//OFFC/ The Day I Bought a Horse to the Office

This December we had nice idea to cheer up every Monday with a delicious cookies, cakes or anything else, done by me and my fellow colleagues, tirelessly contributing their free time for free to the greater good of the company.
First week's team managed to find one escape goat, who spend whole 6 hours of her weekend baking muffins, they were delicious. Call me scrooge, unmotivated or rebel but I don't see the point of wasting 6 hours for something you get no pay.
So, It turned out the time for my team (7 men and 2 ladies) to spend last bits of week's free time on baking. I can bake and I enjoy baking, but it seemed fundamentally wrong for me, so I passed, remaining 6 fellas were familiar with baking as much as our ladies familiar with oil change in the car, so it left only for our ladies. To be honest, both of them are manipulating, both of them try to get as much recognition and I was ready to continue by betting broker hobby...

I never taught that my previous message in the bottle would get so much support and attention from so many people, who have nothing to do with me except they, their family members or their friends went down the same road I am heading to.
Thank you! When my office mates went outside to smoke, when I was waking up, thinking, that I need another cig, and many, many similar occasions It helped, that someone supports me.

"You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses" - so I will not whip myself for last three days of smoking few cigarettes. After all, I had kept myself from this deadly habit for three days. And I am ready to start over, learnt from my previous mistakes...

\\TBB\ iQuit

It's 4:55 AM, and I am tired of insomnia. The insomnia, caused by adrenaline, toxins and other chemicals, I've been inhaling into my body, and paying money for it. What was it worth for? When I was 15 yo, it was all about coolness, when I entered my twenties it was pure addiction. The nicotine, the smokes, the pseudo-socializing at work, when everybody keeps silent and at parties, when everybody craves for connection. I'm fed up with this. Today, I quit! My boss will get angry, because I will not go to work today, but really? Isn't Insomnia (even caused by self destructive behavior) not good enough reason? Well, I'm not betting on that anymore, as I did with previous job, I will simply go to my doctor and tell her how it is, actually I will lie, that I quit few days ago, so that she wont think it's some kind of idea fix, trying to get away from job. I will try to make her feel my last hope.
