"pissing the night away...."

This I know is true: I cannot pee on command.



I showed up at the health clinic early this morning for my pre-employment drug screen. Figured I would get it out of the way during their walk-in hours, plus I had just finished my morning cup o' joe, so what better time to provide a urination sample, eh?

I thought wrong. And grossly underestimated the amount of liquid needed to effectively perform this task.

Not once, but TWICE I had to zip up my jeans, ask for more aqua and re-claim my seat in the waiting room, double fisting my large plastic cups... hello, humiliation. I felt like such a failure.

But you know what they say...third time's the charm. And sure enough, an hour and a half after initially entering the office, after consuming well over a gallon of water, exchanging my jacket and purse for that iCup once again under the lab docs' cynical stares and re-entering that all too familiar restroom, the floodgates opened.

Mission accomplished.

I've been peeing intermittently ever since. :)

In other news... I went to check out a vehicle today.

I liked her a lot actually- she drives great- but towards the end of our examination of her, my uncle discovered a chain underneath that was bolting things together. hello red flag!

The search continues...
