Preparing or a Drug Test, I've Drank a Bottle of Rum...Humor Me!

[thaicat]

Ain't much joy these days. Granted, it's only been about 5 days since abstinence but to quote BB. King... ''The Thrill is gone.''

In the last few days, I've more less abandoned everyone I know, have become a complete dickhead, pissed off people from the East Coast to West and question how long I can survive this way. I can't sleep, I've searched for everyone that has ''wronged me'' over the last 30 years with intention to beat them down, am completely intolerable and have run everyone I know off.

How much longer can this drug free lunacy continue. At this point, I'm looking for a good reason to venture on.


Cock, shit...FUCK! This shit sucks.

I've spent the last 8 months searching for a job that didn't require a drug test. I ran my own landscape/lawn maintenance/garden design service for 10 years. I got out of that game and moved to another state. Everybody wants a drug test to cut freakin' grass, much less anything that requires a brain.

I finally get a hit. A guy wanted me to run a landscape crew. I've worked for all kinds and he asked if I had bi lingual experience. I ran a crew of Mexicans a few years back. We made our mode of communications and I told him so. Turns out, he put me in charge of a crew that spoke no English. I had no problem but at lunch, he asked if I'd take acourse in Spanish and come back.

FUCK that, As best I recall, I'm still in the US. I got fired because I don't speak Spanish

Thaicat you sound like you are living in Oregon. They drug test Everyone there. When I was in Oregon my partner wanted to test our employees because he thought it would give us some advantage. I told him to never say that to me again. Washington is much better about that, a lot less drug testing and the laws on cannabis are just more favorable. More money to make in Washington than a lot of states as well. My business is booming here.

As for speaking Spanish, it is a good thing to learn. It is the fastest growing demographic in the USA and will outnumber white people in a very short time. Your only chance of survival will be learn some Spanish so that you can manage crews that speak it. There are all kinds of forces in play and nothing can stop them. Your have to adapt or perish. I am just the messenger so dont shoot me.

I never shoot the messenger, in fact, I find great insight in your posts. I know you're right but it just doesn't seem right that I should be the one to learn a new language in the US. Yes, it'd be an all around good idea, I'm sure I would grow from doing so and as you say. In the end, it's inevitable.

I'm at a temporary standstill and can't do anything immediate that would better my position, financially. About all I need is a trailer and I'd start my own gig again. From my vantage point at this present time, that seems all but impossible.

I've run crews in landscape, lawn maintenance and boat building. I pretty much hand picked everyone that was a part of that and every one of them smoked. There are two arenas with that. Smokers that flat out get it done while buzzed and those that are picked off for being lazy.

I recall an ex cop that came to work on my crew while building Boston Whalers. Everyone on my team smoked and smoked whenever possible. He came in and realized that and thought he'd advance if he snitched to my Supervisor. He told my Super that everyone on my team smoked. The Supervisor told him it was when they didn't smoke that he worried.

I was a bit under the bottle when I wrote that last night and ironically, am now. It just sucks to have the best of intentions, knowing yo surpass the average worker and great things could happen if only given a chance but are cut down before you can ever show that.

So....You guys hiring? A great change (of some sort.) is about to happen in my life. It remains to be seen if that's a positive or negative change...

I have to ask...Did your partner smoke himself?

Don't get me wrong, I'd never consider hiring a meth head or crackhead but smoking weed....Commmmmoooon.

thaicat I see your point about having to learn Spanish to get a job in the USA. I knew people in GA that work construction and they really hate working with Spanish speaking workers because they work for much less money. But the fact is in certain jobs now you really have to learn Spanish to work. Here's an idea for you, most all international business is done in English and as a result native English teachers are in demand in Latin America. I make much better money here (Colombia) than I did in the states and never have to worry about a piss test or even fear getting busted. Yes you do need to speak a little Spanish to live here but 90% of the time I speak only English (and get paid very good money for it). It's like this, if you can't beat em join em. Not only that the women here are super hot and are really turned on by gringo's!

As you may know, I deal and broker art from Central and South America for the most part, and deal art from all countries. My partner is an old Japanese man, like 60. He is all about the business and profits. As long as I keep the profit margin high he doesn't confront me. We had a slow period in January and February and I had to explain to him that every retailer in the USA has that problem and there is nothing you can do. I have a lot of sales that are in the tens of thousands, but 90% of them are $500 or less, and those sales are to people that work for a living. But from a quarterly standpoint this venture has paid off in the margins that I had predicted. As long as your business or employer make 15% you are good. If you are making 20% you are golden.

I deal in Literature so I know all about slow periods. January/February are good months for me as kids are going to school. March and May are killers...Such is partially why my stress level is skyrocketing.

I've always wanted to learn Art.

Damn.. Cant edit my posts...

Quick Fix is what I was referring to. Works!

They won't watch you for a pre-employment screening in my state, just court ordered tests.

Heating pad + plastic bladder under your pants + hose with clamp. No problem.
