I've recently accepted a new position, went through the criminal background check and reference checking. Hiring person said I was good to go and I have a start date two weeks from now(to allow for 2 week notice at current job).

There has been no discussion of testing to this point. The handbook that I was given mentions that a medical exam MAY be required and would be paid for by the company. I kind of wish there was one, as I am testing clean now cause I've laid off for 3 weeks, on top of being a very light smoker. Seems to take me about 6-8 days after a 2-4 hits from a hitter.

I am to meet with the new boss 2 weeks from Monday to start. My question is concerned with the chances of a test coming up between now and then, or even shortly after I start. I would assume slim but I've seen some anecdotal evidence of this on other forums.

I'd prefer to end my sabbatical sooner rather than later and I've got a show to go to the weekend after I start that I definitely want to partake for.

Any opinions?

TIA
