so, i had to go to some random doctor’s office today to have a drug test for a new job. as many of you may be aware, you can’t eat or drink anything but water for twelve hours prior to the test. (this is a blood test) they are looking for drugs and other medical pieces of information.
i get to the office and finally have a nurse start me through the process.
as i am laying on the medical table today at 9:30 a.m.:
nurse: when was the last time you ate or drank? me: 5 p.m. yesterday. nurse: ok, let’s start the blood drawing. are you going to pass out from the needle? me: i might, but don’t think so. nurse: ok. (starts drawing the blood)
she finishes and looks down at me
nurse: you don’t look so good, you’ve lost a lot of color. me: i feel just fine. nurse: don’t move or get up, just relax. i really wish i could give you some juice to drink, but i can’t do that until after you’ve had your blood drawn. me: isn’t that what you just did? nurse: oh yeah, i’ll go get you some juice, sorry.
Blood drawn for a job? Wow, that’s REALLY toeing the legality line. If I understood the material in my workforce management class correctly they cannot test for “medical stuff.”
not emo, just thought it was good. i didn’t feel that it altered my life, i just enjoyed it. oh, and the tears were from laughter with the combination of this woman’s idiocy and the appropriateness of the picture.
