Social Science Things that please me - Part 3

Nah. Modern retail cycle has evolved a little.

Christmas -> a bit of NYE crap -> Australia Day crap -> Easter -> bit of Halloween crap -> Christmas.

They really need something to fill in April to October.

I pushed the Aus Day and Halloween to the fore at a previous employer

Dolphins choking on discarded plastic Australian flags are particularly grateful.

After Halloween. Not really a thing on this side of the rock anyway, at least from a retail perspective. Good for sports betting, Ascot races and a few bars.

Passed a drug test today,this pleased me as I hadn't been abstaining for as long as I should have.

We are 16.67% of the way through the year.

10 months and 3 weeks (or so) till Xmas.

Is anyone not questioning this claim?
35 days into a 366 day year, haven't quite reached 10% of the way through the year.
Or am I missing something?

What was the drug and the abstaining time?

Last time I'd have faced a piss test with any confidence Bob Hawke was PM.

I worked on Eastlink over here where they told me they did piss tests at the induction, i'd gotten ripped the night before (as every night back then) and shit my pants. Luckily it was only for the labourers/tradesmen, project managers weren't required to do it for some reason. Even rang my non smoking mate at morning tea to see if he could bring me some clean piss ha ha

So you're an idiot then?

I didn't know they did piss tests clearly, I'd never heard of having to do one for work, was my first construction gig.

Smoking weed is fun and cool anyway mate, don't be such a stick in the mud!

 

[Gough]

Weed might not make you the smartest bloke in room but for most of us that's not a problem anyway.

Or get your cousin to do it for you

Every day smoking makes you a bit "dopey" for sure, but it makes music so much more fun to play and listen to, so it's a hard one. I'm very occasional now anyway, means you get way more affected when you smoke that's for sure.

Piss test for everthing,THC was the worry.
Twenty days abstinence.
My excellent metabolism also pleases me.

Yeah that's not bad, if you're a regular smoker (more than once a week) you might be in trouble there.

I was regular but not heavy.
I like to keep my tolerance level low and go for effect.

Thinking that today's going to be a little light - work hour wise - and that I should probably do some early starts later in the week to even things out.


Then I remembered that I worked 11 hours yesterday

I hear blue powerade works a treat too. No drugs in that.

I did all the research, green tea, niacin, even a shitload of water and you have a Berocca so your piss is still a bit yellow. Also make sure it's not your first piss for the day and don't use the start or end of a piss.

The best way is clean piss or fake piss so they tell me. Or not smoking in the first place!

I never actually did a piss test, now I'm not on the tools it's not an issue (I might have a joint twice a year now). A mate of mine at my old job got done on a defence site apparently, work kept giving him a chance to pass a test but he couldn't stop smoking so kept failing so he "resigned".
