That's an illustrative vid. I couldn't go past that one tree without recalling how Pekka had such a hernia about it, or maybe it was one of his mates. :lol:

Haha...this is a great place!

It is a rule in life, what one person has done, there are others that have done it too before, and ones that will also do it after. Almost nothing is unique when it comes to human personality and actions. That applies to the good, the bad, and the ugly. Not talking about the odds here, just...

Actually, B, what prompted my post about changing one's ways and allowing a chance for it, were the people in the house that have mentioned changing theirs. It seemed very good examples to me. The other problems that you include, if it is indeed a whole cornucopia like that with certain...

I think that is a good answer, Willie. I suppose that there is good reason to be skeptical of a person that is a user and abruptly is put into a position that they must quickly stop. Still, it isn't impossible for people to work a revolution on themselves, and it has been done in the past...

I'm wondering about someone that is being considered to work for you, not an already existing employee. It seems like two different eggs in some context. An employee has to have been following the rules, a potential may just want to from here on. i think I would stop drinking beer if it was...

I don't know how long drugs that will show up when testing remain in your system, but so far I don't think that anybody has said that they had a potential employee that asked to be given the time to get clean before taking the test. I guess it could mean one of two things or both, that they...

It was one of my great enjoyments when working in Great Britain, a fish and chjps pub lunch with a pint or two of ale. It was just my mate, Phillip, and myself up in the chair making room using hand tools. I never thought of it as much dangerous. Using machinery would have been different...

I haven't once heard of any drug testing in the country where I live. The per capita use of drugs must be lower by a vast margin, say as compared to the states, but when it comes to drinking, the whole place is practically an open bar. That being said, I haven't much heard of work related...

Willie, assuming that you weren't required to, would you consider not testing someone that told you up front that they weren't a user, or do you think that being suspect of not telling the truth needs to be applied to all people? Has it become that bad?

It's the same old of the people that can't do things intelligently, messing it up for the ones that can, and that applies to intoxicants. If a person can control their use off the job, so that it doesn't negatively impact what happens at work, then enjoy! The quality of restraint is something...

I'm trying to still figure it out myself. I guess what I meant to say is that smart people don't use drugs while working at hazardous tasks, and there are some smart people out there. Others not smart enough to not do that, more likely drive beat up cars.

One thing I noticed many years ago, if you jump on the freeway very early in the morning, the people that are sailing in to work then, seem to drive nicer cars than the ones doing the just like everybody else and stuck in the heavy traffic that happens at a later hour. Some statement about...
