B: Yeah. | 100 | switchboard |
A: But, | 101 | switchboard |
B: I think she has problems with that, too. | 102 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 103 | switchboard |
A: Well, when you have kids, will you work? | 104 | switchboard |
A: Do you work now? | 105 | switchboard |
B: I don't know | 106 | switchboard |
B: that's something I've considered. Uh, | 107 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 108 | switchboard |
B: I always kind of think it would be neat to be able to watch them and be there for them all the time. | 109 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 110 | switchboard |
B: Is that what you do? | 111 | switchboard |
A: Uh, yeah. | 112 | switchboard |
A: Actually, I teach my kids at home, | 113 | switchboard |
A: so I'm here all the time. | 114 | switchboard |
B: Oh, so they don't go to school. | 115 | switchboard |
B: Is it like, uh, | 116 | switchboard |
B: oh, what's that called, | 117 | switchboard |
B: it's, uh, correspondence school, | 118 | switchboard |
B: they do it at home. | 119 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 120 | switchboard |
A: Yeah, | 121 | switchboard |
A: yeah. | 122 | switchboard |
B: That's interesting. | 123 | switchboard |
A: So, | 124 | switchboard |
B: Do you have to have any special training? | 125 | switchboard |
A: Not, | 126 | switchboard |
A: it depends on the state you live actually. | 127 | switchboard |
A: Some laws absolutely prohibit it. | 128 | switchboard |
A: Some states, uh, say that you have to be a certified teacher in order to do that. | 129 | switchboard |
A: Our state doesn't yet, say that | 130 | switchboard |
A: and I'm not a certified teacher. | 131 | switchboard |
A: I went to college, | 132 | switchboard |
A: but I, you know, but my kids are only elementary grades, levels right now | 133 | switchboard |
A: and so, | 134 | switchboard |
B: So they haven't been to public schools at all. | 135 | switchboard |
A: One of them was for a couple of years | 136 | switchboard |
A: and so, you know, my oldest, he was, | 137 | switchboard |
A: and then my youngest two have never been. | 138 | switchboard |
B: Um. | 139 | switchboard |
A: So anyway, | 140 | switchboard |
A: but we don't, | 141 | switchboard |
B: So, you've never had, | 142 | switchboard |
A: Well, uh, does the company you work for test for drugs? | 143 | switchboard |
B: Actually, uh, they just recently started a policy of testing drugs, which was kind of interesting, | 144 | switchboard |
B: because when I went to work for them, uh, they didn't do that, | 145 | switchboard |
B: but, uh, since then they've, they've started a drug testing policy, not because of their own, uh, convictions, but because the clients of our company are requests that we do that. | 146 | switchboard |
A: Huh. | 147 | switchboard |
B: How about you? | 148 | switchboard |
A: Uh, no, | 149 | switchboard |
A: we're not being tested for drugs at all, uh, | 150 | switchboard |
A: our policies and procedures manual, uh, the furthest it goes about drugs is in the, kind of the miscellaneous section, or it's reasons for immediate dismissal, | 151 | switchboard |
B: Uh-huh. | 152 | switchboard |
A: it says, use of narcotics on company premises. | 153 | switchboard |
B: Um. | 154 | switchboard |
A: So that's pretty general, | 155 | switchboard |
A: but, uh, I work for an environmental management firm | 156 | switchboard |
B: Okay. | 157 | switchboard |
A: and I'm an engineer there, | 158 | switchboard |
A: but I do go on a lot of hazardous waste sites, | 159 | switchboard |
A: but I don't operate any machinery. | 160 | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | 161 | switchboard |
A: Now, people for our company that do operate machinery like drill rigs and things like that are under a, a medical monitoring program, | 162 | switchboard |
B: Uh-huh. | 163 | switchboard |
A: because they're at a higher risk of exposure | 164 | switchboard |
A: and blood screening is part of that | 165 | switchboard |
A: and I, I think that drugs, | 166 | switchboard |
A: they do test for drugs in that capacity, | 167 | switchboard |
A: but it's not their exclusive, | 168 | switchboard |
A: it's just part, it's just something that turns up in the other parameters that they test for. | 169 | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | 170 | switchboard |
A: But I think it's got a little more relevance since they are around dangerous equipment and things like that and do have to exercise some quick judgment in the field. | 171 | switchboard |
A: What is the nature of your company's business? | 172 | switchboard |
B: Well, it's actually, uh, | 173 | switchboard |
B: we do oil well services. | 174 | switchboard |
B: So, a lot of our clients are oil companies, big oil companies, | 175 | switchboard |
B: and they go out to, | 176 | switchboard |
B: we have engineers who, uh, go out to the oil well, to the, to the client's oil well, and, and work with a lot of heavy equipment and put tools down the oil well and stuff, | 177 | switchboard |
B: so the clients are very concerned that, you know, the engineers who go out there are adhering to their drug policy, because they're on their, their, you know, territory and everything, | 178 | switchboard |
B: but the thing that's interesting is that I I'm an engineer and, a software engineer | 179 | switchboard |
A: Um. | 180 | switchboard |
B: and I work in the software, uh, house, | 181 | switchboard |
B: and everybody there, you know, are all software engineers. | 182 | switchboard |
B: They've never, you know, they never go out to the, the oil rigs or anything, | 183 | switchboard |
B: and yet, we're getting, we're subjected to this policy, you know, the same one that, uh, all the engineers have to, to, | 184 | switchboard |
B: well, a little different, actually, | 185 | switchboard |
B: but, uh, you know, we have to go through the same thing, | 186 | switchboard |
B: and it's, but it's, uh, it's a little different, I guess than than a lot of drug policies. | 187 | switchboard |
B: In our case, it's like, when you hire on, they'll test you, | 188 | switchboard |
B: and then if you get injured on the job, if you like trip and fall or something, uh, they give you a drug test right away. | 189 | switchboard |
A: Oh, really? | 190 | switchboard |
B: Other than that they don't have random testing or anything like that, | 191 | switchboard |
B: but, a lot of people were really upset with the policy at first. | 192 | switchboard |
B: Particularly, like uh, we have a lot of parties and stuff where they serve alcohol, | 193 | switchboard |
B: and they didn't find any problem with that, you know, | 194 | switchboard |
B: but, | 195 | switchboard |
A: Right. | 196 | switchboard |
B: Uh, | 197 | switchboard |
A: We, that's been an, a, an issue, uh, in our company even though we don't have the random or even regular drug screening. | 198 | switchboard |
A: they'll have these little parties, | 199 | switchboard |
