    To paraphrase an Old quote from catch 22
    Just because your paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you

    Know what to do if you mistakenly fail the test and then stop worrying about it. The answer is pay for and demand they test the split sample. You'll miss some work while this happens. Keep money in the bank or on credit cards so you don't starve 30 seconds after you miss 1 paycheck.

    I never thought of that until you mentioned it. Now I will keep my eyes on it until it's sealed.

    Of course drug test aren't 100%.There was one time ithougjt I'd have to take a random a second time because the lady that gave me the test was new and when she snapped on the lid one of the tabs broke off and she said it may be deluted.But it wasn't. Iwasnt worried for a positive result I just didn't wanna take time out of my work day to retake a test because the lady messed up.

    Drug test never bothered me........DOT physical, now that is
    a different story. I am always relieved when I pass it one more
    time. Ever since the Quack doctor at Concentra royally screwed
    me over the Sleep Apnea deal...............there is a special place in
    hell reserved for doctors like that.
