DRUG TESTING & FIRING!



DRUG TESTING & FIRING!


I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A FRIEND IN FLORIDA CONCERNING A WAY TO BEAT AN IN-HOUSE RANDOM DRUG TEST FOR MARIJUANA. YOU PEE IN A CUP ON THE SPOT, AND IT READS POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE-PERIOD! HAVING BEEN IN THE MEDICAL FIELD FOR 30 YEARS AND ADMINISTERING 1,000'S OF THESE BAD BOYS FOR PEE-EMPLOYMENT, I GUESS THEY THOUGHT I'D KNOW HOW TO BEAT EM".

NOPE!  I JUST COLLECTED THEM, UNDER STRICT GUIDELINES AND CHAIN OF CUSTODY PAPERWORK TO ENSURE RELIABILITY FOR BOTH PARTIES..AND SENT THEM TO AN INDEPENDENT LAB. 

IT WAS THEN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE "BOSS" DID THIS REGULARLY (AS IN EVERY YEAR OR TWO) WHEN HE WANTED TO "PURGE" HIS SMALL COMPANY OF UNDESIRABLES (WHY HIRE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE), AND GET OUT OF 

HAVING TO PAY UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS!

IF FIRED AND THEY TEST POSITIVE- HE DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY UNEMPLOYMENT- 
AND THEN HE HIRES A NEW BATCH FOR LESS HOURLY WAGES.
THERE IS A LARGE POOL OF PEOPLE WILLING TO WORK IN THIS AREA!

THE MONEY SAVED ARE FROM THE SMALL RAISES GIVEN OVER "X" AMOUNT OF TIME. BUT IT CAN'T BE A LOT.
I UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS COMPANY HAS ABOUT 50-70 EMPLOYEES AT ANY GIVEN TIME, AND REMEMBER THIS IS JUST THE STORY FROM THE EMPLOYEES SIDE, BUT THIS IS A DEPENDABLE AND HONEST PERSON WHO HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TEST.

MOST OF THE EMPLOYEES WHEN CONFRONTED WITH A PEE IN THE CUP NOW, IN HOUSE TEST, WITH NO CHAIN OF CUSTODY, OR SAFEGUARDS FOR THE EMPLOYEE-PEOPLE JUST WALK OUT- STATING EITHER-


1. I BELIEVE IT IS A VIOLATION OF MY RIGHTS, NOT TO HAVE IT ADMINISTERED PROPERLY.
2.OR KNOWING THEY WERE BUSTED. 
3.SOME DID TAKE IT AND TESTED POSITIVE ON THE SPOT.

I HAVE SEVERAL CONCERNS:

1. I DO BELIEVE THAT WHAT YOU DO AT HOME- IF IT DOESN'T IMPAIR YOUR ABILITY TO WORK, SHOULD BE YOUR BUSINESS. SOMEONE COULD GET DRUNK EVERY NIGHT AND BEAT THEIR SPOUSES AND CHILDREN YET KEEP A JOB.

2. IT IS TRULY NOT A LEGAL PROCEDURE- IN FAIRNESS, THE BOSS DOES SEND SOME OUT IF CHALLENGED, BUT NOT EVERYONE HAS TO TAKE THE TEST--HOW ARE THEY CHOSEN?

3. IF, IT IS INDEED TO CLEAR THE HOUSE SO TO SPEAK- IS THIS ETHICAL TO SAVE MONEY THIS WAY, IF THAT IS THE ONLY FACTOR? OR IS IT A SMART BUSINESS PRACTICE?

LET ME THROW THIS IN--

THE BUSINESS IS A BBQ SMOKEHOUSE AND CARRY OUT RESTAURANT. THEY SMOKE HAMS (AR AR) AND SERVE BBQ! THERE ARE NO REAL SKILLED POSITIONS AND NOT MUCH IF ANY EQUIPMENT INVOLVED.  POSITIONS ARE MINIMUM WAGE WITH NO BENEFITS, AND NO HS DIPLOMA OR GED REQUIRED. THEY ARE NOT DRUG TESTED WHEN HIRED!


WHAT DO YOU THINK:

FROM THE BUSINESS OWNERS STANDPOINT?

A LEGAL STANDPOINT?

AN ETHICAL STANDPOINT?

A PERSONAL STANDPOINT?

I AM FENCE SITTING, AND I CAN SEE A LOT OF DIFFERENT AND CORRECT ARGUMENTS FOR BOTH SIDES. I THINK THE THING THAT STICKS IN MY CRAW IS IF SOMEONE HAS SHOWN UP FOR WORK FOR A 1 TO 5 YEARS, HAS HAD NO WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS, AND IS A GOOD EMPLOYEE OTHERWISE-

THIS JUST SUCKS! 

HOWEVER--SMOKING MARIJUANA IS ILLEGAL!



THOUGHTS? COMMENTS? WHO CARES?


SMOKE EM IF YA GOT EM!


LOVE YA ALL!

WOMAN



WOMEN



WOMEN

A real woman is a man's best friend.

She will never stand him up and never
 let him down.

She will reassure him when he feels insecure and comfort him after a bad day.

She will inspire
 him to do things he never thought he could do; to live without fear and forget regret.

She will
 enable him to express his deepest emotions and give in to his most intimate desires.

She will
 make sure he always feels as though he's the most handsome man in the room and will enable him to be the most confident, sexy, seductive and invincible...







No wait...Sorry.

 






I'm thinking of whiskey.  It's whiskey that does all that crap.
Never mind.





AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO GO BACK IN THE WATER.........


LOVE YOU ALL!

I'LL BE THERE



I'LL BE THERE


HUMMING MICHAL JACKSON'S SONG!

MEN:

WHEN SOMEONE AROUND YOU IS HURTING. JUST BE THERE- DON'T RUSH TO FIX IT!

WHEN SOMEONE YOU KNOW NEEDS SOMETHING, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT:  JUST BE THERE! & BE QUIET!

WHEN SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT SEEMS A LITTLE "OFF": JUST BE THERE IN THE BACKGROUND!


PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THOSE AROUND YOU. AND NOT JUST WHAT THEY SAY, BUT HOW THEY SAY IT, HOW THEY CARRY THEMSELVES, HOW THEIR LIGHT SHINES- OR DOESN'T! 


PAY ATTENTION TO SUBTLE CLUES AND JUST BE THERE! 


IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT US GUYS--SOMETIMES THE WOMEN IN OUR LIFVES NEED US TO REIGN IN THE TESTOSTERONE AND BE A FRIEND, AND A SENSITIVE AND CARING FRIEND AT THAT.  THERE ARE SEVERAL AROUND ME RIGHT NOW WHO NEED ME TO BE THAT FRIEND. ONE AT HOME, ONE IN FLORIDA AND ANOTHER ONE,
"I THINK".
HOWEVER I'LL ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND BE THERE FOR THEM ALL! I DON'T HAVE TO KNOW THE RIGHT WORDS, OR SUPPLY ANY ANSWERS- I JUST NEED TO BE NEAR!


I DON'T HAVE TO RUSH IN AND EGO THE DAY AWAY- I JUST NEED TO HEAR!
LORD: PLEASE GIVE ME EARS TO HEAR AND THE WISDOM TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT UNTIL YOU GIVE ME THE PROPER WORDS--IF THEY ARE EVER NEEDED AT ALL!


HELP ME JUST TO NOTICE LORD! FOR ALL MY FRIENDS......
LOVE YOU ALL!

Things I know about the South



SOME OF THESE ARE LAME!



Things I know about the South
A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.

 OR THE WOODS!

There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in the South.



There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in the South, plus a couple no one's seen before.



If it grows, it'll stick ya. If it crawls, it'll bite cha.



Onced and Twiced are words.

It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy!

Jawl-P? means Did y'all go to the bathroom?

People actually grow and eat okra.

Fixinto is one word. It means I'm getting ready to do that.

There is no such thing as lunch. There is only dinner and then there is supper.

Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar. It is referred to as the Wine of the South.

Backerds and forerds means I know everything about you.

The word jeet is actually a phrase meaning Did you eat?

You don't have to wear a watch, because it doesn't matter what time it is, you work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH em.

Ya'll is singular, all ya'll is plural.

You measure distance in minutes.

You switch from heat to A/C in the same day.

All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect, or animal.

You know what a DAWG is.
HOPE

You carry jumper cables in your car - for your OWN car.
AMEN!

You only own five spices: salt, pepper, Tonys, Tabasco and ketchup.
 AND CRAB BOIL!!!

The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but require 6 pages for local high school sports and motor sports, and gossip.


You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.



You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit a bit warm.
 99


You know what a hissy fit is.


Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite pastime known as goin Wal-Martin' or off to Wally World.
 ACTUALLY TAKEN AT WAL-MART!

You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chicken stew weather.
 CCCCCCC-OOOOLD!!!!

Fried catfish is the other white meat.

 OR CRAPPIE, SPECKS, SPECKLED PERCH OR PAPERMOUTH!
We don't need no dang Driver's Ed. If our mama says we can drive, we can drive, dag-nabbit.


You understand these jokes and forward them to your Southern friends and those who just wish they were from the SOUTH.
 unfortunately--All pics are mine,


AND I LOVE YOU ALL!
