I was until 2 months ago when I retired.

I never made myself do randoms, although I would have passed except for maybe alcohol on Monday mornings occassionally.

I was subject to them, but the only times I was tested in several jobs is when they initiated the program. Maybe it was because I was such a straight arrow.

Only ever tested once when I was teaching a course on Motrola equipment. I asked the next day if they were able to identify the brand of gin I drank.

Too bad they couldn't!

Happy belated Bob.

Import is spottable a mile awy, now that they compress it into bricks. A quarter looks like an eight-th (how the &%#&$ do you spell 1/8th??).

The good stuff all comes from medical states. I saw an interview with a DEA guy, he said they figure most stuff grown in CA is for export.

Yes, but I was and never tested. Had a goatee and long hair the whole time and never had my number came up or had an accident that would of kicked in a mandatory test. Would of shown nothing anyway so I didn't care one way or the other. Would of been nice to get out of work for a few hours paid though!

The only random tests seemed to be targeted but never could be proven. Accident testing was understandable and did turn up some drug use.

Tank-array,Rob! What else, working for Motorola?

Thanks! Pete- went out for a brunch of cheese enchiladas, tamales and champagne at The Hacienda with the missus and my 85 year old Mom. Moms just breezed into town after kickin' up her heels at hootenanny (Songmakers) in Van Nuys the night before. Last summer she went to see the Wailers in Fresno and snuck backstage and hung out with the band. Can't keep that old gal down on the farm, no sir.
