Gone Clean.

just sent the guy a thank you letter w a recommendation letter from my current boss (it's in the event industry, more labor than office, but anything helps)...

he told me as i walked out that it looked really good, it was great i spoke several languages fluently, i had a business degree, had a positive attitude, and that even though i didn't have experience in that particular industry, i had experience working with/remembering/recognizing part numbers........pretty much everything they needed. it's a sales position for one of the biggest companies in the US.... pretty psyched about it...

i've lived well below the poverty line since i graduated college and i'm tired of it... i'm too proud to take food stamps even though i qualify, and i've never taken unemployment even though i've worked since i was 17, and right now those checks would be a godsend....

i don't want to hate on the service industry too much though... that job has held me afloat for 2 years and my co-workers are among the hardest working people i've ever met... but time to move on to bigger and better things!!!!!!!

i'll get my first BMW before i'm 30. i guarantee it.

Congrats on the new job offer man! Hopefully you will eventually get to a position where they don't even ask for UA's anymore... May take a few promotions though ;)



Sounds like a really good break for you man. ;)

1 month should be enough... Just keep exercising, eating healthy, stay hydrated.... :)

Here is some good information to have, anyway though: http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_testing.shtml

Anyone wanna makes bets?

20 says he smokes by the 20th!







lol just kidding good luck bro
haha... it's gonna be hard not to smoke at first.... my gf still smokes... she has to go into the bathroom now as to not tempt me.... once i receive that first paycheck weed will be the last thing on my mind....

i've done 10-15 miles per day for over a month now. i have to drink well over a gallon of water a day b/c it's over 100 degrees outside when i go bike... i also burn the whole way, stop once for stretching, but the rest of the time i'm going almost 100%... i ride a lajolla cruiser, about 60 bucks new at walmart....no shifts, full aluminum frame, forks and stock wheels which are slightly bent and a little wider than would be ideal... i fly by these old farts riding carbon fiber, 5000 dollar rigs, wearing ultra tight, lancearmstrongish clothes... .... lol.... only 2 of the regular riders get past me and these guys have badass rigs and you can tell they've been doing it for a while...... i've been at it little over a month...

now i'm taking 300mg of niacin every day to boost my metabolism and just riding every day for about 1hr... i'll cut down on the niacin 1 week before the test just in case......if i don't pass that test in a month there's simply NO way to clean out your system in a month.... seriously...

i don't think so... lol

but it's not worth the time/effort IMO...

anyways i heard there's a lab that detects quick fix, something health works i think it is......i don't want to go down like that......

no im sure they dont but he said guy who he is replacing got fired for random ua
so he would have to live thinking any day can get tested not worth the hassle
affirmative. the guy interviewing me kinda let that slip out.... had he known i was stoned out of my mind during the interview... lol....

i'll cut down on the workout for a few days before the test... i'll dilute the shit out of my piss too by drinking a shit ton of water and taking multivitamins that morning... some might say it's not a good idea, better safe than sorry.

if it comes out as diluted i ride bike every day so i need to take in at least a gallon per day if not i risk dehydration when doing around 20 miles in this heat and on the trail i ride it's pretty much 10 miles flat, 10 miles slight uphill which BURNS especially with a single shift bike.....
 
congratulations on having the willpower of knowing to stop. when you dedicate yourself to something more important yourself, it is an enlightening experience. mental toughness is required while you get accustomed to doing tasks while not intoxicated. as long as you replace an activity with something else you are equally as passionate about the transition flows smoothly. although you cannot criticize or let jealousy affect how you see others; a positive presentation retains an influential perspective.

Glad to see you have your priorites straight. A good job is worth much more than getting stoned

good for you, im in the same boat in about a month. growing and not smoking is a nice way to curb the craving, yea its a bit of a tease but its nice to offload a harvest thats all profit.

just received an email.

monday is the second interview by phone with an HR guy.... man, that was slightly faster than the first guy told me... i hope they don't tell me i gotta take the UA next week.... on a side note i've tried very hard to find any info on whether or not they actually test, pre employment or random, and can't find shit... i found the employee standards of professional conduct, and didn't see anything about any drug tests... not gonna risk it though.....

yep, time to go clean. no weed for me until further notice.....

got a job offer, base pay of 40k with commission, the guy that last held my position did avg 58k per year....til he got fired for failing a random UA....

can't let this one pass finished my degree 2 years ago and hadn't got an offer quite like this. not gonna pass it up....not every day you get an offer for first office job out of college that pays 40k base.... oh and it includes FULL benefits, 18 days PTO per year, M-F, 7am - 4pm.... it's pretty fucking perfect.... and it's only 17 minutes away during the worst traffic i've ever seen on the interstate.....

the guy said that the whole process takes up to 6 weeks, and that the background/drug screen will be in about a month.... i've been a pretty regular smoker for years but lately i've smoked a few hits per day, not 4-5 joints per day like i used to......i do bike 10-15 (yesterday i did 20) miles every day and i am fairly healthy, so i should be clear in 2 weeks or so....

i'll have plenty of time to smoke once i retire.... i'm looking at a chance to move up and be making close to or more than 100k per year before i'm 40.

that's what's up......
Congratulations. I'm sorry that the job requires randoms but I'm glad you finally have a decent career. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I have an interview on the 19th and I'm really really really hoping I get it. Being unemployed for two years is bullshit.
