Happy Independence Day. I had to work third shift. I knew when I signed in today it would say I have to do a random uds. I guess they figure since it was a holiday we might mess up....no problem.... Just thought it was funny and wanted to share.

Oh yeah! I can remember having to give a UDS on a holiday and then having to go the very next day. Once I had to go the following day to make 3 days in a row. Like they were thinking "Well, if she didn't do anything on the holiday and she gave a specimen that day, she may think she can get away with it the next day...or the next day. Ugghhh!

You know, I thought for sure I would be tested today. Checked in and I was not selected. There is always Monday....if it truly is 36 tests, like I was told by HPMP, I have 7 left for the year.
