I started the new job this week, wheee! Anyway, on going in the first thing to do was to sign bits of paper with HR, agreeing to policies on IT and the like. Then came a health questionnaire, the HR fella went through each question and hit the inevitable... "Do you smoke?" Resisting the urge to brandish the ego I'd brought in for work vape, I just said "I use electronic cigarettes." His response? "Oh, we do too, they're great aren't they?" I didn't find out if the 'we' was him and colleagues, or him and the wife, but it was a response I wasn't expecting and a really nice surprise!
