Someone book me a room (Part 317)...

Chapter 11, Page 12...

Thursday, I got up and to work with little issue.  I had several things that needed to be done, and I got them all completed, even though it was a bit frustrating, in that I had to do two things twice because of someone else's screwup.  But no biggie, it wasn't really an issue.

In the early afternoon, I got a call and was told I was randomly chosen for a urine test.  This is the second time since the policy was put in place like two, maybe three years ago.  I have no problem with doing this because 1) I don't use drugs (other than those prescribed by a doctor to me) and 2) it truly is random and anyone working at my employment could be chosen in any month.

the best part about it now is that the guy that we get to leave early.  The first time I was chosen, the guy who manages the program drove both of us chosen to the place where they do the tests, across town.  We had the tests, and then, since this was like 9AM, he drove us back to work.  No biggie.  But he's since changed it.  Now, he schedules the tests for 3PM.  And he tells us just to drive over and meet him there at 3.  And afterwards, we just get to go home.  I was finished with my test like at 3:20, so off to home I went.  he says he likes it better because it gives those of us chosen a break.  but also, it gives HIM a break.  Cause every month, at least once, he gets to go home early as well.  Good job, eh?

Anyway, after work, I came home and spent the rest of the time doing nothing at home.  I was on the computer.  I read some.  I took a very short nap (like ten minutes or so).  I read some more.  I was on the computer some more.  I watched the Thursday Night pre-game show, and a bit of the game itself.

But about 9:20, I decided to turn out the light and go up to bed.  Once there, I read and putzed around on my phone. It was still roughly 11PM when I actually turned out the light, and went to sleep soon thereafter.
