Probably half my job (programmer) is simply figuring stuff out (analysis, if you want to be high-falootin') -- either what's going on in an existing system, or how a new system should work. There have been several times when I've spent two hours on a particular problem, got frustrated, went outside (alone) for a clove cigarette, and had the problem solved before I was done. That really only works off-hours, though. It depends on the job.

Why would those who start work later necessarily be working fewer hours? I used to get it a lot, but now I've switched to early hours, and I'm often here later than anyone else anyway. Ah, the joys of this project. Yeah, that prejudice a lot of people have against later working hours is weird. Why would those who start work later necessarily be working fewer hours?

I found that very annoying as I had recently quit smoking and it was more exposure to cigarettes than I really needed.

I used to take breaks downstairs because two of the funtionals took cig breaks there and I could ask them questions - so was almost a mini-meeting. otherwise I woudl take them when I would get in a 'must think on this' situation. Now I read livejournal instead. Depends on the type of work.

As much as it's none of her business, I assured her I would be there long after she was gone for the day and that she definitely wouldn't want my hours. Now it seems I see her outside smoking at least 8 times a day and it annoys the hell outta me. … but 8 breaks of 20 minutes each?
