So, last Wed. I took a drug test at LabCorp. I used testclear powdered urine, I am a heavy smoker and there was no way I would have been clean in time. I practiced several times before going. The temp seemed to get too high, so I decided to take the heaters off right before I went in and just crotch it. Two things happened that make me worry....
1) Right before I went in, when I tested the temp in the car, the digital thermometer got a couple of fleck of something (dirt? not sure) in the sample. I quickly dipped the flecks out and it was fine. I don't think they were anything terrible, like weed flecks, but still I worry that I "contaminated" the sample? I didn't leave them in there for the testers to see, but still...
2) Though the temp strip read 96, when I poured the sample in the cup it must've cooled off when it poured,because the cup only read 90. She accepted the sample and marked "yes" in the spot for whether it was in the correct temp range. She said a loud that the temp was 90 and there were two other ladies in the room. No one said anything or acted suspicious though. All she put int he remarks section of the paper was "temp 90". She packaged it into two little cups and I left. I know they took it, but I worry that this will arouse suspicion and that they might test it more thoroughly or something.
I am also worried because the HR person said that she would "hopefully contact me Thurs. morning" and it is now Monday and I haven't heard anything. I am freaking out because I heard it takes longer if it is a bad result (like substituted).!! However, I also did a background check and fingerprints, so I have no way of knowing if she knows yet or not. Sorry for the long post, but I am so terrified! Any thoughts from experienced subbers?
