Red Alert: I may be submitted to a random drug test tomorrow at work.
I haven't smoked in about 2 weeks. But I'm worried. Will they fire me if I fail?

Sucks to be you. Roll them numbers and takes yer chances.
Actions? Consequences?
My employer gives a mandatory 3 days off with no pay, and you have to complete a substance abuse program at your own cost. On top of that, you are tested once a month for six months, and you have to pay half of the costs for those tests. After that, your name will pop up more often on the random test list.
I always look forward to being tested, because it's an hour long break from work since the testing place is offsite. :-)

Dummies live the most simple lives.. all they need is weed, abortions, and homosexuality.
Are the DUmmies aware that when they have their "accident", they will be tested and if they come up hot, their claim will be denied?

I cried at work today...
First time ever.
Then I was late for work because I had to borrow my roommate's bicycle. Then I was written up for being late.
I basically had an emotional break down in front of my managers. They looked horrified and apologized profusely and gave me free cigarettes and a long break.

I work somewhere that pays just above minimum wage and everyone's on food stamps...
We started doing random drug tests in about 1986, if I remember correctly. Did them every month til I retired in 2011. I was never worried about coming up hot.
One joint will stay detectable in the average system about one week IIRC.
he sounds like a supervisor's nightmare. I'll bet they will be glad when he pisses positive so they can get rid of his DUmbass.
But what does he care? He hates his job anyway.
And it's not like he'd be hard to replace.

Military urinalysis started in 1981, IIRC. I enlisted in 1984, and remember whizzing in the bottle when I got to Great Mistakes, and innumerable times thereafter. None of this, "Hey, in three days" crap. You showed up, the Chief said, "The magic number today is, "X" so YOU, Sparky, will provide before you leave the boat," etc.When I was in the USAF they called it operation golden flow and they would pull people at random off the flight line and send them directly to the base hospital for a test. I remember one time we lost a few guys because of this. The never returned to the flight line and could be seen around the base for several months mowing lawns and raking leaves until their discharge paperwork was processed.
Then I left the Navy and every job I've had has had drug testing as a condition of employment. My last job, if I didn't supply (ON SITE) within two hours, that was considered a refusal to provide and you were fired. Period. A positive test was a termination, although you could in theory reapply in five years, although it was all but certain you'd never get hired at any nuclear plant anywhere again.
To paraphrase a certain guy, "You don't want to piss hot? STOP TAKING DRUGS, ASSHOLE!"
One wonders, if he is scheduled for a test tomorrow, how can it be random? But, anyway
Numerous suggestions as to how such a test can be foiled, but not a single DUmmy has said anything about not putting substances in the body that are/might be prohibited by the employer and/or the legal system.

1. Call in sick.

2. For a number of reasons I cannot do that.
I'm going to buy an at-home piss test right now.
Gravitycollapse (4,837 posts)I did not know one could buy an at-home drug test. My guess is the DUmmie was high and bought a home pregnancy by mistake. On the plus side, at least we know GC is not pregnant.
8. It came back negative. Thank God.
...and gave me free cigarettes and a long break.

Gravitycollapse (4,837 posts)I'm sure this Dummy thinks he's in the clear and smoke a few bowls this weekend to celebrate. It would be poetic justice is the results of his test were "lost" and he had to re-test next week.

Here's how you cheat the piss test, the night before the test you smoke as much pot as you can possibly smoke, the THC levels in your body will be so high that a false negative result will come back.

The words, Go smoke a roap come from the old time Navy, sort of liking cat nip, makes one woozy and sick'Some say' that years ago one could get high from smoking hemp rope, but it wasn't limited to the "...old time Navy...", inasmuch as hemp was widely used.
Gravity collapse is the DUmmy that had a breakdown at work a week ago. Coincidence? I think not. They're now looking for a way to boot his sorry azz. ;)
I can only speak for the Army, but it was doing that from the time I enlisted in 1975 onward. The program and the regulation governing it went through several mutations over the years, mostly with a eye to improving the chain of custody and eliminating the opportunity to swap something for the sample or add anything to it.
Heavy/chronic usage will remain detectable for a month in a piss test. If he'd done coke or acid two days or more ago, he'd be home free.
Of course, the drug test might be a hair sample test instead of a piss test, which will give a much more complete idea of the DUmmie's favorite intoxicants in recent weeks...

I had a guy, who had been a good soldier, snort cocaine which had been provided by the drug control NCO of the HHT (Headquarters & Headquarters Troop for GOBUCKS).
Well, I hope the HHT and the RCC sent their TTP forms up the chain of command to the CVO. If not, the RBP would catch them and they'd spend their MMD in the worst EMR you can imagine. Most folks would think WTF to the LS/MFT.
Oh, but you're not the only one here who has a problem with all these strange acronyms.I work with a bunch of Indians (dot not feather) that insist on using acronyms at all possible occasions. It's intolerable.
<<<had a fifth-grade teacher who insisted people who used acronyms rather than spelling things out, were lazy.
<<<tends to not be lazy.

I had a guy, who had been a good soldier, snort cocaine which had been provided by the drug control NCO of the HHT (Headquarters & Headquarters Troop for GOBUCKS). When his name came up for the piss test, said drug control NCO allowed said Spec4 to dip the cup into the urinal. Gas chromatography picked up the chlorine (because of chloroform present in the water), it was listed as a 'real positive,' and he lost a stripe over it. The drug control NCO wound up getting caught selling a tiny amount of coke to an undercover CID agent, and spent the next 10 years in Kansas.
I saw "HHT", an acronym I've never seen anyplace, ever, and I'm like "WTF?"
You must have been cav.This probably ain't gonna end up well, either. :lmao:
You must have been cav.
Roger that--I was the Squadron Signal Officer of 2/3 ACR. Many moons ago.
I was cav my entire career, 5/17, 6th cav, and 1/10 cav.
I'm a little suspicious of gravity dummie's piss test. Back in the good ol' days when I only had to work from 9 to 5, companies didn't give one advanced notice of piss tests due to all the "cleansers" that were sold that one could take that supposedly covers up the THC levels. Unless beating the test is no longer an issue, why would they give him advance notice?
I'm thinking yet another ploy for attention after gravity's whining "down in the dump post" of a week ago.
