Yeah, my first was LSD. No regrets there. I came out of it with a feeling like I had to tell the world about what they don't understand or know.... well, I couldn't put it into words, so I never told the world. Anyone who's tripped balls gets it without words though, and that's what matters 8)

Turn on, tune in, drop out.

Well shit.

The job I was hoping to start this month at a prestigious university fell through. So sitting on my hands for 30 days waiting to start this job, dreaming of the free education, and excited to fuck around in a real lab again DASHED...

Oh well. So I applied for other jobs today and was hired just like that. A bit of a let down but it is what it is.

Hey, at least you found work... I have been applying to various careers for the past 5 months and tomorrow I'm having my second fucking interview. Second. Out of maybe 100 job applications. Like what the fuck does a man have to do to earn a living? It's not even a job I'm really interested in, just the only one calling back. They're gonna drug test me, luckily only saliva so I can easily clean up for it :\ I even have a bachelor's degree and I've never made over 10 dollars an hour. They say we're in the worst economic depression since the Great one almost a century ago. I never really got that while I was in college. Well now my parents hate me and act like I'm a degenerate because I've been searching for work and failing so god damn hard. My girlfriend takes me on dates, not vice versa. Maybe I could qualify for government subsidies, not sure... My degree has done nothing but hurt me since I earned it, I'm over-qualified and under-experienced. College is a joke kids, don't fucking go. Do something smart like learning a trade. America hates the liberal arts, try finding you a job with a god damn degree in it.

College helped me a lot but I will say this: be damn sure what you want. Otherwise, you could end up no better off with a substantial debt.

Still, gotta say, if I hadn't gotten my degree in computer science, I would be struggling.
 
Am I the last person in the world to see Twin Peaks? I just finished the first season and it's nothing short of incredible. All eight episodes in two days, I couldn't stop myself. I never want the world that is Twin Peaks to end.

Congrats man. I know how it feels to be looking for a job. I'm currently employed, but the work sucks and the pay is shit. I'm actually qualified for better work, unfortunately I have a misdemeanor on my record which has proven to be a very significant obstacle as far as my career is concerned. :(

I'm back in the construction field, but this time working in a geotechnical capacity -- for a company providing materials testing for large civil engineering projects. Still get to play in a lab, just not the way I was hoping. :) Yeah, I always use synthetic pee to pass my drug screens.

Hahaha Twin Peaks is awesome. Thanks for reminding me that I can expect season 3 this year.
 
^My favorite show of all time. The second season is iffy in the middle, but you have to take into account that David Lynch was coming and going during filming and had less of a part in directing the season; the finally is perfect and exactly what it should be. He has a knack for leaving more questions than answers.

When you finish, check out Fire Walk with Me. It'll leave you with yet again, more questions and less answers, but anyone who liked Twin Peaks will love it (though it's much more 'R' rated).

Supposedly in May, there's a continuation of the series, under the direction of David Lynch. I'm holding my breathe hoping it'll be amazing. I'll see it either way.

I luuuuurve Twin Peaks. Seriously, no television show has every come close to the quirky, dreamlike weirdness, and none likely ever will.
 
It's starting to look like I can't study engineering drawing because it costs a bit and supposedly has odds of getting a job with that are too much less then assured...

But 'they' are offering me a whole other course (not actual study) in Dot Net that is 3 months followed by actual job placement... I get the feel that I am kind of being tested in my resolve and that if I have enough power of persuasion they might still let me do my first choice... but on the other hand I'd rather not be left standing with my dick in my hand either, fun as that is.
(Web development was initially one of two options for selecting a study, but I kind of realized that I have a bit less passion for ICT stuff since it is more abstract and less tangible to me, I never took all that much pleasure in designing my website features for example, though i think Arduinos are a lot of fun - I quite like designing actual things.... they are hoping to exploit a stereotypical autist apparently, attention to detail but needing a little support here and there.
I'm not really sure what to do though I have a guy to figure job stuff out with me.)

Xorkoth do you know if dot net is cool or if it sucks balls like a lot of people say Java framework does?

Angelo Badalamenti on conversing with David Lynch and showing his musical approach with actual music [Nicolas Jaar Essential Mix version].... hmmm so moody and interesting, though the mix is a diamond in the rough

'keep falling'

Alas I didn't watch more when it got interesting with midgets, one-armed bandits (tee hee) and velvet drapes

edit:

HA nice, I just received my replacement electrical HID ballast by mail....

I bought a HID lamp and ballast a while ago, these are excellent lights to grow with but the ballast is what makes it expensive... even the very cheap one I got was twice the price of the lamp...
But mine made an annoying ultra high pitch noise, so I got a new one that works right... vendor did not respond to questions about what to do with the old one... so I sent that back to the manufacturer and got another replacement >:>
I was honest with those guys though when it got down to it, but they were still willing to make up for my effort to send it back for inspection...

Sweet! nearly free amazing light for my cacti and succulents

Had my interview; I'll most definitely get the job if I passed the saliva test. When the lady walked out of the room, I double checked there were no cameras, and once the dot turned blue, I sucked the shit outa the cotton swab and got it almost completely dry. She was none the wiser. Hopefully I'll pass, should find out by Sunday.

I need this job more than I've ever needed anything. It will be my first full time position if I manage to pass.

I read that as "I'll most definitely get the job if I passed the salvia test".

Now that would be a fucking weird recruitment process.

Hahahahahah :!

I can imagine it now, "Here smoke this... now tell me, what inanimate object are you?" "I'm a playing card." "Great, you're hired!"


Good news, I got the job offer, the pay is wayyyyyy better than anything I've had before; the bad news, in the offer, it said pending the drug test, so I still have to wait two days to see if they revoke it or if I start Monday... the anxiety is killing me and I just ran out of etizolam :(
 
Damn, waiting is the worst. Well, just try to do stuff to get your mind off it, no sense making yourself feel shitty worrying (way easier said than done, I fail at it plenty). Good luck, I bet you get it. :)
 
To get my mind off things, I usually use drugs. Can't decide if I should stay clean in case of a retest or if I should just say fuck it :\

The rational thing to do would be to stay clean, but hell, that ain't no fun! :p

"Welcome to salvia corp, we hope you enjoy greasing the machine cogs with the remnants of your soul". =D

^My god what did I just say.

I don't understand the drug test you performed. It was a saliva test but you sucked it dry?? *Sorry, it actually makes perfect sense, was being a moron.

Yes the little cotton swab is supposed to be stuck in between your cheek and gum line as if you were taking a drug buccal. I tend to salivate a lot and while I didn't keep it in that spot, I kinda held it next to my teeth, as the interviewer was watching me the first minute or two. When she walked away, I looked around to check I was alone, took the swab out, saw that it had already turned blue (indicating it had enough saliva) and then proceeded to suck it dry on my tongue as much as possible, pretending to be just pulling it out as the interviewer returned (heard her shoes). I think I got most of the saliva out, so the hope is that the lack of saliva will give either no results or have a lower concentration of THC than normally would be in a full sample. I'm really anxious 'cause I've been a daily smoker for over 6 years with few breaks between, and I've been using wax only the past months... Now I have a real fast metabolism, couldn't gain weight to save my life, and I used wax about 50 hours prior to the test (didn't know it was coming in time). I've heard it can be in your saliva up to a week if you're a chronic user; however, 24-72 hours is the norm. I only vape the wax. I'm really uncertain of how this will play out. I'm hoping beyond hope that I pass this.

Yes, for some reason I was thinking of it the wrong way round, and imagined it would make things worse.

I've only ever had one drug test, which I'm surprised about considering pretty much the entire factory knew that I went clubbing every weekend and took loads of drugs.

I can just remember on the interview medical insisting that I definitely couldn't piss because I'd just had one and I'd be good for another few hours at the very least. She made me wait about five minutes then told me to just take a little bottle home and piss in that, and bring it in when I was done.

And bring it in I did... about two weeks later. =D
 
You'll be fine CG. I used to take swab tests weekly for probation. They only test for the last day or two of use so if you didn't smoke the couple days before the interview you'll be fine. I've even passed it when smoking the day before.
 
Haha, that's awesome. :)

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate having a vibrant and awesome PD social community. Back when this started, many of us old-timers consider the golden age of PD/PD social, but to me, now is every bit as great, with people every bit as great. :)
 
Yeah, bit of a renaissance. Some great and humorous chats here. You guys are alright <3

We do reflect on good ole days a lot but right now, we are alive and multi-limbed. I can fly.
 
How strange, I just figured out how to fly yesterday! It's synchonicity, mannnnn....

Swilow I shall endeavor to invent teleportation so that I can teleport you to Asheville for a visit. Should probably take 2, maybe 3 days.
