Well That Was Interesting

Today started with me willingly getting up at 4am to go to the gym with my man. Another hour long workout in the bag. If I keep this up I just may be ready for Mardi Gras! After a quick shower, packing lunch, and making a meal shake I headed off to work. I took care of a few things when my Chief happened to walk by. He said he could have our meeting right then so off we went. While he didn't promise anything he seemed to think the seminar was a good idea. He said he didn't know what his budget was, but if I wrote up the formal request he'd look into it! Maybe I really am crazy 'cause I actually like going to seminars. The last one was great and I learned a lot. When I got back to my computer my supervisor messaged me asking where I was. I told him I was about to head out to the site, did he need something before I left? No, but I had been selected for a "random" drug screening. Oh joy! Now I know I don't do any illegal drugs, and Medical knows about my prescription that shows on a basic drug screening so I didn't think anything of it. When I got out to the site my supervisor had to escort me down to Medical, don't ask me why. I got to blow into a breathalyzer for the first time ever (yay?) and then pee in a cup (they didn't even have toilet paper in the bathroom!). Sure enough it came up positive, but they assured me it was expected. What I didn't expect is that the HR lady picked me up and took me to her office and called my supervisor down. I still wasn't really worried, and my HR lady is pretty awesome, so it was all good. The look on my supervisor's face was priceless though 'cause apparently he thought I was in trouble (apparently he thought I was actually capable of doing illegal drugs!). It turns out that the test they can do on site only shows positive or negative, it can't tell WHAT the positive result is from. So when somebody has a prescription that can throw a positive they have to send the sample to a lab to determine the exact drug that is present. Until the lab results come back I'm not allowed to wander around the site or operate machinery (on site). So I can work in town, or in the one office building on site. Yay? Whatever. After having a laugh and a bunch of druggy jokes we settled back down to our normal Thursday routine. Until 12:24 pm. I recieved an e-mail. It said
I got my P.E.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm only a little excited :) I managed not to scream and jump around, barely. I ran and told Peggy, and then my man. Then I called my Mommy. It was funny 'cause when I told her I was getting a stamp she asked if I would stamp something and mail it to her. I was totally planning on doing that since the first time I took the test! She said she would frame it and hang it in her house. I also found out there's no restriction on what color ink I get, so I can totally have a purple Professional Engineer stamp! I'm totally geeked out. I totally didn't get any more work done for the rest of the day :P On my way off the site I got "randomly" selected for my car to be searched. Apparently today is my day for "random." Anywho, this Professional Engineer is tired, so I'm calling it a day.
