they get breaks during their work hours.

So to take matters into my own hands, I decided to take breaks during my work hours as well. If they are smokers then I’m a reader. So I naturally, I brought in a book of my own and started to take breaks. I read my new book (which I will review soon) by Yancey. And it was at the end of the 4th chapter when my boss found me reading.

“할일이 쌓여있는데 책읽고 있어요?”

errr…

What’s up with that? If people can taking smoking breaks, I demand a reading break!

I want to live in a country where people are not judge based on their favorite pasttime. I thought America was all about that?????
