the craziest thing happened to me today.

Post by princess »

i went to a job interview this morning. well prior to that i filled out an application and some tests and stuff. so today i had to go for a second interview. so i go there and talk to them about the job to get all the specifics. then they said all they had to do is drug test me and do a background check and i'd have the job. well as many of you know i smoke pot. not during the day or anything. but at night when my little one goes to sleep i like to take a couple of hits, relax, and spam up the boards ;) . but when i first started my job hunt i bought some stuff to clean out your system in case i had to get tested. so them telling me that was no big deal. then they pulled out this long blue stick and said suck on this for a minute and we will test you saliva (sp) for drugs. :eek: well i wasnt expecting that. i have never heard of such a test. so i didnt know what to do. well the best thing to do is just take the test and try to come up with a good excuse ( basically a good lie :D ) to try and still get the job. so i did it. then i had to wait for 10 minutes. after 10 minutes the receptionist took my test and went back to the managers office. so i'm thinking they will call me back and say it was dirty and send me home. well then she comes back and says it was clean :eek: !!!!! i dont know how that is possible. i smoked just last night. then she said they would call me in 5-7 days when they got my background check back. i said ok and practically ran out of there. lol. i am completely baffled by what happened. but i am happy that the test they use sucks and it doesnt really work, however im not going to be the one telling them :p . but then i wonder if they will just not call me back or what because it had to have come back dirty. i just dont get it. so tomorrow i will think of a reason to call and see if they say anything to me about it. if not then i guess i have a job. :D

You would be the richest person in the world if you develpoed a strain of weed that wasn't detectable by a drug test . . . Just like in Road Trip, High Times man of the year!!! If anyone invents a formula, let me be the second to know! :p

I hate to be the one to point this out But you are no longer single. Because you now have a baby, you cannot over look that fact that Weed is illegal in this country. You might want to know that Social Services can and will take away your child if they know that the Mother does drugs.

Posting so much Private info on a Forum may not be such a good idea...

Just my Opinion

Maybe they weren't testing for pot, maybe harder drugs such as coke, crank, herion.........

I think its time to stop using weed. I remember when you were pregnant. You spoke of joy and how you wanted nothing but the best for your child, and that included getting a good job.

You just failed that test - get clean, spend the weed money on the kid. You are now not alone.

Hey we don't know each other and I'm not ragging on you, I really do care about you and that kid.

And for crump, Idolizer her for being a great single mom in a tough world, not for smoking weed or beating a drug test

That wasn't the topic...If it would have been the topic, my response would have been accordingly. So since it was about pot....she is now one of my idols!!

i can respect your opinion, however...

first of all i am still full of joy and i do want the best for my son. and he does get the best. my son has everything he needs. he is not lacking anything. i will get a good job. just because i take a couple occasional hits doesnt mean i am unable to have a good job, or keep a good job.

thank you very much for your concern for my son and i. i really do mean that. :)

and as far as the money part of it. thats the cool part. i have a lot of friends that give me great deals. it's very inexpensive and i dont smoke a lot so it lasts me a long time. i dont think its wrong to spend a little money on myself. i think i am worth it!

i knew there would be people in here that would say stuff like this. so its no suprise. however would it be different if i came home and had a couple of beers? i bet no one would say anything about that. pot does the same thing for me as beer does for some of you. i just like pot better. it doesnt make me stupid, sloppy, and i dont fall all over the place or make an ass out of myself. to each his own.

now lets get back on the topic. i wonder why it did that. im still baffled. :confused:

I say it's real simple!

maybe it was a placeebo (sp) fake test,,maybe it was not ment to work,

maybe you passed the test just by going through with it! :)

Or maybe you failed and they just wanted to avoid a confrontation with you.

Many employers do this, which is the reason for the "We'll call you in a few days and let you know" response to some interviews.

They aren't going to give you the benefit of the truth because they don't really owe you that much, and plus they really don't care about your justifications for drug abuse. They've heard it all, believe me.

I would take this opportunity to reflect on your lifestyle and perhaps make some changes, one of them being losing the herb.

Trust me, you will crave it every once in a great while, but it's really nothing that bad. And besides, you shouldn't need weed to relax, unwind, and have fun - you've got a baby to do that with. :D

I worked for a company that would take "Hair " samples for drug testing. Hair sample can go back many years and is hard to mask, be glad they didn't snip some hair from you.

As for the pot smoking and being a responsible parent thing, I think you have to make that decision on your own. Just don't share that information out loud, it could come back to haunt you.
