Feb 2019

mentioned as any kind of an issue when they hired me. I was there for a long time and the smoke Nazis gained power.

I did want to quit and started claiming I had for insurance reasons. It wasn't long before I did really quit. Then after quite awhile started up again, then quit again. That's pretty common. Does anybody fess up to starting again in that situation? That would have been a mess, not to mention being more expensive for myself and the company if I lost my non smoker status.
