              during the background check process if the interview goes well, weed can stay in your system up to 7 days if you are not an average smoker, and up to 30 days if you smoke on a regular basis.

                  Tons of jobs have mandatory drug tests as part of the hiring process. I'm a software engineer and I've had to piss test for at least half my jobs.

                  If you smoke tonight, go for the interview on monday, and lets say the boss gets a total hardon for you and asks you to come in tueday to fill out the necessary paperwork because he wants to hire you, you will be fucked if you are required to take a drug test. I know this is a long shot, but hell it might happen.

        oh man, i was wondering how your DXM situation went after last night, god damn....did you even get a chance to get into work and try and bluff your way through?

          November 21, 2008 7:08 PM

          no. i called in at 6 AM, then slept about an hour. tripped all fucking day, locked in my house because i couldn't drive anywhere. my jaw is tired as hell from opening and closing it for eighteen fucking hours. i tried to walk to a restaurant nearby for lunch at one point, but i was acting all spastic and weird. i couldn't talk right when i ordered. i got my food, but the waiter kept eyeballing me like i was gonna pull out a gun or something. ate it and came straight back home. i pretty much spent the day on the couch playing halo, with my vision going blurry and then coming back again, and my jaw moving silently at all times.

          now i know why mr sleepy posts all the weird shit he does.

          bah... grading is not lucky. It's so much worse than actually doing the work. Probably because I like to create rather than to assess.
