Thank you for not smoking...

I am attempting to quit smoking. It's not going as well as I hoped. I manage to go all day, but cannot quite get rid of the couple at night. I must bite the bullet, because I know soon, the couple at night, turn into just one in the afternoon and so it goes, and so it goes.
I find myself pissy from time to time during the day. Today,standing in line at Subway, a guy walked in and just yelled, "is there a plug in here?" he appears to just be throwing it out there, so I answer him. "not for public use, there isn't". He says "do you think you own this place or something?" I snap back, "why the hell did you ask if you didn't want the answer". A couple more snaps back and forth.the whole line is listening. I wanted to kick his ass. My friend was like, Woah. really? Yeah, really.
I had to resolve an issue between one of my workers and one of our restaurants. Smooth the waters, redirect the course. You know, be a supervisor. I so badly wanted to say to my worker, "quit being a bitch, ok?" You are in the wrong, now get the fuck over it. Of course, this was not said. I handled myself well and smoothed the waters and all is well. Not at all how I pictured it in my head.
This is what quitting smoking does to people. You want to jump out of your skin. It's horrible and it's why alot of people just don't bother.
But, I must. For several reasons. First reason, being death. Don't want to die.
second reason, softball.I would like to be able to play without wanting to stop at the nearest oxygen bar on the way to second base. third reason. a boyfriend. there are more non smokers in the world. It ups my chances.
So, I continue to try and will eventually knock off the nighttime smokes and will once again be a non smoker. Unitl then, may the universe protect all those innocent people who are irritaing the hell out of me. May I not kick your ass.

I used to smoke. It only took me 72 hours to kick the habit. That was 21 years ago. Keep trying. How much are the taxes on a pack of smokes where you live? $$$$
