Guess they never drug tested her and it seems she was the one doing the drug tests. Good grief.

Not to mention how much more it will cost when most of these 6k repeat their crimes and get caught.

Happened in SF several years ago. A lot of people got off. It’s only right no matter how guilty the perps are. Government sucks in case u don’t no.

I don't care what floor of the building she worked on, what difference does it make?

Go to Boston. Will change your knowledge of what “is” and “isn’t” anything. Had to leave and go back to TX.

Reminds me of a past event. I went to a drug testing facility as part of a client open house, as they were attempting to get the companies I was working with, to start drug testing.

I ask the question:

"Are those who preform the testing, randomly drug tested?" I got an abrupt "no". And they were clearly put off by that question, implying it was absurd and that they were somehow above being tested and explained it was unnecessary.

I then commented I thought it was odd they were not tested, because putting someone in charged of testing, where the results can ruin or destroy someone's life/career would seem to be a position that would mandate random drug testing.

I was not well liked the rest of the meeting.☺
