New Job and no one knows about e-ciggs

[LastOutlaw]

I have a new job working at an auto dealership group. I'm at a number of dealerships on varying days. I no longer smoke but there are some specific rules about smoking at these businesses. Most of the sales people smoke and you will see them in groups outside having their smoke breaks. One major rule is no smoking in the autos. I now vape and have gotten used to not having to go outside to vape. However since no one is educated yet about e-cigs i go outside to vape at the new job at this point. Since I'm such a new employee I dont want to be the one to break the ice there. My plan is to get some of these sales people vaping and let them break the ice for me so I can vape all I want. I have one salesman very interested but I'm not sure he has made his first order or not yet. He has been on these forums reading up quite a lot. I gave him one of my e-ciggs to try out the other day while i was at his dealership and he loved it. He is a non menthol smoker and I even gave him a spearmint cart for the day as I dont have any non menthol flavors.
I'm pretty sure his is converted so one down 2 more dealerships to go.
I have had a couple people ask about them at the two other dealerships but not tried them yet. They are next.

Hey good luck with the new job LO! And hopefully alot of the salespeople will start to vape too.I can understand why there is such a strict rule about smoking in the cars, nasty smell

Thanks Plant,
I love the new job. It's a position they have created so they can display more images of vehicles on their web site. The title is Internet inventory specialist/photographer. They used to contract a company to do this but the company charged them by the image. When they decided to post close to 30 images per vehicle it was more cost efficient to hire me full time to do the task. Lucky me!

You should also carry a stack of the V4L business cards. As you know, there is a very good explanation on the back.

You might want to get a business card wallet from an office supply store, to keep them pristine.

Paw Paw, I do exactly that.

hehe speaking of car photography, I'm no professional, but one of the sales guys where I work bought himself a corvette, and I was trying out some HDR photography stuff, so I took this pic of his car (with my PoS behind it):
Started with standard photo and ended up with this one. They're sized down some, but probably still slow to load.
(not direct embedding them as they're still over 1300 pixels wide)
I figured in a showroom type situation you could really get some cool photos. (Probably not appropriate for promoting a car, but Vette1 or Vette2 are still HDR just not as extreme, and look nice)
Odds are you already do this kinda thing, but on the off chance I figured I'd post slightly OT here...

I ninja smoke in the bathroom and in my office. Close the door for a couple minutes here and there. No one has ever said anything about any kind of smell. It's a small office with a large number of people that would give me crap about it. So I figure it's none of their business.

I'm starting a new job tonight too! Can't wait for my first payday from it because i'm allready planning an order, since i am just about 100% out!!!\
I vape a lot while working on public computers (library, job service, ect...), since mine died a couple of months back. I originally thought people would freak out, but it turns out all anyone expresses is cureosity! most people simply ask if it works for me, and I can honestly say "YES"!! It turns out vaping is a great way to break the ice with people.
