Mood:  don't ask

Last night before I left work my boss stopped me to make sure I was planning to come to work on Friday. I was a little unsure why he would be asking because I rarely ever take time off and if I do I usually let him know way in advance. I told him that yes I would definitely be at work. With the Festival coming on Saturday, there was so much that needed to be done. My boss said, “Good, well I need you to come see me as soon as you get in.”  And with that I got in my car and drove off.

As I was driving home I wondered what it was that Tom wanted to talk to me about. Then it hit me…he is going to offer me the job. I was so excited and wanted to call everyone I know but didn’t want to jinx it. I didn’t sleep last night because the excitement was just too much and I had all these questions running through my mind.

So I got up this morning and drove to the office and headed straight to Tom’s office. I was a little nervous and was running through my acceptance speech in my head. Tom asked me to have a seat. He then pulled out some paper work and the nerves started to get worse…OMG here it comes. “You have been selected….(OMG OMG OMG)….to take a random drug test.” WHAT!?! A drug test? Didn’t I just have one of these a few months ago?  You can’t understand the disappointment I felt when I heard drug test instead of a job offer. I grabbed my paperwork and grabbed Dana (she was randomly selected as well) and we headed over to the clinic.

We entered the clinic and filled out our paperwork and proceeded to sit there for an hour. I drank way too much coffee this morning and had to go soooooo bad. The nurse finally called our names but it wasn’t to take us back for the test it was instead to tell us that they didn’t have our Chain of Consent forms and that we were going to have to come back on Monday. Are you kidding me? So needless to say I have started out my morning in a very pissy mood.
