Have Another Cigarette 4

The rebellion has come to an end. For those of you that have forgotten, the Smoker's revolution was borne when LeeAnn came on to the company, bringing along a helper and convincing Rosa (who had just given notice) to go ahead and just start smoking at work instead of going to her car and smoking there.

Today is Rosa's last day at FalStaff. This is unfortunate for me because she and I have been getting along extremely well in recent weeks, talking as we smoke.

I don't get along as well with LeeAnn, largely due to the language barrier. It's strange being able to talk to someone (she reads lips) who can't talk back. I can pick up some responses (nodding, smiling, etc.) and some of the more obvious signs, but that's about it.

Today she told me that she plans to quit smoking as soon as she finishes her current pack. I'm not sure whether or not it'll take, but I hope it does for a few reasons. Other than her health, I've been a bit worried that she wasn't aware the damage she may be doing to her future at this highly LDS company by being tagged a smoker.

But this company has a delightfully short memory and if she does quit they'll forget she ever smoked.

And that actually leaves me out there smoking alone again, which I think I prefer anyway.
