Dammit, I had a weak moment tonight and had a smoke
I have to quit because I'll probably have a piss test in early/mid June, and I had a smoke with one of my friends tonight. Just a momentary lapse and now I feel bad for it x(

3. why do they have to make us give it up?
Seriously, have you had to quit temporarily before? I didn't notice not smoking for a week, but I just...forgot to say 'pass' at my friends. :banghead:

14. Yep!
One thing I've noticed about NYC -- you can do anything you want on your own time as long as you take care of shit when you're supposed to.

4. the latter
If they tested me for cigs, I'd just not even apply to the place on principle. My time is MY time, and as long as I don't show up hung-over/high/under the influence of anything, then they have no right to pry into my private life.

Same thing with the fucking credit check they're doing nowadays before they'll hire you. fucking facists.

15. No guilt. Do you understand me? I'm a lot older than you, and I've been through ALL of it,
and I can tell you from experience that the most destructive emotion you can possibly have is guilt.

Don't go there: "I wasn't good enough to have done better" is the first emotion down a slippery slope that you do not want to slide down.

That's a bit of a mangled sentence, but re-read it until you understand it. You'll be glad you did.

16. It only takes a month for THC to clear out of your system normally...

Unless you've been toking sizable amounts for years.

I've never tried it but it's Tommy Chong's company. I think I'm going to try masking shit so I can actually get a real summer job.

Edit: There's nothing they hate more than a well-educated stoner.

18. It's the dope (God's dope), not the cigs.
Although, there are a couple of companies (maybe just one, can't remember the name) that have demanded their employees stop smoking cigs or be fired (and they'll test).

20. what's also disgusting is that a lot of jobs are now checking your credit
WTF is this shit-- facist fucks! I'll do what I want on my free time--when I'm on company time, I'm a good lil' citizen, but when I go home, if I want a glass of wine, fatty food, or a cig or joint, dammit, it's my free time!
