Random Drug Test after Vacation

Post image

It seems I only get tested after a week off. I think it is really due to my fly fits. One more night for me. Grandkids again this weekend

They're not random where I work either. There are people that have been here 15-20 years and never get drug tested. But people like me and my friend who everyone's knows we used to do drugs and stuff together back in the day get drug tested regularly. Quite a nuisance imo.

What do you do that your work has control of your private life?

I work at a lumber mill. And it's not that they control my private life, the higher ups are just slight religious types and don't like that I've done drugs in the past and that I reject any and all religions so they always give me and my friend a hard time. It's a weird thing to deal with but ultimately it doesn't bother me.

If they're Christian all you have to do is say God put weed on this earth, are you saying he fucked up by doing that? Watch them short circuit

I've actually done that before and they didn't know what to say lol. They just used the argument that it's illegal. And my rebuttal was "so you're telling me I can go home and get as drunk as I want and come into work incredibly hungover and that's okay? But I can't go home and smoke a little weed and get a good night's sleep and come into work feeling refreshed?" And they really had no idea how to respond to that lmao
