New Job!

So, I haven't blogged in a LOOOOOOONG time! But, I'm back...for now... But in the mean time, I got a job! It's a part time job working for Renewal by Anderson as an event specialist...meaning that I work at the trade shows. I'm very excited about it! So, I had to take a drug screening on Monday. I've never taken a drug test before. I all of a sudden got very embarrassed; this peeing in a cup for a stranger thing seemed very odd and personal! I walked into the clinic and didn't know what to say, "I'm here to pee in a cup..."? That seemed inappropriate...AND they didn't take appointments so I couldn't say over the phone what it was for and show up and just say my name...So, I had a piece of paper I needed to give the clinic that was to collect my pee; I walked up to the front desk and just handed them the piece of paper and didn't say anything...

I felt like if I had said I need to take a drug test the other people in the lobby would judge me, like I was in trouble for drugs...and then that's weird, "I'm here for a drug test, not because I'm in trouble for drugs, because I'm not, I've actually never taken drugs, except that one time I took too much NyQuil, but that was on accident, funny story actually, I thought it was DAYquil, but it wasn't and I went to work, and I was SOOO groggy and ended up spilling the chocolate all over...but that's not why I'm here, I just got a new job and they require this before I start and I'm very excited to start, it's actually a great opportunity and I've applied for so many jobs and had only just a few interviews...." flash to me sobbing about how hard it is out there to not have a job...
So, as you can see, it was better for me to just not say anything and just hand over the paper...
