Tomorrow I have a blood exam and I have no clue how It will go... But I want to B positive

Glad it was a blood test; urinalysis really pisses me off.

Great, which ones are we testing?

I've always wondered how accurate those tests are to begin with. I have to imagine, based on my experience, it's not great.

When I was young and dumb and hanging out with the wrong crowd, I was a regular drug user, including the most dangerous thing of all ... marijuana. GASP.

I worked several jobs that did regular "random" drugs tests during those years. And I passed each and every time. It makes me think the tests are heavily flawed and/or there's something unusual about my metabolism.

One time, my employer did a random test right after I got back from spring break. Let's just say, I probably wasn't sober more than 5 minutes for the past month at that point. Strangely, they let us go into a private bathroom that had a toilet and a sink to produce the sample. I literally just pissed a tiny bit into the cup, then filled it up the rest of the way with warm tap water. That was apparently good enough. I even knew they supposedly tested for things like creatine levels (to detect dilution) and chlorine/chloramine (to detect tap water), but I was hoping for the best. Apparently, it wasn't an issue.

On the flip side, a friend of mine who rarely smoked weed got busted. She'd literally smoked up the night before, for the first time in over 6 months.

Shit's fucked up.

I think it is wild that there are countries that allow this distopian shit at all. Sure, if you're a pilot or something random tests are fine, lives depend on you being fit to fly. But for most jobs having used drugs the evening before wouldn't affect the job, so it should not be the employers business what you do in your own time.

It could also be them not caring. I know the call center I worked at only drug tested because clients required it, but they ignored weed for sure (CEO told me himself). If they were in a hiring crunch, they'd ignore other stuff.

"I could probably tell you if they're any good just by looking at them but sure, we can test them"

Oh that's great, I was studying hard for this last night
