So this lab was very similar in may respects. Being a non-DOT test I wasn't asked to empty my pockets, just "don't flush" is all they said. Note, the toliet water was blue in case I was going to try and contaminate the test with the water in the toliet. My cousin is a truck driver in the area for nearly 20 years and related to me his DOT test experiences. Similar tests from what I understand, only the non-DOT test is more expensive and they watch you pee.

I'm not a subber, I know that surveillence is far to sophisticated not to expect something, so dilution was my choice. The guy giving the test seemed sympathetic and had, as I noticed on the forms, already checked the boxes regarding the sample's integrity. Whether this was a lesser test performed w/o integrity check or he was just getting ahead of himself I don't know. Either way I was glad to see that information on the test sheet. I asked him what the turn around would be, hoping to glean some small amount of info from him. He told me he would know in 20 minutes; saying that they tested it right there. I asked if they mailed, called, or faxed results to my employer and I could also be made aware. He said they faxed them typically but it was based on the employers account preferences.

I waited a few hours and called the prospective employer telling them I had the process completed and all the paperwork (NDA, offer letter, tax forms) was done and I would see them monday morning. They said great, see ya Monday. Although I'm just infering, I know that they recieved the results and believe they would have informed me that I needn't bother coming in if it was positive.

I'll really only know monday morning as I go in to work, but I have a good feeling about it and owe alot of it to this forum and that god among men "N2". I felt well prepared to face the test on my own terms and hope to be able to offer as much information as I can to other seeking to beat these ridiculous standards. What I do on my own time is certainly my business, and clearly I'm not a total idiot, being hired as a sys admin and completely self taught.

My honest opinion is it's the sheepish people too scared to think for themselves that often shy away from self exploration and trying to think outside the box. I almost think that we ought to question those people more than the multitude of people that pursue their curiosities in a constructive manner. /rantoff :rasta:
