drug test, or hair rape.

so, i had to get my drug test this afternoon.
i asked them just to take the split ends.
they were not in a joking mood.
they pinned up my locks in two places,
and SNIP! SNIP! next to my scalp...
snatched away two good CHUNKS of my lovely hair.
i was in such a state of shock, i couldn't even ask
in my trademark irony:

"cosmetically unnoticable?"

hey. i have a question.
when exactly did drugs become a DETERRENT to writing?

Comments:
In any meaningful way, never. A point that is very nicely articulated in Sadie Plant's book: Writing on Drugs. Which I'd reccommend, at the very least for some of the amusing anectdotes.

Though if the new bosses are disrespecting the hair in such a gross fashion, I wouldn't reccommend bringing it for your lunch reading, they might get ornrey.
 
I dunno, the 90's maybe?

That's the first time I've ever heard of them using hair for a drug test...but, I guess, it makes sense...I mean, you can't exactly substitute someone else's hair when they go to cut it off your head, can you?

My condolences on the damage to your coiffure...may you recover in prosperity!
 
that's a very good question, as you may well know i don't do any drugs other than the occassional alcoholic beverage (mmmm alcoholic beverage)... but the most prolific, and thorough writing i do is when i'm delirious with exhaustion, when by all rights i should be falling down asleep. of course my best is typically mediocre so i'm not really one to talk. but it seems like many of the most intense writers (if not the best) were under the influence of something when they were writing. many of the romantic writers took opium, Hemingway was a drunkard, the beats... god the beats, did they ever stop doing drugs? not to mention those that came out of the beat movement like Hunter Thompson, but then again these guys weren't being paid neccessarily to write anything specific... well Thompson was, but he didn't seem to notice all the time, so maybe that's the difference.

in other words....
i don't know.
 
Isn't having your lovely hair marred reason enough to turn to drugs?
 
Writing,my anti-drug.
-after school special people
 
nope, dopey
just good writing

funny, such little faith in the workplace ...
you need a note to prove your not having more fun at home just to be there

i hope they are impressed with their invasion of your privacy
and your sporty new bald patches.
All the sober kids are doing it
this summer cause they're too kool for homeschool.

good job, writer
