This is for those of you who sub or are being put in a situation where you are considering it. Just had a drug test yesterday for a new job. I have used quick fix in the past and it has worked for me every time. I still get crazy nervous waiting for the results but I am sure everything will be fine, the batch # ended in 09 and I bought it last March, kept it in the original packaging etc., etc... the facility was LabCorp
The point of this post is that I noticed a lot of women mention not having a place to tuck things away, so I thought I would share...
What I have done the last two tests is take a sanitary napkin and cut a slit in it right about where you sit down, about 1/4 from the back of it. Then use your fingers to open up a space inside to fit your quick fix bottle or whatever you are using to sub. Slide your bottle in with the top facing towards the opening. I usually put this on ahead of time to walk around and get used to it so I don't look weird. Also to check my clothing and make sure they are baggy enough. The right pair of underwear is also key, 2-3oz is heavier than you think. Once you feel comfortable, microwave it attach the hand warmer and put it back, you should be good for a few hours at least.
So, yesterday I microwaved it to between 98-100, attached the hand warmer and headed out to do my paperwork and pick up the drug screen hoping I could go straight from there and test. Filled out the paperwork and went to get the test but they were closed from 12:30-1. Something told me to go to Hardees and check the temp. I went to the bathroom, pulled it out, temp good, left and drove around until 1. It took until 1:45 to get the test. I usually sit with my legs crossed to try to keep things as close to body temp. as possible, this seems to work well. I have noticed that the temp. seems to be right when you don't feel the bottle as being cold or the hand warmer as feeling warm?! I figure at that point it must be close to my body temperature- please do not quote me on that one- i am not a scientist. Just know that temp. is very, very important, so practice.
Also if you set your quick fix up right in the sanitary napkin scheme, you should be all set up to go as soon as you sit down. the pour spout on the bottle should be facing down when you sit down and you should be able to squeeze it right into the cup, which I did. Also, this place used the blue tablet and made sure you did not flush, so I was very happy I had gone to Hardees and peed for real with the 45 min wait that occurred.
So now I am just waiting for my test results, or really no word of my test results. I am scheduled for an orientation 10am Monday and I plan on being there. Will post to let you know I got the job unless something goes horribly wrong.
A few tips, make sure the bottle is in the napkin securely and is not going to fall into the toilet. If you think someone may be nearby, know that the bottle can make a noise when you squeeze out the end. Do what works for you and doesn't arouse suspicion, they don't expect someone who looks fairly together to be subbing on a pre-employment screen. I do notice I am fine before the test but a mess while I am handing over the sample and signing so yesterday I acted uptight about peeing on my hand to distract her from me being nervous, then she just thought I was grossed out by the pee and told me it wasn't a big deal. She checked the temp was good, had me do my signing and initialing and said good luck with the new job!
Anyway, I will stop rambling and will let you know in a few days what I already know will happen. Just like the LabCorp tech said, I will be starting my new job. YAY! :rastasmoke:
