seriously worried ( not bike related )

well the company i work for have lost the contract i work on ( anglian water ) , we are getting taken over by a v.large company ( balfour beatie's ) on the 29th march . our jobs are protected by the ' tupe ' agreement BUT ???

our 1st days induction on the 29th WILL involve a pish in a bottle test , to check for traces of drugs !!!

well thats me fugged because cannabis takes approx 28 days to leave the body , we only found out about the test on the 16th , aint had owt since BUT aint no way on this planet am i gonna pass the test ( no chance what so ever ) , so looks like im gonna be signing on ( they wont give me owt due to the amount of savings i have .. fact )

so do i resign on the 26th ( next friday ) so failing a drugs test wont be on any work record of mine ( for future interviews etc etc ) or do i have a 'word' with them before hand & tell them the nearly truth that i packed in a month or so ago but traces of cannabis will prob be in the results ????? , im going out of me mind ( small as it may be lol ) with worry & so are about half a dozen of the lads , a couple of supervisors & 1 manager that i know of !!!

sorry to burden you with this personal sh@t , but ANY advice will ge gratefully recieved

weasel

first of all ...

can they legally do this test without your concent? ( likewise have they said if you dont concent you'll be deamed as a " failure " of the test )

balflour beatie , as you say is a massive company ( would you chalange a failier of the drugs test in court ? , saying it makes no difference to your working perfomance ) ( bere in mind they prolly have well paid / best lawyers at there disposal )

go to C.A.B. FIRST

are you in a union ? consult with them too as if this is a LEGAL proceedure

after that , and what they are doing IS LEGAL ( and your convinced that you wont pass the test ) ( reserch further ) i would resign ...chances of finding another job with a " failed drug test " on your record dont bode well ...

best of luck weasle ...but look into it before jacking it in ..

luv youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

and smoke a joint for me tonight ....

Mrs just come back from walking dog , told her , ....

they have this " policy " at ASDA ... ( and they know there shitt ) ( forgive the pun ) ...so i guess they are within there rights .

the rest is up too you .... ima bit gutted for ya ...been on the rock & roll now for 15 mnths ...monies all but run out ...dark days ahead ....

binky .. yes i can arrange a ' private test ' but aint no point man ( it WILL be posative ) cheers anyway

sts , i know they CAN do it legally & yes with a turnover of approx 5.4 BILLION per annum , their lawyers are pretty damn pooh HOT , looks like im fooked , just back from pub , only had 3 pints & 2 sambukas , thinking im gonna have to 'fess up a bit' & hope they appreciate honesty .

fugg , aint been on dole since i were a kid & dont wanna be , got enough 2 keep us going as we are for 2 years MAX , then ???

cheers for replys lads will keep ya posted .. weaz

feck weasel! not a good position fella,
can ya take a sample of someone else's waz that is clean ? just make sure its not a preggie birds though.
fingers crossed for ya dude

mickster I don't think they can sack you for being pregnant .... it's not like we live in the dark ages

Well........

I think its good that they check to be honest, if drivings involved, BUT.........The kidneys will excrete it quicker if you drink plenty of fluid and do lots of excercise......


Strangley I work for one of the biggest employers in the country and have never been checked. Suppose its a sign of the times.....

spose if you told them you'd had yer drink spiked that wouldn't wash unless you drank out of a very large glass

Ringing in sick??? telling your GP your depressed and getting a sick not for a month??????

[quote="EllieCat"]Well........

elliecat i forgot to mention i NEVER have / do , or will use it at work , only on an evening after sprog is in bed & everything's sorted will me & the mrs partake in a ' relaxing ' spliff or two , i agree with ya on ppl who drive / ride under the influence , drink or drugs .. & this comes from a man that lost his license cos of drink drive ( 1 of the best things that happened to me ) , never touched a drop & drove / rode since & yes i was a serial offender

You have PM, talk soon,

Keith.

cheers for the offer shad , & nice talking to ya & yes we'll catch up sometime , take it easy .

i say your a change man ...

stage 1 , covnert weasle from weed too orange juice ( almost a done deal )

stage 2 , get weasle too attend church EVERY sunday ( tricky but do-able )

stage 4 , get weasle too wear out chicken strips on his MV AGUSTA , ( hell !! WHAT THE f*ck AM I THINKING ? somebody commint me too the asylum )


only kiddin weasel ..good luck ..and watch out for yer skin changing coulour ...

just watch out though too much orange juice will make all your teeth drop out

sts ...

stage 1 ... might leave the weed alone , not missing it ( as much ) as i thought
stage 2 ... NOT do-able
stage 3 ... id rather KILL MESEN
stage 4 ... see how this summer goes ( will post pics IF i get em down to an acceptable level ) just to shut you the fugg up!!! ( only joking big fella )

p.s day 2 & they aint tested me today , but they've done half already & from what i hear got a few anorl ,( gulp )

HELLS BELLS & BUCKETS OF SHITT WEASEL ...you'll be well clear by the time they get round to ya ...

here's one on me

cheers for the drink binky , but make it a pint of lager ... taaaaa

well it went like this ....

day 3 ( in the house ) big brother humour there

got told theyre doing the rest TODAY!!!

got called at 12.00 , fugg i thought , took 32 ov em to drag me kicking & screaming to the torture chamber ( examaning room )

tied me to the electric chair & bound me down ( i was still fighting for me life )

gave me ' the lecture '

then dragged me , by the throat , to the dungeon ( toilet )

managed to lay about 30 ov em out by then ???

got told to >> , in the pot provided ( was getting whipped with barbed wire wrapped in nettles at this point )

dragged me back to the torture chamber ( by the hairs on me nads )

waited 5 mins for the 6 YES SIX strips to give the results

then ????? the little lines ???? started to appear

& guess what ????

i only gone & PASSED

i live to fight another day ( in court tuesday for crim damage & affray ) only joking , i FUGGIN PASSED

fugg me sideways.upside down & call me edna , i iz 1 happy bunny

BEWARE !!!! they might just do random tests in the future ..have ya thought about that ?

I think STS is saying you need to stay on the straight and narrow

yeah know about the random tests & they reckon about every 3 / 4 months they do em

like i said i aint missing it as much as i thought so will prob leave the weed alone , cos it stays in the system so long anorl , however ...... coke & speed clear out pretty fast , so i might indulge ( only from time to time tho )
