The wait is driving me nuts!!!!!

Granted, with the new dog food plant starting to look at people already ( and it is still under construction) and the temp guys sending in people, the Occumed place is busy. But how long does it really take to get results? I mean really! I am as clean as a whistle so it should not be long at all.

Ah ,man I just want that first day on a full time job so bad!

I think you've proven how strong you are as you've gone through this. I know you can do it. Let's hope the wait is short.

they don't put stat requests on those tests so it can take time for them to work through the pile.

You probably won't even know the results, they'll send them directly back to the hiring manager or HR and they'll put them in your interview folder. That could add some more time onto it.

It could take several days before you hear anything.

I, and everyone else are pulling for you.

The drug tests are notoriously erroneous. It's why I have always been against them. You could have eaten something entirely legal (like a poppy seed bagel) or taken an over-the-counter cold medicine, which can result in a false-positive.

Hope things go well for you, kiddo.

If that happens, it goes strait to them and they WILL NOT call me back. They already told me this. It is a one shot deal.

But I know I have not ate anything or taken anything.
