Well I suppose since this blog has my name on it too, I should do some of the writing. So I thought I’d write about my exciting morning. I got a phone call about 9am from the HR department of the Hilton asking if I would have time to come in for a drug test today. Although the drug test did not sound so appealing, I took that as “better make sure she’s clean before we hire her.” So, I went in to the Hilton and filled out some paperwork and they sent me with a map to a little office stuck in the middle of nowhere. I’m sure the people passing me on the road laughed as they saw this girl (with Illinois license plates) trying to read the map, drive, and find her turns all at the same time. Gainesville has this crazy number system for its streets, that I’ve been told makes sense. Well, I haven’t figured it out yet. Anyways, after circling the building a few times I found a parking spot. I went in, signed my name and took a seat next to the copy of “Southern Living” magazine. I picked it up and started reading. The girl next to me decided that I needed to hear her complain that she’d been here for half an hour and didn’t understand why they couldn’t go faster. She was quite impatient. I smiled and said, “well at least there’s a tv to watch or a magazine to read.” My answer satisfied her just as her name was called. When my name was called a woman with an accent that I could barely understand met me at the door. I’m sure I said “pardon” at least 5 times in the 15 minutes I was with her. All I had to do was pee in a cup and go home but all I could think of was “have I eaten any poppy seeds lately?” (for you Seinfeld watchers) When I left the building my next thought was, “How in the heck am I going to find my way home?” I took a few lucky turns and ended up on Route 121 and knew I was on my way. So long story short, I took my first drug test, hopefully I passed and I can start working at the Hilton and be promoted and make lots of money.

Congratulations ... I hope you pass too : ) You know David & I make that joke about poppyseeds everytime he has poppyseed dressing! I told him it was a good thing the church doesn't do random drug testing : ) Hope you hear something soon about the job! Good Luck!
