Question: How shitty does your life have to be to want to habitually use substances that will only end up fucking you up even more so in the end?

As shitty as anyone else's. Susvain might just be more aware of how shitty it is.

Honestly though if given the choice. I would not do drugs to pacify my self.

Some people find drugs as entertaining as any of our other habits. Some people would even probably be able to more responsibly use drugs recreationaly if it weren't for our system of drug laws. And the big money in it.

But I feel like Susvain is the type of person who self medicates because they do not enjoy reality. Have not learned to enjoy life despite that self awareness of how shitty it is.

Drugs are great at keeping those people perpetually in control. Or fighting something. Rather than growing and understanding themselves.

I don't think you can get a job in todays society without pissing clean. With urine, probably means a month off any kind of drugs cleaning your system of shit with lots of water, exercise, and a good diet.

Clever people probably get a prescription for the kind of drugs they want to take so they can have a medical reason for coming up positive.
You can't? I thought pretty much any job that pays over $20 an hour doesn't drug test.

Ok, you got me there. Normally those jobs are either self employment, or highly skilled, and whats on your resume matters much more than whether your going to steal from teh company/stand infront of a forklift on dope.

Most of those positions aren't available to the druggy scrubs because they self select out of the ability to do those jobs.

Entry level jobs, large corporations all like to drugs screen though, and I bet they can right off the screening service under some kind of tax/benifit.

So Walmart, McDonalds, Lowes, Home Depot, Wendies, Radio Shack... they all I'm sure screen.

Linux System Administrator for Novell Corporate, or staffing agencies probably don't screen. But I've noticed those highly skilled tech jobs are all, contract, (self employed, meaning you right up a contract/project and do the work) or temp agency (meaning Novell sells product and you go set it up and configure it).

Some how I think the majority of us are in the former based on my experiences here.

So yes, there's plenty of opportunity. But you have to be skilled and in the industry currently working to seize on it. It's extremely fustrating for someone like me who is really overquallified for just about everything, but since the big corps own all the real estate/markets. There is no way for me to go into business for myself without some luck and a solid business plan, investors. No one invests in startup hardware stores or burger joints. Those are all self funded businesses.

When I worked at McDs long ago I never had to drug test. I even overheard my managers talking about how they couldn't drug test cause they'd lose over half the crew.

I work for a Fortune 500 chemical company where everyone makes well over 20 dollars an hour, most over 30$. Some are salaried, with upper positions making 6 figures. EVERYONE gets drug tested. From the plant manager to the janitor. Pre-employment, random testing, reasonable suspicion, and any type of accident or long term illness requires testing before returning to work.

Not long ago a supervisor was out for a couple months for achilles heel surgery and he refused to test when he came back, so they fired him.

Corporate has us thinking this is the norm in the industry. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It might be norm for your industry, since I imagine you're subject to some amount of government oversight/regulation. I'm in private software now and they can pretty much make up whatever rules they want.

If you get the job what are you going to do when they randomly test you in the future? Probably will lose it and then you'll have to start all over again. Do they even randomly test teachers? I can't imagine they wouldn't.

I hope it works out for you. I'm sure you can't like living like this. Your life seems to revolve around some kind of drug testing schedule with your doctor; figuring out what days you can get high and when you can't - and never knowing if it will work out in your favor. With random testing it's only a matter of time til you get busted. It's a fucked up cycle, for sure. I sincerely wish you luck though.
