I for one am one of the few that do NOT mind having to take the drug test.  Simply because of my husband's occupation.  He is a maintance worker at a packing plant.  Janitor many of you are thinking.  Sorry folks in a packing plant maintance folks are actually the skilled and higher paid employees.  My husband holds a Federal Journeymen's License in Electronics, an electrician, a mechanic, a trained first responder/emt and a supervisor who pushes paper work all in one shot.  The engines they work on can range from 10 lbs up to a thousand plus.  The wiring they work on is anything as a house might be to as complicated as wiring a whole panel of switches and wires that run anywhere from a dozen machines to the whole complex.  The electronics they work on look simple and most comp geeks would turn around and end up killing themselves with one misprograming of  a control.  I for one do NOT want a druggy or an alchie working anywhere near my husband.  Because SAFETY is important to NOT killing not only the maintance workers but the entire population of a plant. 

Many of you, myself included, do happen to wonder why one would have to pee for a clerk job, a cashier job, a bank teller job, food job, and the such.  Well simply put......if one is fucked up with drugs or booze......seriously folks your mind is fuckered be the reason and you do stupid shit like steal money or items, spit in someone's food, or server a food item that someone told you NOT to give them and you do and you kill them because they are allergic.  The list is actually quite endless as to the reasons.  As a teenager I got pist off as hell when I got my first real job as a supervisor/clerk at a small grocery store.  Why the hell did I have to have a pee test when I don't do fucking drugs?  As an adult I figured out the reason, just because someone says they aren't on drugs doesn't mean they are.  And it is safer just to test everyone then put your trust in someone who is lying.  And after my husband had to respond to one of his own crew when he was getting ready to come home one night.............I am a strong supporter of the pee test.  The dude was a drunk......hubby and his boss kept turning him in for drinking before, on and after hte job.  The dude had lots of DUI's and everytime my hubby got him out of the plant in NE, the union got him back on.  Then one day the guy was drunk off his ass..........and he didn't use his head.........and forgot his electrical gloves (the industrial rubber thingys-electricians will know what I am talking about) and granted he was only working on a voltage that normally wouldn't have killed anyway....he didn't even have the normal electrical gloves on and he got a volt of electricity through him and it killed him.  If it was a higher voltage he could have killed the employees in the general vicinity becuase even a small voltage caused a fire to break out in a panel room.  As it was my husband had to do cpr on the dude and when he turned over the dude to the paramedics he had to go help with the smoke inhalation folks. 

I wasn't to happy to have to go Pee for the Man today simply because I got a barely speaking English Asian lady as a lab tech and the woman couldn't do her job.  A pee test should take no more then 10 minutes tops.....evne if you can't pee!  Drink a few glasses of water fast and turn the faucet on!  The woman didn't understand what I was talkign about listing my medications so I wouldn't get dinged and refused too!  Then she wanted the whole dayum cup filled.  You know how many pee tests I have taken in my life time for various medical reasons and for employeement?  Not to mention I am the daughter of a Clinic/ER nurse!  You only need about less then half to fill the plastic wide vials to send off!  I knew I dind't have enough urine in me to fill the whole cup but she wanted a full cup!  I told her this and said okay.....and dropped me off in a waiting room with 1 small lil cup of water and said wait.  The bitch left me in the room for 20 mother fucking minutes while she dinked around in the room across from me.  I say dinked because I could see her fucking ass.  She was snacking on food, drinking a soda, and reading a mother fucking magazine.    Needless to say Niassa lost her temper.  And my sugars were out of wack all weekend for some reason and I was irritable as hell about having to make an extra stop for hubby to fill his truck up already.  So when I saw what she was doing and she told me to sit down and wait after the first time I told her I was ready and she blew me off I went the fuck off on her lazy dinky ass! 

Told her if she couldn't do her job then get the fuck out of the medical feild.  Better yet if she doesn't have enough to do in a doctor's office with a waiting room full of ppl out there then get her ass to a hospital.  And next time she blows someone off so she can fucking eat and drink a soda while reading a magazing  she better dayum well hope it isn't me again.  Not to mention she best learn to speak english clearly enough to understand what the hell someone is saying because if she fucks me over because she didn't list my medications I would have her sorry ass job not to mention her license.  Needless to say the Nurse Manager of the Office heard me going off and came and finished the test for me all the while apologizing.  I dont' know what was said to the lady but I know the Nurse Manager wasn't happy that I ended up going the hell off and being kept waiting while she read a dayum magazine sipping on a soda stuffing her fucking mouth.  I finally got out of the doctor's office at 10:30.  I got into the lab at 9:30 because I got to the office at 9:15!

I dropped off the employer sheet to the job site and told the manager what happened.  She took down a list of my medications to be on the safe side so she could let the corp health office know jsut in case the Nurse Manager fuckered up also.  And she is also going to suggest they use a different doctor's office to start doing the pee tests! 

On top of peeing for the man I might suggest that companies start testing for stupidity!:D

Okay this was an odd post I know.  I got to talking about why pee test were important and all that crap and ended up in a rant.  But you all will get over it:P
