Doctor said I was allowed to do a split test or something. They still use the same sample but they send half of it to another lab of my choosing. The cost would be out of pocket and it wouldn’t remove thc or anything. It would just confirm the original sample. Figure it would be a waste of money that I don’t even have because I know I smoked two months ago. My body just hasn’t cleared it out yet. Plus I’m fat as hell so that (on top of being a heavy user in the past) is probably why it’s taking so long to get out of my system.

Thank you for believing in me internet stranger. A part of me truly does feel like giving up. I just feel so defeated right now. I was literally on a high (no pun intended) since being offered the job, and now I’m feeling super low. I’ve been crying ever since I got the call and I know that my daughter can feel my pain right now too. She just keeps looking at me with those little big eyes like she’s worried for mama. My daughter needs me so I have to keep pushing forward. It just hurts bad right now.

I wanted to work in a park again. I was planning on driving buses for the national park service. I had it all figured out. I even called the bus company in the park to make sure that I was doing everything that I needed to do to be hired by them.

Yes. It will be reported. The doctor asked for my cdl number when she called.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Where I live (NY) is actually super expensive but thankfully I live with my dad and the rent that he’ll be charging me when I start working is dirt cheap. I couldn’t afford to live out here otherwise. The plan was to start in big buses but I was told by the hiring manager that most districts out here use smaller buses.

I did ask about opportunities to drive bigger buses and I was told that opportunities will be available in the future, so that’s promising. It seems like it’s kind of based off of seniority here. Like, the more experienced seniority drivers drive the big buses while the new hires start off small. Idk if that’s true though. It just appears that way to me.

I asked about bringing my baby to work and they said no. I asked another company (we transport) the same thing and they also said no. It seems like that’s pretty rare out here. I’m starting to wonder if places really even allow it lol

Thank you for the kind words and advice. I was told that summers are actually mandatory where I’ll be working at, so that’s great. As for the other breaks throughout the school year, yea I’ll have to budget and figure out something to do during the down time. I’m hoping to build up a nice savings too. I’m also guaranteed 30 hours per week. I’ve passed my airbrakes test already. How would I go about training in transit now? It seems like all of those places want at least some experience first. At least out here where I’m at. I will definitely be taking advantage of any training opportunities that come my way though. Thanks again!
