It's the economy, stupid, or stupid economy

I dunno, I wish the weather would warm up so I can take some pix, it's no fun when the camera freezes up, I've tried a spare battery warmed up in my pocket. I guess when it's 5 below, nothing wants to work. Speaking of work, lately it seems I have taken a step back in time..to kindergarten, new year, new rules no drinking or eating at your workstation, I can understand it to a point, but dammit..I need my Starbucks! Mandatory break and lunch times...come on! we are all over the age of 18, why should we be punished for the stupidness of others? I feel that after 12 plus years of document experience I can be trusted not to steal time or spill food or drink. If I want to take a break I should be able to be trusted to take it at a time when I want. Maybe some people will sympathize with me or maybe not. A lot of people are affected by this, not just me we all hate the new rules. It's like the company wants to make sure we all know our place, well they made that perfectly clear! Maybe things will get better or I will win the lottery....
