You're asking for a golden shower???

I got a moral dilemma. There's a chance I could have a...job... close enough to bike to, doing what I did at e-bola for the same money, no phones, no customers, type and listen to the iTunes all day. Good gig, eh

IMO, if things are as you describe them (financially dire), you should swallow your piss and take the pride test.

Swallow

[capsuper]

Ya know, that's the most accurate description I've heard of it.

Um...hmmm...interesting icon. Self portrait?

[maleadanee]

Yep.
When it comes down to a job doing what you did before, for the same pay, IN BICYCLE range I concur with McPino. I mean whats a little urine between friends? I'd say it is pretty good timing as well, what with Kat getting laid off and unemployment set to run out in two months. Maybe this year is looking up for you my friend!!!!!!!!

"I mean whats a little urine between friends?"
I think I accidentally came across that web site when I was looking for information about "Golden Slumbers." Turns out it didn't lead to anything Beatles related.

My advice: protest by giving them a urine sample, but not just any boring urine sample. You can turn your urine different colors through different methods.

I do know that asparagus will turn urine green (I've heard something similar about taking GNC Mega Men's vitamins, but it's just hearsay at this point.)

Beets, blackberries and rhubarbs can turn your urine pink or red (rhubarb/blackberries depend on the acid level of said urine).

Supposedly eating lots of carrots can give you orange urine and fava beans can give you brownish urine (but brown urine sounds kind of gross--then again, they may never ask you for a urine sample again!)

Hey, I like that! Make it as much of a rotten experience for them as it would be for me.
Maybe I could eat a whole Streets of New York fusion garlic pizza. I smell garlic three days after the last peice when I pee.
Or a whole bowl of onion dip in one sitting.
Hee-hee! That's good.

It's a PeeTest Protest! Viva la Revolucion! (if only I knew how to do the i with an accent!)

If my son gets tagged for a pee test for high school extra currics (he's a swimmer, and that's all the sport he can handle!), that's what I plan to tell him.

That's even crazier to me to test minors for drugs without probable cause.
gawwhhhhd...thank you Nancy Reagan for starting all this.

Suck it up! Pee in the cup. Whine about it later. Get on with life. Tah-Dah!

After 16 years you STILL don't realize I'm Independent. I piss off both sides of the aisle. I like my co-worker best who said, "Let's throw them all out and put in Libertarians. 'We want to make this law.' 'No' 'How about...' 'No'" On other issues I have realized he is a sociopath, but I liked that one.

Give up your right to privacy and 4th amendment rights. How Libertarian?
Lie back and let authority do it's will to you. How Republican.

[hungariangypsy]

Here is the reality of it. You're applying to a private company. The private company has nothing to do with your constitutional rights. If you came over my house and I wanted to do a drug test on you before I allowed you to visit that would be my right. If you don't want to, then you just wouldn't be allowed to come in. Which is what's happening with this job. Same thing. You don't like it, then just forget the job.

[capsuper]

Here's the reality of it, it is tooooo intrusive for anybody offering a job where nobody else's life is in my hands to ask for my body fluids.
I thought the Constitution was the law of the land. Not just polite suggestions for conduct.

So then, if someplace asked to know who you've had sex with, if you ever had a social disease, what kind of naughty things you wear, what porn you have, what your fetishes are you'd say, "Okey-doke, sir. Sit down, this could take a while." You'll gleefully give up your privacy and body stuff to them for a gig? Without any issues whatsoever?
How intrusive into your privacy and away-from-work life is a-ok with you?

[shegeek1000101]

Yet again there's always no money for raises, benefits, and raising the minimum wage would cause nothing but harm for small companies but there's always money for this. Hmm, I think that that sounded a bit libertarian.

[capsuper]

It's radicals like you who will lead this country to prosperity and a bonged out work place!
