Hey thanks Sallylou, it is nice to go back to work but kinda hard to get excited about being up in the Arctic again. It does have beauty of itis own that I love but it is also like being beaten up awhile. Lots and lots of energy output just to accomplish the normal routines let alone work. I would rather be in Colorado at Red Feather Lakes anyday. Yah the hair test they took little swatches of hair about 2 1/2" long from around the back of my head. They said it goes back at least 3 months. Which seems actually criminal to me that something I might have done 3 months ago and would have zero effect on my present mind could get me fired before I even do any work. In fact I am thinking of consulting an attorney about it because it seems so wrong. Where do the rights of a company stop at invading my personal space and history?
On every level of my being I believe that they have gone too far.

That hair test was in addition to the regular zero tolerance DOT urinalysis drug screen.
I also was given a questionnaire to fill out asking among the many questions whether I had ever joined a group or recieved treatment related to alchohol or drug use. Ever is a very long time.
At the same time I spent 3 1/2" hours in a class reviewing the all the ins and outs of an Open Work Environment where if somehow someone "feels" that I have said something discriminatory or vice versa how that can be a firing offense.
I "feel" that they have impacted my personal space in a discriminatory manner and "threatened" my job by asking certain "unwelcome" questions and tests that go beyond "reasonable" bearing on my employment.
Sorry for going on here it is fresh in my mind tonight and I do not know how to start a separate thread.

It is 8:00 am and dark with a skiff of snow here. Getting ready to start my new job getting drug tested and filling out paperwork. This company does hair drug testing now. Something different I guess those urinalysis tricks were actually working. Now we have more testing. I lost both of my good hearing aids somehow while I was off o the pain over 6,000 dollars gone and now I wil be starting new job with an old one that doesn't work so good so I can buy new ones... smiles... it is always something. I was really liking those digitals.

For the third time, the old laptop has caught a bad trojan and is killing my hard drive slowly - I was too late that the hard drive requires reformatting...:Aw:

Oh yeah, iPod Touch is three kinds of awesome! One of the apps I have tells me the weather forecast for any location I'm at. All i had to do was put in my zip code and voila! weather forcasted. So long, Weather Channel. :bye:

Wow, I gotta catch up with you! :giggle: I wanna add more games so I'll have something to do on the train ride home following work. I'm pretty frugal so I'm just looking for the freebies.:D
 
I have the first generation iphone, and it's on it's last legs- the battery won't last a whole day, and I have 3 or so applications on it at the moment. Any more makes it painfully slow. When I have the money I'd like the iphone 3GS.
 
I am going to do some model shots on Saturday :) My first modeling job ;)

Yeah...you can even put movies on it....I have Death Race and The Italian Job on it as well as short video clips, too. :) Death Race isn't captioned but Italian Job is. You can use it to watch movies on the trip or whatever. ;)

Sweet...i love this thing! :)
 
Yes, it's 2 years old next month!

Good luck with your modelling oceanblue7!

Lack of captions are my pet hate with iTunes film downloads- I don't know about the US but there's no option to select captions in the UK, when you download a film. Though I would have to squint to read them, it's still helpful.
