Positive

This week at work they decided to pull a surprise drug test on the supervisors. There are about three in our center but approximately 8-9 in the whole building. I shouldn't even call it a surprise because they are given a few days notice before. In my mind, that just goes to show that they don't mind if you smoke a bowl or do lines on the weekends; just don't let it impair your work performance. They give you a little under a week to detox. Or, you can do this:

My supervisor, D, was the first on the chopping block with his official urination scheduled Tuesday. How did he do? He simply didn't show up to work.

During our morning meeting that was the buzz going around. I just heard "test" and I thought they were talking about some job related written test. Later I found out it was a drug test, and knowing so kind of explained a lot about D.

The man goes off in tangents. One minute, he's working, going about his normal tasks. The next minute he'll come up to you with a serious look, do some random high pitched laugh with a joker face, and then go back to serious. Later on, he'll look at you in the eye and ask, "The fuck is your problem?" Then, he'll discuss with you about how stupid Saw 5 was. After break, when you walk by him (in the 5 foot wide walkway) he'll go off about how you're invading his space. The man is in his mid 40's with kids.

I'm pretty desensitized at this point to let anyone phase me. It's interesting seeing the various different types of characters I work with:

There's:

-The Substance Induced Psychosis Coworker
-The Verbally Abusive, Foul Mouthed Drugdealer on the side Coworker
-The Exceptionally yet Unusually Too Friendly Coworker
-The Drop Everything to Pursue a Conversation with You and Follow You Around While You Work Coworker
-The Smelly White Guy
-The Always Mad, Small Smart Ass
-The Always Mad, Older Small Smart Ass
-The High Blood Pressured, I-Take-Out-My-Frustrations-On-Inanimate-Objects Coworker
-TLC (See previous post, update: I threw a crayon at his head)



You don't have to work with them.
