Last night I noticed that the white/pink spot on Alladin’s nose was especially “bright,” and he was sneezing a bit yesterday. Today, he’s sneezing off and on, and his nose is bright pink– he keeps licking it. And his eye is runny. No fever– the nose is cold and damp and his ears are normal. But I feel so bad for him, cause he’s clearly got a cold, and nothing to do but wait it out and sleep!
I cleared off the second chair and brought it up next to me, so he can lay down right beside me while I’m at the computer today.
So, if your job does not involve machinery, health care, children, law enforcement, or in any way puts you in a position of responsibility over others…. in other words, if you’re a technical or business writer, or a programmer, or help desk technician– someone in a high tech service job, what is your philosophical viewpoint on drug screening for employment purposes?
Comment here with replies, anonymous OK.
Edit to Clarify: I’m primarily talking about pre-employment drug screening, as in they do a drug screen as part of your application process (before you actually have the job), and not actual “I’m working here already and they come by and require a pee test every so often.”
