I'm still kind of shocked they drug test you for weed in Canada.

in live in sarnia, ontario, canada, and know lots of people that work in "chemical valley"
its what we call the oil refiners and various other plants just outside of town, and along the st clair river at the mouth of lake huron
anyways my point being. a lot of the dudes that work there smoke weed, and do many other drugs. personally witnessed it, one of my good friends works as a pipe fitter. and has never talked about being drug tested.
in my imagination that kind of job would require drug testing if it was in america.
and fyi on the other side of the st clair river is port huron, michigan. in the 70's a toxic sludge of horrendous and unknown matter was discovered at the bottom of the st clair river and took decades to remove.

I think drug tests are a good idea but I don't think they should test for weed. Just stuff like speed/coke and barbiturates. The worst kind of person to have working for you though would probably be a drunk.

If someone wants to get wasted during their down time while not at work, that should be their own business. Now coming to work drunk is a total different ball game.....

Going to work hung over is a common problem among alcoholics. That's when it starts cutting into everyone else's time and is not cool. Nobody likes to deal with an irritable alcoholic who winces at every word in the morning. Pretty sure that's what Ikku meant. Either that or someone getting wasted on the job.

Yea I meant people being an irritable alcoholic because they haven't had their hooch yet that day, or being drunk at work. TOTALLY being a retro-hypocrite since I used to drink at work all the time, then again it was a rather menial job. And I learned my lesson after crashing my car and nearly dying in a drunk driving accident after drinking at work all day. Nearly two years ago...
Alcohol is still my favorite passtime, I avoid liquor and have switched almost exclusively to beer and wine since that incident. I drink more for taste than for getting drunk, although that doesn't really explain why I can never have just one.

Man i am so looking forward to Dour festival in two weeks, 72 hours of pure alcohol and drug fueled madness.
I loathe alcohol for what it does to people, although I don't mind getting plastered... I only drink at parties anyway but when I drink I do get drunk, there is no midway with me :p

The first night of reclaiming my den of iniquity as my OWN...and yet..whilst I can wank without worry, I am missing the recent presence of Wallsy...who should, all being well, return to the fold within ten days. Its that taste of home he brings to the fore, which I find an intoxicating elixir of intense magnitude. I now crave his return...

I got out of that lame ass job of working the backshift for 5 years and am finally working days again. Mon-Fri, 8:30-5. I pick and ship orders in a 100,000 square foot warehouse that supplies all of Atlantic Canada with telecommunications devices. Anything from modems, phones, cables, faceplates, nuts, bolts, safety harnesses, you name it. It's a pretty sweet job, for a guy with not much schooling after high school.
$12.00 a hour. 2 weeks paid vacation starting after my 3 months are up. Bonuses every six months of $1024.00 3 weeks paid vacation after my first year. 100% medical and dental and eyeglass coverage. 5 paid sick days a year. And we're paid for 11 holidays a year, where most jobs in Canada only pay you for 5 holidays.
Sounds real good man...congratulations
and abby... i know that they definitely drug test the miners over here... they are even testing now for synthetic thc,
it has become the most popular drug over the last year or two for miners
