Well cool, add vaping to shit I worry my kids will do. Oh yes. Remember about DD and the “smokers?” Teacher was like, “oh no! We’ve had some kids in older grades get caught with vaping pens. I will definitely investigate to make sure it’s harmless.” Of course, no follow up because privacy but OMG.

Booze should be allowed at work. At least at my work.

maybe this is more of a confession than a UO, but I would escalate a coworker smoking weed at work. maybe i've been on smoke free/drug free office complexes too long. that would really shock me. Why? I probably wouldn’t in a regular* job. *non church

I am wondering now though, how is medical MJ different than non medical, other than the fact that I assume it is more highly tested before being dispensed? I know nothing about it.

I think vaping is stupid. It helped my mom wean off cigarettes after smoking for 40 years. She was able to decrease the amount of nicotine in her oil slowly to cut down on the withdrawal. Then she weaned off the vape. So for that, I can’t hate on it. Except for teenagers and other young people. WE KNOW BETTER NOW. It helped my MIL quit too, but she kept doing it inside. I had to ask her multiple times when she came to visit to do it outside because who knows what’s in it.

gimmeaQ , if it was drastically affecting performance or something that would be different. But IDK man. Maybe that person was having an anxiety day and had to do what they could. I don't think it's okay, and that person needs to find more appropriate solutions for long term. But if you want me to swear that my fellow EAs and I didn't once have a two (maybe more) glass of wine lunch because of a really shitty situation that was pushing everyone close to tears..I could not do that. It was a fucked up day, and we were just trying to get through it. I would let a one time pass, no question. If it was a good friend I might say "this is not a good idea." *This assumes a job where no one's life or well being is in the balance, of course.

Fuck celery. An entire month?? Who the fuck do they think they are? I love celery. Fight me. We don't have to fight. You can eat my celery and we can be friends.

In 10 years, they will figure out vaping causes a whole bunch of other cancers. The collective ‘they’ have already issued reports that the gaping liquid contains chemicals known to cause smoking related cancer in higher concentrations than traditional cigarette as well as new ‘fun flavor’ chemicals that do a whole host of other damage, such as diacetyl.

The best part of a wing platter is the celery and carrots with blue cheese dressing.

I work in HR too so I really would have to report it. I wouldn't if I didn't work in HR. *in Pharma, a doctor's office, hospital, etc etc etc, then of course, I would escalate it.

I will say I know this person well enough that she wouldn’t partake enough to affect her job, and even if it did the only thing it would affect is her (B2B sales account manager). If she operated machinery or dealt with patients or children or something I’d feel different.
But if I mentioned it to any leadership in the company she would be arrested.

I used to smoke weed on my lunch break, from time to time, at another job. I was an editor and I think I caught more mistakes after I blazed. I was also in my early 20s. Now, I work with a vulnerable population, and I feel strongly that you really need to be on your game here.
I despise Suburu radio ads with a passion. Some yuppie gets a suburu just so he doesn;t have to be the guy that ever needs to ask his neighbors for help with XYZ. They are all some variation of that.
I do love their cars, though.

The Shawshank Redemption from the novella Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Both great, but the movie edged out the novella.

Assemble a special ops team with your coworkers. Perform a citizen’s arrest. Hogtie that felon and lock her in the bathroom until the po po can get there.

I worked in editing, the company changed hands and all employees had to take a drug test to be “rehired”
Have never seen so many adults downing that detox juice.

When I was an editor, everyone drank and smoked weed on the job. I just thought this was due to most of us being in our early-mid 20s and living it up in the city.
