Furth of Fourth? too effing early out west. Slamming down espresso and out the door I go. First Dialysis run starts with a 0440 pick up
Mornin! 
Everyone at work is slowly losing their minds due to home office. Tons of small mistakes on emails. This makes everyone even more tired.
Also local dj spot was to be open but isnt because of local city restrictions.
Also coffee doesn't work. I'm sleepy and grumpy

Forget the ring, the ring is bupkis!
Hiya, pals! I dragged my lard ass to the rail trail early this morning for 60 minutes of running like an Ewok. Costco delivery arrived at 7:45 this morning. loffers
Is the new jorb official yet?
Really nice morning here, unfortunately also very busy. Woke up sore, coffee is helping with slow brain.
Nope. They said the background check will take a few days and they only started it late Wednesday. I went for the pee test Thursday, and I've got to think that alone will take a few days to get results. I am certainly feeling antsy about the whole thing. There shouldn't be any problems with the background check, but the new job isn't official until it's official. I just want it to be done.
IAB: Pee test results are usually ready by the time you walk out the door unless they send them out and even then they are ready the next day. We get the results back on all our potential hires by the next day. Live scans we usually get back in 48 hours. Employment verifications usually take the longest in my experience
Oh and more importantly on this date in 1970 The National Guard shot dead four Kent State Students exercising their constitutional rights.
This appears to be a whole "climb up my butthole" third party background check. They're checking employment history, credit, criminal, motor vehicle, the references, the pee test, and they wanted my college transcripts, then they put it all together in a nice little report and send it to the hiring company. Also, covid is slowing down pretty much everything on top of that and they told me it'd probably delay things slightly.
Yes and no. When I get my medical certificate renewed each year, they test it on the spot. When I first got hired, I had to do a pee-test where they sealed it up like it was a top secret nuclear codes and put it in a box and sent it across the country to get tested, it was crazy. Same thing they do for ATC controllers.
My pee was separated into two tubes, sealed tight, and placed in a package that went to God-knows-where. I had to initial the tubes and the package to verify it was my info on all three. I am guessing that Quest Diagnostics location just did the collecting, then sent the sample off-site for testing. It was a small office.
Sounds pretty standard for every random I ever get.
Speaking of random, when I got hired for my current job 18 years ago, they selected random testers by making you reach into a bag full of dice and pull one out. Get the red one and you get tested. Mine was white.
Awful.
Why you going all caps on us?
Were those students wearing camo battle gear and carrying military-grade semiautomatic rifles? Asking for a friend.
Sunny mid 60s with a light breeze. Took the kids on an hour long bike ride through the neighborhood. Stopped at the church at the top of the hill to rip laps around their parking lot.
This whole thing is making people nuts. The quiet, mousey girl (half my age) came over to hit on me while I was messily eating lunch in my car. This is so far out of her normal personality I couldn't even register it. Flattering though.
Been donning boots & walking a lot at low tide. It hasn't sucked. I've also discovered which islands I can walk to without sinking out of sight in the mud.
