[speaker001:] uh how do you feel about this topic
[speaker002:] um I think it's just fine but um I just worry about some things that show up as drugs that aren't like I've heard poppy seeds come up to be like opium I think they're in the same family
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] and just little things like that that um you might get in big trouble for and just because you ate a roll with poppy seeds on it you know
[speaker001:] right I understand completely you know I I feel the same way
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] you know I I believe in drug testing
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] you know there's nothing wrong with that because something like that if you work in some some types of some type of situations that makes it um makes you unmanageable or something like that that you could either hurt yourself or somebody else
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] uh I might really agree with it you know if they tell you before you come into employment like when you're going to get hired
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] you know I don't see anything wrong with them telling you that you might have to go through one and and then sometimes I have a hard time understanding the random
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] you know the I'll pick you out and I'll pick you out and I'll pick you out
[speaker002:] well random
[speaker001:] and you go through the drug test
[speaker002:] random I heard was to make it fair so they wouldn't think you're just picking on somebody
[speaker001:] what's that now
[speaker002:] I've just heard that the random testing like drawing a name out of a hat or whatever is just so they can't be accused of you know picking on someone in particular that they're suspicious about you know
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh yeah that's true
[speaker002:] but um because I work at a school and they were thinking about doing that
[speaker001:] that's true were they
[speaker002:] yeah but even though they were I mean who's to say it's random or not you know
[speaker001:] right and who's to say if it's for sure
[speaker002:] they could just uh-huh they could be saying it's random and they could be not random
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so
[speaker001:] yeah where I
[speaker002:] you can't prove prove that
[speaker001:] yeah where I was hired they made us sign something saying that we could be um put through one at any time
[speaker002:] huh
[speaker001:] and we were like okay
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but we did have to sign that
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but um
[speaker002:] well I just worry uh you know I don't care so much about well I mean they can they'll get fired whether they do their job or not you know if the drugs affect their job that much but
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] um I just worry about people that have jobs that could hurt other people like bus drivers and
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] stuff like that
[speaker001:] or air traffic controllers
[speaker002:] yeah exactly or pilots or
[speaker001:] right or even somebody on a line you know that could run machinery or something like that
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] yeah that's how I feel too
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I don't know have you been in Dallas a long time or
[speaker002:] um-hum about twelve years
[speaker001:] about twelve years
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I just moved here and then South Dakota is very seldom
[speaker002:] hum
[speaker001:] that you see a drug test
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but
[speaker002:] I think like if you work in defense like I know people have had to have drug tests for that and
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] but then they have like a secret clearance
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] but um then I know people that work at um you know normal companies and
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] some do and some don't require drug testing you know if it affected the work they might you know wonder but it's not required
[speaker001:] because I was really surprised because I I go into my major is in accounting
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and I've looked at an accounting positions
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and definitely a a position I've applied for has either come up
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] or you know they won't make you go through one
[speaker002:] hum even to change position
[speaker001:] which was a real surprise what's that
[speaker002:] to change positions
[speaker001:] no to get a position I just moved here in June
[speaker002:] oh um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh from South Dakota and I was real you know shocked to here how many that did
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] you know from where I'm from it's not that popular or that much I think
[speaker002:] hum so a lot more here I guess because it's a big big city or
[speaker001:] yes yeah you know like Dallas has got more people than the whole state of South Dakota
[speaker002:] and we're closer to Mexico
[speaker001:] yes that's very true
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and um you know I guess I never was awakened to it you know I knew it was out there but I knew you know I didn't know it was to a an extent
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh I'm glad it's there you know but um
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] it was just something that I come across that I wasn't really you know used to but you know I I feel fine with it you know that's not a problem
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum me neither
[speaker001:] and uh
[speaker002:] but I'm there's some people that I think there's a cheerleader that's suing a school for wanting to drug test her and I haven't heard if she's going to win or not but um like a high school
[speaker001:] uh-huh can high can a high school do that
[speaker002:] but because hum
[speaker001:] can a high school do that
[speaker002:] um I think because it she's in the extracurricular thing cheerleading
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] they they said they could but um I think she's going to try and use like the constitution against them
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] saying it's an invasion of her privacy or something like that and and I don't know she might win I'm not sure I haven't heard
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah I've never heard of a high school asking a student to do that I guess
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] huh that is that in Dallas or
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] that's in Dallas
[speaker002:] oh the high school that she's from
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker002:] um no I think it's out further west maybe California or something um-hum
[speaker001:] oh really huh
[speaker002:] I thought see I teach so I thought you meant where I teach
[speaker001:] oh you do teach
[speaker002:] uh-huh in Richardson in Richardson
[speaker001:] oh really
