By the time I had to attend corporate meetings, smoking was out. It's interesting though how really hard it is not to pay attention in those meetings even though you hate being there, hate the atmosphere, loathe some of the people, realize your life is burning up.... I tried sexual fantasy, that didn't work. What helps me is knitting, but some people are offended by it and others find it sinister.

But listen folks, all this talk about smoking (yum, yum, yum) is making it really hard for me to abstain. Pleeease, let's change the subject.

Thanks,

Joanna
