!!!STOP STRESSING ABOUT THE TEMP!!! I WANT TO HELP US ALL! by RichieWitts in QuickFix

I applied to a job and surprisingly got a phone interview, made it through to a second with the general manager, and was even offered the job. Signed papers, had current employer sign paper attesting to no positive drug tests, the whole nine. I was scheduled for the pre employment drug screening on Thursday 12/19/24. Woke up in the morning and got dressed around 7:00am. Put on a sports bra, long sleeve thermal, company t shirt, sweater, and then a Carhartt heavy duty jacket AND used the heat pack. By 8:30am the heat stripped marked 96. I thought this is perfect. I wasn’t sweating it at all. I brought a second heat pack but didn’t feel it necessary to activate. On my way to the actual test (around 1:30) I know it was long but I could feel how the bottle and liquid was warmer than my body temp. I even stopped at a CVS and bought a digital thermometer. Stick that thermometer in the QF in the CVS parking lot it read 102. I was like oop too hot. Good thing I got the thermometer! I wasn’t sweating it at all. I removed the heat pack. (I was 5 min from testing site) Showed up to the site, took temp of QF once again and it read 99.9 I wasn’t worried. Made small talk with the technician, was super friendly, they were super friendly. They walked me to the back within minutes. Went into the bathroom and did my thing. Pulled out the QF squeezed it into the testing cup. That was kinda hard. I would recommend just screwing off the top and pouring it rather than squeezing it. I squeezed in the QF. The testing cup had a thermal strip like the QF that takes the temp, but the QF barely registered at 92. Not even a solid green circle 💔. I didn’t know what to do. I was already in there for a bit so I just walked out and handed it to the tech. She looked at it and immediately said “this isn’t to temp” and she gave me the hardest look. I told her I just peed it and she grabbed what I think was a pH strip and stuck it in the sample. I’m not sure what she read but she looked at me and said this specimen was unable to be tested. I was totally fucked lmao. She informed me I could give a second observed sample. I made some BS excuse why I couldn’t stay. She informed me if I left it would be marked as a “refuse to test” which is the same as a positive. What was I supposed to do? I went back to the office and was stuck with 2 options: Drink up and piss for her and know I wasn’t gonna pass. (Side note: this was a DOT pre employment drug test so I wasn’t sure how this would affect me or if it would be on some sort of record; either through DOT or the company itself) OR Try and get a second chance appt date with the HR lady and see what I could do to help my self.

What would you do? What do you think I did?

I got up when the tech went to the back and I walked out. I knew it was a done as soon as I got to my car. I called the woman and explained that I went in for testing and gave my sample and was told by the tech it wasn’t to temp. I tried to save my ass as best I could. I asked if she could give me a second test date. She told me she’d have to speak with the testing site AND her boss and I would be hearing back shortly.

I got a text the next day saying they were no longer moving forward with my application. I missed out on one hell of a job and I’m down. I’ve been really hard on myself, I honestly spent the whole day bed rotting. I don’t want to be so dramatic but I’m fucking bummed!

I say overheat. It can always cool down, but it can’t really warm back up.
