just took test- subbed, glad thats over. temp question

[ferret]

hey fellas,

I got a conditional offer for a great position (50K+/yr), but considering I don't start for 2 more months I figured I had some time to burn..:jointsmile:

anyway, they hit me with a drug test a lot sooner, so I subbed. I used a hand warmer and a trojan red behind my nuts, and did the thing. I came out and she gave the cup a funky look, and said there was something going on with it, but continued to do the paperwork. she said it was really warm, and she didnt feel comfortable turning it in, but she did mark the "yes" box by the temp reading of 90-100 deg. But under the box she wrote in 100 deg. Is that going to come back to me and be a problem, or should I be in the clear?


lesson learned- dont use hand warmers


and yes this was my first drug test, so while I was trying to figure out the temp strip, she was asking me if i was done. kinda rushed.

If the collector processed the sample at 100F without ordering you to submit a second sample under direct observation (immediately), you have nothing to worry about there. Temp no longer becomes a factor once the urine sample is processed and sent.

Apparently, the collector didnt find the temp to be too big of a problem to merit an immediate re-submit under D/O.

so it basically comes down to wheather or not i rinsed out the condom well enough (non-lubed, just latex powder) and quality donor pee? He's on ritilin, but hasnt taken any since friday, and I believe it's supposed to be out of your system by 24 hours.

It just seems like a low blow for her to write in 100deg in the remarks, I'm just hoping that doesnt raise any flags for the future.
