I have discovered that there is no future in my current project because I am not a smoker. The important work is discussed among the smokers at their fag breaks, and not at the meetings. I have even resorted to having virtual fag breaks to join in the discussions but the whole of the cigarette nepotism has got out of hand. Every permie manager is now a smoker. I have worked in other places with various cliques. One was a TA clique, another a football club clique, one IT department employed on Sri Lankan tamales and another Australians.
