A co-worker was saying she might have a line on a new job. Another crappy call center, but perhaps less crappy than the one we're in. There was just one obstacle to snaring this exciting new job: a drug test.
"Did you know that crack won't show up in a urine test, but weed will? I mean think about that: they're essentially saying they'd rather hire somebody that smokes crack than somebody who smokes weed!," she analyzed.
I've gone to a lot of job interviews in my time, and taken a pee test or two. Not once did the merits of crack versus marijuana enter my mind. Whether my sportcoat still fit, or if my tie was too busy, maybe, but not whether I would be better off to have crack or marijuana in my system.
She has two kids by the way. No, I don't think she's married.
