Well I was just browsin’ the web before I work at 4, just relaxing since there is nothing to do. I stumbled upon this Fark
article and comments.

A German restaurant owner cut three holes in a wall, allowing smokers to smoke outside, while still inside. I doubt the effectiveness is there, but it makes a statement more than anything, showing the business owner doesn’t really agree with the new laws. Not just to make smokers look like an asshat leaning out of a wall.

Well a lot of the comments on Fark dealt with the debate between smoking and not. All smokers know the risk, no one doesn’t. If someone really wanted to quit because of their health, they can, I know people who straight up quit no problem.

I’m sick of people wanting to ban smoking right out, and keep on attacking non-smokers. They make us look like evil people who no respect for others. Hell, I make sure to not smoke near public entrances or near people. When I blow off my smoke and there’s lots of people near by, I send it straight up in the air. Smokers don’t get kicks out of being like “Look, a non-smoker! ATTACK!” Seriously.

One argument was about workers in a smoking environment. They picked the job. They can get a different one. Most people who work at jobs where there is a smoking section smoke themselves. If not, they know the risk. Plenty of jobs have health risks, and the workers know them, and they choose to keep working there.

I just wish government would stay out of the lives of restaurant owners, and smoker lives. If people wanted a smoke free restaurant that bad, they wouldn’t support ones that had smoking. I understand they have the right to enjoy their meal without annoyance, just as smokers do. Instead of banning smoking outright, try to think of some kind on area in the between.

Miraz and Marina Gardens both have separate rooms where smokers go. If they didn’t have those, I am almost certain they’d lose a lot of business. Most people in my age range only eat at George Webb, Miraz, or Marina Gardens because they can smoke there. I’m sure there’s others that go there for those reasons.

Bah I just hate people.

Well I woke up this morning with the worst case of pink eye I’ve ever had - that I remember. My right eye is swollen and pink. I swear, it’s got more “eye buggers” and gunk and nasty stuff than a runny nose. Bryce just told me damp water over it once and a while helps clear it up.

Didn’t go to class because I’d just get sent back anyways. Everything is on the computer, so it’d get spread around. Just realized pink eye + IT field = bad news bears.

Well, here’s the story lately. Luke had to switch me over to his pal Mike’s servers. This happened over the weekend while I was up north. Due to some mismatch of emails, I didn’t get the login information until yesterday.

The site wouldn’ve been up yesterday, but I was in a car accident.

I’m fine, the weekend went well, and I’ll post everything later.

It’s time for bed.
