Yet again, I find myself surrounded by at least a dozen fucking lighters scattered on my desk, as if the Gods of Cancer themselves have puked up this colorful mess of lighters as a form of happy persuasion to get me to smoke more. It does look quite pretty, I have to admit... And I just can't resist pretty things, being the pathetic little girl that I am.
You'd think though that if they were that insistent on me smoking, they would at least arrange them in such a way that I could grab one that works in a single attempt without having to pick up about five before I get to one that works. Gets kinda irritating, as I'm sure you can imagine. I bet they all have a good ol' giggle about it when I'm AFK as well.... The bastards....
Of course, the hunt for a working lighter is only half of the battle. It's also a case of finding a cigarette box that isn't fucking empty. Every time, I have to pick up the boxes of my Sterling Superkings strewn across my desk with the rest of the shit, give them each a bit of a shake to see if anything rattles 'til I'm juggling boxes and lighters all over the fucking place, before I finally find the one that's not empty.
So in the end, it just becomes the routine I have to endure every time I wanna suck on a cigarette for a few minutes. But at least I get a good prize at the end of it all. And I like to count all this excessive flapping of arms as part of my daily exercise. And that's always nice.
