Today I did something I have never had to do before in my entire life ... I had to go take a drug test, for the new job, of course, but it is still weird. You would think that as a brand-new mom, which the company knows I am, I wouldn't have to take one, but I guess there are enough women out there that being a new mom won't stop them from taking something, so I have to take one. I do not want to sound judgemental or superior or anything like that, I just have never understood taking drugs or mind-altering chemicals or whatever you want to call them and I never have. In fact, I have never smoked a cigarette or even been drunk for that matter. It's just not my thing. I enjoy a good drink now and then, just not to excess.

It's werid, but having to take a drug test made me feel dirty(???), (I don't know if dirty is the right word or not, but it is the only one I can think of right now). I feel like I am starting off this new job on the wrong footing simply because of this drug test. I know that I am clean and always have been, and that I never would and never will go to work impaired, not when you do want I do. You do not work with chemicals or microbials with anything but a clear and clean mind. I guess I feel like my integrity is in question and that bothers me, does that make any sense to anyone???

You're obsessing when you shouldn't be. You have always made the right choices in life and because of that, you can walk away from a mandatory drug test with your head held high. It's standard procedure, I'm sure...don't sweat it. Go have a beer and relax! :)
