Random, eh?

Published

Do you ever just wonder how “random” is random? I think the closest I’ve ever tested together was on a Friday then a Monday (I guess they thought I’d party up that weekend). The longest I ever went was about 6 weeks until this year, my last, when I was mercifully dropped to 4-6 times a year. T-37 days and counting.

Seeee, I had the opposite experience. I went to Rome for 10 days in the middle of monitoring. I came back fully expecting to be tested ASAP but didn't get hit with a test for close to 6 weeks...

It was ludicrous. I called my coordinator to ask if I'd has any diluted or suspicious UDS, and she said that its not unusual to get a different test every now and then. I wanted to cry?

They waited 59 days to test me in the middle of a disney vacation this week.

Same thing on our last trip, day after flying for 12 hours... urgent care.

They want this to hurt as much as possible. Psychologically and financially

I am so thankful that I've only had the urine tests. I haven't heard of my peer program doing any of the other testings, the UAs are expensive enough.

My hair drug screen was about a month after a vacation trip to Vegas.

They would say, "It's random" but what defines "random" ?

This makes me think of machine land in the Matrix.
