My first rotation is making me do a hair test, good thing I'm not "celebrating" and haven't been for years.

I just found out what 4/20 meant! I gave up the weed years ago... #sayNO2drugs!

I'll admit to it. Waked and baked. Took a short break from work at 2 PM to roll one up and blunt cruise back. Came back from work at 6 and rolled another one up with friends. Now I'm leaving in a couple of minutes to celebrate with one of my chemistry major friends. 😀 May as well it enjoy it now before pharmacy school starts kicking my butt.

OK I;ll shut up now. Discussing this is against the ToS. 😱

Are you confused what a hair test is? Or why are they making me do one?

A hair test is when they test your hair for drugs. It can detect up to 90 days of drug use.

As to why, I guess because it's one of the 10 largest pharmaceutical companies, and it has money to do so.

I must say that I have never tried drugs before (nor do I have any intentions of starting). I smoke black n milds every once in a while and drink but that's about it.

It just sounds odd because I've never heard of it, and I didn't know they would pick your hair to test instead of everything else.

I'll take the tacos. Fresco style plzz

 

[crazybob]

You guys are making me want to go to Taco Bell. But I need to sleep and wake up on time for classes tomorrow.

Because the turnover of hair is longer than skin cells, etc. Especially in long haired hippie types.

I challenge you to ditch school tomorrow.

You know that alcohol is a drug right?

If I were in undergrad, I'd say I would at least consider it. But since I'm in pharm school, I don't think so. I know, that sounds nerdy. Make all the jokes you want

Everything is a drug. Mouthwash, toothpaste, coffee, anything you take into your body and affects your body can be classified as a drug. Usually when someone says they don't take drugs, their meanings is understood.

@deleno - Me neither. I was good boy growing up and bought into the whole just say no campaign. I can't say I was ever really tempted either, other than mild curiosity.

@bob - Like others have kinda said, they pick hair because it shows a longer time-frame of drug use. Blood or urine levels are undetectable relatively quickly, and skin cells are turned over too quickly. I think you could use nail clippings, but I guess hair is easier? Not really sure. I suppose a bone sample would show an even longer time-frame, but I suppose people would complain if you tried that.

It shows a longer history than the general pee test, but most places just do the "pee in a cup" because it's cheaper.

My personal favorite pre-employment screening was the polygraph.

It's also Hitler's birthday and the anniversary of the Columbine massacre!

Wow, that makes for an interesting greeting card... haha.

 

[unevache]

Someone made you take a polygraph? First of all, those things have a pretty high inaccuracy rate. Second of all, what kind of draconian company made you do that?
