The gov't doesn't even do that, at least in my experience. The military does Operation Golden Flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is different in some job requirements. Usually it's for more money jobs (or military in general), but I've personally seen some companies from friends who work downtown (or maybe it was in Indiana) who actually required a hair sample (or sometimes tested for both I believe). Now I honestly can't remember their specific pay, but it wasn't THAT good all in all. Edited December 1, 2009 by SoxAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My high school hair tested randomly throughout the year (each student at least once). It is pretty expensive, but it sure as hell kept drugs out of my school which was pretty cool. The first time I saw cocaine was in college. Though, my high school was ranked #1 (not sure how they actually do studies to find this stuff out) in the state of Tennessee in alcohol use, so I guess everyone just substituted alcohol for drugs. Though, if there's a lesser evil of the two, I'd rather high schoolers be drinking than getting into drugs (other than weed at least).

Chisoxfn Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Just have him get an over the counter drug test (you can buy them from stores I believe) and see if you pass. If you do, than you'll be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also folks, keep something in mind - cutting your hair will have zero effect on results of a hair test, unless you shave it all clean off (which might be a tad bit suspicious). And as soon as it grows in a bit, they can test again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had to worry about it since those days were behind me before I got my job, but I have a friend who works for a large city and he just uses some shampoo. I guess you can get it online.

You're right though, it'd be different if you were in a more sensitive type of job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I tend to notice about once a week that a song I used to have in my iTunes library is no longer there. I'm not deleting them, and they don't even seem to be on my computer anymore. Anyone have any clue as to why this might happen? I'm not sure if the songs are deleted at random, or if a bunch are deleted at once and it takes me a while to notice specific ones are missing.

I'm not sure if the songs are deleted at random, or if a bunch are deleted at once and it takes me a while to notice specific ones are missing. I've had this issue, sort of. If I import a song that wasn't from a CD or the iTunes store (which I only do rarely), it will import OK, and play OK, then suddenly one day it will show an exclamation point next to it saying it can't find the source. Is that what is happening for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what is happening for you? No, mine disappears entirely from both the iTunes library and my computer. I believe the situation you have is that the song disappears from your computer, but remains in the iTunes library (which obviously cannot play the song because it's not even on the computer). I have no idea what is happening or why. My best guess is that certain songs get removed whenever I upgrade to a new version of iTunes, but that's a complete shot in the dark. There are two ways I usually notice that I'm missing a song. Something will remind me of a song, and then I'll think that I haven't heard it in a long time. I'll check and find out that it's not there anymore. The other way I find out is if someone else is going through my ipod (I use it a lot with parties and such), and someone will say "you need to get ____," and I'll know that I had it at some point.

FlaSoxxJim Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I finally had a chance today to have lunch at an out of the way Korean restaurant I've had my sights on for months. Hot and cold kimchi and pork with lots of nice sesame veggie sides. Best meal I've had in a long time. And now as a bonus I'm burping all the flavors of the rainbow!
