My reply was "if you are going to have a go at me for having a coffee rarely in working hours, you make sure you speak to the few blokes who go out for a smoke several times a day".. He said fair point and said enjoy your coffee
The smokers at one of my previous positions didn't like me highlighting to the management that 3 smokes a day at around 8 minutes each became 24 minutes a day ( for easy numbers ) which became 2 hours a week and across the 48 weeks you work a year (48*2=96) that was 2.5 * 38 hour weeks they weren't working and I was.
He was ok with them doing so, so I played along with the umpires call and when they went out for a smoke I went out and sat with them. He asked me once what I was doing, I said I was taking some of the 2.5 weeks he owed me 8 minutes at a time, 3 times a day.
Did you work here? We had a lad who done something similar, he'd just sit under the verandah while his colleagues smoked and chatted then would walk back in with them, I thought it was gold.
No, it wasn't there but I did work in the job for nearly 8 years.
... meaning you scored nearly 8 * 2.5 = 20 weeks worth of pay for sitting on your arse and watching your coworkers suck on tabs.
