If you don't know already I have a new job. The job is IT support for a construction company here in Darwin.
It seems that as a part of their safety requirements they perform random drug and alcohol testing. So you can't cheat the tests are unannounced ... I guess that's where the RANDOM part comes it.
So today after being with the company only 4 weeks someone poked their head around the corner and said "oh by the way you have to give a sample".
Well normally I don't like tests because I am really lousy at studying, but this test didn't require pulling an all nighter in front of a load of books. Just a clean lifestyle.
So I confidently knew this was one test I was not going to fail. I mean if they were to test for something like Chocolate Cookies then that one I would normally fail in a heartbeat but I've been on a bit of a clean eating kick for the last few weeks. So even the cookie test I could pass.
The only thing that was stopping me from acing this test was ... um ... like ... motivation. Well no problem I'll drink lots of water.
Well 4 bottles of water later and ... still no desire to be tested. People kept asking me, "ready to test" and I'd tell them I was working on it.
Well after about 2 hours I was ready to take the test. Oh by the way this test is performed in the presence of a referee (for lack of a better word). To make sure that you don't cheat. I mean that fact alone is enough to put someone off being motivated.
So off I went to find the person from the testing company, I said "I'm ready" and she said "oh we just wrapped up, I guess we'll have to get you the next time around". No problem I said and waved her goodbye and promptly trotted off to the mens.
