Random Bitching Monologues

It wasn't successful, but even if it was a cockblocking strategy, why? She hardly knows me, certainly not well enough to assert such allegations, and she didn't even know the girl at all.

The only conclusion I can come to that makes sense is the girl I work with must really want a black eye.

[Zanshin]

That's just the man-whore in you talking.

maybe she knows a girl you whored up.  and now shes talking shtein cause you hit it and split it with her friend.  either way its your own fault if its true.  just make sure you keep up with the valtrex treatments.

Stab her.

Here's a can of worms I probably shouldn't open, but I will anyway:

How about mandatory drug tests for a job that has nothing to do with child care, using a gun, driving a truck, national security clearance, etc.  WTF is that??  I can cheat to get around it, I can make sure I'm clean well before it's given, etc...but nevermind that.  I object on principle.  What I do on my own time is none of the company's business.

or you could stop being a druggie.

Individual privacy is no longer a protected right. Hadn't you heard?

[Diomedes]

or you could stop being a druggie.

Exactly the response I expected.  So it's okay if I take Prozac or Zoloft, but not if I smoke a bowl?  So I should submit to medical testing to get a job?  So my privacy is mine only if I want to be a ditch digger?

Hand me a shovel.

[Rome]

Drug laws are absurd.  Drug testing is a ridiculous invasion of privacy.

That said, as a businessman, I wouldn't want a drug addict working for me.  Too much bullshtein to deal with, thanks.

[Tomahawk]

Just because a person tests positive for drugs in his system doesn't mean he's a drug addict.

Fair enough.  Manage your employees.  If you find job performance suffering, investigate.  If you learn the person is showing up drunk or high, fire them.  In other words, do your job as a manager. 

Presence of drugs in blood doesn't mean you're a "druggie." 

I haven't had a clean system in 5 years at least....I'm making six figures kicking ass in a difficult job.  If I'm a druggie, then I'm hella productive...I make straight suckers look like slacking potheads.

[hunt]

druggies have all the answers.  they always deflect the issue to alcohol or drugs they don't use.

it's illegal, cheech...deal with it or get a new job.

[Diomedes]

In other words, surrender my privacy in order to get paid.

No thanks.

[hunt]

or get a new job it is! 


ricky williams isn't the only person who values pot smoking more than his job.

[Diomedes]

When you make what I do, it's not an issue.  It's principle.   My current job doesn't give a damn, as they shouldn't.  The one I just interviewed for tests everyone. 

I could submit to it, but the principle is worth more than the money.  I didn't get where I am by selling myself out. 

Obviously, you can't imagine someone would use an illegal drug and still be productive, upstanding citizen.  That's your problem.
