And now for today's complaint...
Just curious, how much do these programs gouge us all for pee tests and how often? Just sort of an informal poll. Here in the lovely sunshine state we get hit for $55 a shot, minimum, more if they feel like running some dumb additional testing for no obvious reason. I've gotten slammed this calendar year alone for 20 so far! 4 of them were within 1 weeks time. Supposedly you can be "randomly selected" 24-27 times per year. At the so-called maximum, I will see another 7 this year. With 1/4 of the year left, maybe they'll leave me alone, for a little while.
Like many of us that are unemployed, this really hits us hard in the wallet. After a little number crunching, I've determined that this year this stupid thing will cost me almost $4000. (That includes these tests, the support group and $950 on an uncalled for joke of an additional evaluation.) At that rate, I'm paying more for this farce than I did for nursing school?? Makes me want to scream.
That is all.
