I'm rather worried.
 
I'm supposed to take a drug test in 20 minutes.

I fucking need this job, man. I hope I fucking pass.

Trasher02 10.13.2006 01:43 PM

Haha.
Drug test, big deal I bet you and yr clean body pass it without any problems.
no biggie.

HaydenAsche 10.13.2006 01:45 PM

I'm hoping it is a clean body. I smoked pot and did alot of oxy about 2 weekends ago. I've been staying somewhat clean, really.

Thanks for the condolenses, really, I mean it.

Inhuman 10.13.2006 01:45 PM

really? They do drug tests? At my job they didn't even interview me, they just hired me. Good luck with that man!

HaydenAsche 10.13.2006 01:48 PM

Almost everywhere here does drug tests.
Target
Wal-mart
Best Buy
OfficeMax

I only apply at corporations, though. I'm a tool like that.

Trasher02 10.13.2006 01:49 PM

Doesn't it take 10 to 30 days for pot to get out of yr system? It depends on how much body fat you have, if you're fat it takes longer to get out...

So maybe yr lucky.

HaydenAsche 10.13.2006 01:50 PM

10 to 30 days if you're a regular smoker. I only smoke probably 1-2 times a month. I passed one last time and smoked pot 3 days earlier. It's the oxy I'm worried about.

Savage Clone 10.13.2006 02:15 PM

I personally won't work anywhere that makes people submit to drug testing. I mean, maybe if you were an air-traffic controller or something, but to work at fucking Target?
And to the people who say "I don't use drugs so I have nothing to hide:" you should be even MORE outraged than someone who does use drugs, since you are being asked to prove that you do not engage in activity that there is zero indication you have any interest in participating in (not to mention that what you do on your own time is private and the fact that you could be a raging alcoholic who is dying of lung caner from smoking cigarettes and still pass a "drug screen" testing for much milder chemicals).

golden child 10.13.2006 02:17 PM

id send you my piss, if i knew this a week ago.

I used to work with a lady who would frequently turn up for work having shot up on the bus on the way to work. It was a menial shit job, and she could do it perfectly. Going to work was a great way to subsidise her habit. She was lovely, until she got sacked for stealing. The lesson, kids, is if you do have a brown habit, try and keep it under wraps, eh?

Savage Clone 10.13.2006 02:25 PM

The measure of competence is performance.

Hip Priest 10.13.2006 02:25 PM

When I was a sports coach, I had a colleagu who was absolutely alcoholic; four cans for breakfast, four for lunch, etc etc. He hardly ate any food at all, and hadn't done so for quite some time. But you'd never guess he drank - didn't smell of it, was never drunk. Nice chap, actually.

Tokolosh 10.13.2006 02:25 PM

It's pure discrimination in many cases. The fact that some companies, test new employees for HIV, is atrocious. All because it costs the company money later, when the patient gets full blown AIDS.

Savage Clone 10.13.2006 02:26 PM

Companies that do credit checks on prospective employees can fuck me as well.

Anngella 10.13.2006 02:30 PM

If you eat poppy seeds they can test you positive for heroin.
Learned that from Mythbusters.........

not surprising, a coworker just fucked up his back and our company told him they would pay full expenses if he quit, since back problems usually are reoccuring.

and poppy seeds are from opium, which is why you test positive.

static-harmony 10.13.2006 03:50 PM

I didn't know about the HIV thing, that is totally fucked up man. Don't worry Hayden did you drink a lot of Cranberry Juice?

not heroin specifically, but any opiate. and you have to eat a lotttttt of poppy seeds.

Пятхъдесят Шест 10.13.2006 07:00 PM

I remember starting a thread about this some time ago, when a co-worker of mine was randomly selected for a drug screening. He also smoked pot on a regular. Poor guy was fired. Of course, this was at a hospital...

they did an episode of Seinfeld where Elaine failed a drug test because she ate too many poppy seed bagels.

Cantankerous 10.13.2006 07:03 PM

golden child 10.25.2006 10:59 PM

HaydenAsche 10.25.2006 10:59 PM

Cantankerous 10.25.2006 11:00 PM

Cantankerous 10.25.2006 11:00 PM

golden child 10.26.2006 12:34 AM

static-harmony 10.26.2006 01:12 AM

Kegmama is the lucky one, she can get high with potheads and not get in trouble.

static-harmony 10.26.2006 01:39 AM

Daddylikes 10.26.2006 02:28 AM

good luck with your test, hayden.


no it shouldnt be expensive. i thought it was disgusting that herceptin (a potential lifeline drug) for women with breast cancer was not initialy made available on the NHS and that poor woman had to go to the house of lords to fight for it. i mean christ what sort of world do we live in when our own politicians wont let people have something that could save their life without having too fight for it first.

It is illegal(at least in the uk) for an employee to be discriminated against if the have the HIV virus.The law has also been changed to the extent that it says that having the virus is not a determinate death sentence anymore so therefore you are able to work and live(erm.....) as normal for as long as you don't have fully developed aids.
