DrugBuyers.Com: Pre-Employment Drug Screen

Well, in case anyone is curious or dying to know, I'm posting my experience for the benefit of others. I took a pre-employment drug test for Marriot last monday. This is significant because I have been taking Hydro for 3 years, and decided to chance it by not skipping a dose or stopping my dose two days before the test. I took my normal dose the day before, the night before, the morning of the test, and the night after the test. It was only a part-time job anyway, so I figured no big loss if I didn't pass the test. I was sure that I would fail the test because I bought a $30 drug store home test, and for sure, it showed a positive result for Opiates or Opoids, whichever it is. So I thought the best route would be to simply show them my prescription bottle, and the other label and papers that I have as proof of the prescription - which I get from a ROP. Today they called, and offered me the job. They didn't say a word about the test, just said that they're extremely interested in offering me the job. I was like, "do you want to give me the job then? Or are you just interested in giving me the job?" Its only semantics. Anyway, so I guess I'm in the clear with this. Believe me, I do understand that this does not necessarily mean that I passed the test, or failed it for that matter. Actually, I most likely failed the test, but maybe workplaces make exceptions for certain drugs that are found. Hydro for instance, is widely used for legitimate reasons, and maybe they jsut thought it was acceptable that I'm taking it. I really don't know, and I don't think I'm going to make a fuss about it. I'll take whatever I can get.

I just wanted to add this to the experiences that have been posted about drug testing for employment, so that people can have info when they need it. I asked for anyone's experiences with an actual drug test, and no one responded, which is fine, if no one has ever had to take one while on Hydro. I just thought that with all of the commentary and advice being given about the tests, that someone would have actually had to take one at some point. Anyway, here's one experience, and a good one!
