they want healthy employees. but i don't see them telling fat people to stop eating. ::) how the hell are we allowing them to dictate out lives, i mean where is the world going? people have to stand up and refuse to take that shit.

You need to fuck off, unless you really know what it's like to try to get a fucking job. You have the attitude of an unemployed idiot.

 :minusevil:


yeah and if you had read my next posts you would know i know it's hard. :minusevil: right back at you angel fluffy bunnah!

yeah i'm unemployed for good fucking reason.

i know how hard it is to find a fucking job you angel fluffy bunnah. i could never find one. cuz of how i am. so don't tell me i don't know. i was just saying what i think people should do, as a collective. i didn't mean any one person should do it alone. but maybe you'd know that if you'd asked me before you fucking gheyed me you hothead. :finger:

edit: can't type when mad gerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Nothing to be mad about, anyway. You posted from what I believe promotes a fools mentality. I merely called it such.

I chose to make personal sacrifices to try and find a lifestyle that makes some sense in my situation. You don't have to like it. Hell, I don't have to like it - I just have to do it. You don't, so fuck off with your perfect world bullshit.


Ah, shit!
I just noticed I'm dealing with someone who has the color of power in their stars. I know your not Callaway. I'll be damned if I can figure out who I'm talking to half the time, here.
Doesn't really change anything. Prank me if you need to.

:D

Just responding to your post as posted. I was not aware there should be several more posts to try to get your meaning straight. I'll remember that.

Miscommunication, sure. Perfect world if everyone would just, whatever. I don't think so.

I guess that ends the conversation, eh, Nazi.

I admire you for doing what you need to do for your family, DirtDawg.

My husband had a job in the past where they took his hair to test for drugs.  That is a drug test that goes back for a longer time.  He was reluctant to even eat poppyseed muffins.

Just ask renaeden what happened when she used recreational substances...

what happened when renaeden used recreational substances? she became really sober?
Didn't know this was here.
Anyway, I took LSD and stared at cloud patterns all night.
I took Ecstasy twice but nothing happened but the other people with me were off their heads.
I have smoked marijuana a fair few times and I started to get very paranoid on it so I stopped.
That is about it.

I wish they would make Dexamphetamine long-acting so I can take it once before work and that's it. Going to have to work out a way in the new job to take it without being noticeable.

you can put them in a mint container. or something. or in take in the bathroom. there's at least water there and noone can see.

pot never did anything but i didn't smoke enough of it. i dunno. i just had a few puffs, once i bonged and that didn't do anything either.

i love dexamphetamine.

BTW, I voted as a substance abuser. I will do anything that promises to make me "feel good."  I'm a doper, but I've never been busted, never overdone it to the point of external attention and never ended up in the hospital, except for my experiments with Melatonin.

I have had to make a few choices lately to stay "clean,"  due to the policies at work. Otherwise, I would probably smoke a little dope to get to sleep, each night. It would really help me get to sleep, but I would lose my job, when I get caught.



</confessional>

that annoys the shit out of me. unless you work in a role which directly affects the safety of others, e.g. air traffic controller, *insert vehicle here* driver, why the fuck is it an employer's business what you choose to partake of outside working hours (providing of course you don't show up for work off your chops)? luckily drug testing employees is much less common on this side of the pond. invasion of fucking liberties. :tantrum:

I'd be tempted to stick a little amphetamine in the water cooler.  Would they fire everyone then?  Including themselves?

They'd have to prove intent, I think, and that goes for every such case, policy or no policy. In practical terms, I doubt that is a problem unless you catch two dozen people high on amphetamines.

From what I've read about it, if you test positive and can't produce a prescription, you're auto-fired.  I've never read a case where the employer had to prove anything, or even offer or allow a re-test.

In this country, at least, you could go to a court (with help from your union, usually) and have them retry the case. Surely, if several people tested positive, all of a sudden, there would be enough reason to do that?

Whoa, what's wrong with that? I agree, more or less. And I know what a pain in the ass it is to look for a job; it's one of my least favorite activities. I don't even do drugs. I just don't like the fact that WalMart gets to fucking pick and choose who gets to fill their shitty $7 an hour stocking work.

So, what are you saying?

You agree with what? You know it's a pain in the ass to find a decent job and you don't do drugs. How are you insulted and by what, exactly?

Any potential employer, even the evil giant, Walmart, has the right to hire by any standard they choose, as long as they don't reject any prospective applicants, based upon a religious, racial, creed, color, blah, blah ...

How is this a problem for you?

... or are you saying that I am being a little closed minded, now that I have begun to make personal progress once again?

I really don't have a clue what you are trying to say.

I don't think I can straighten it out, because I'm not really sure what you think I was trying to say. It's too hard to find bad work, is all. Companies like WalMart (old hat, I know) kill all the competition for low paying, entry level work and then make potential applicants jump through hoops to get a job (they have an online "character" test that takes something like an hour and a half to fill out).

 :minusevil:

People are unemployed for various reasons, and that doesn't necessarily make them an idiot as such.

I would finish this post off with another ad hominem attack of mine, but I don't think that this statement applies to me personally.

EDIT: Sorry, I'm a bit tipsy tonight.

That is what I used to do. Or get the pills from my locker and put them in my mouth when no one was looking and then get a drink from the water cooler. I just don't know what it will be like at the new workplace.

Sorry to hear pot did nothing for you, but that is how it is with some people actually.   It isn't always that strong anyways, unless you get really good stuff.   Just because a bud looks pretty, it does not mean it is potent THC wise.
:P   Internets are super serious.
