Well, there was a problem with my drug test yesterday.
For perspective, let me summarize what I've been through the past 2 months.
Two months ago, a good opportunity for a more stable job came my way. It's a dream job in a lot of ways. And since my current company was in a bit of a downturn, I pursued the new job opportunity. It was slow in developing, which was good because I was a daily MJ smoker and needed time to detox for the required drug test. I didn't want to try synthetic urine, or take someone else's urine. I wanted to pee clean and take no chances.
So I quit MJ, and finally had my drug test yesterday (60 days quit). I had been testing clean with over-the-counter drug tests I bought on Amazon, so I wasn't worried.
But the Human Resources person at my prospective new employer made it CLEAR that the lab would test for synthetic urine. And that the test wasn't just a formality - they were paying for a GOOD test to be done. So I decided to be on the "safe" side and drink lots of water and gatorade before the test, which I had read about online.
Big mistake.
Today, I got a call from the Human Resources person saying that my sample was rejected for being "too diluted" from "over hydration". And that I had to take the test again within 24 hours. And that if my sample was "too diluted" again, the job offer would be withdrawn. She also told me not to drink ANYTHING for 4-6 hours before the test. Bummer.
So, I gotta take the test again tomorrow. Looks like their lab is for real.
