Got commissioned to write a sitcom pilot, so I've begun smoking weed after three weeks of abstaining.

No way, that's awesome! Tell us more about it!

How'd you get in the position to get commissioned for something like that?

I can't reveal the show's premise or the episode's plot yet, but as far as getting the job to write it, I used to do stand-up a decent amount throughout the city. A regular at the coffee shop I work at heard and recently talked to me about my personal goals in comedy. He gave me the number of a casting agent in Los Angeles, who after a couple pleasant conversations gave the number of a producer that lives in Chicago. We met, I showed him samples of screenplays I wrote before and we discussed our mutual desire to make a sitcom with the same ambition as Community. Right now I'm fleshing out the story and after it's approved, I'm going to work with a team of other writers to punch up the dialogue.

It's been a blast coming up with the script.

So I completely fucked up a piss n swap attempt for a drug test today... when i got there the receptionist had a hard time finding my company in their database, so I had to sit in the lobby for about an hour and a half. My damn handwarmer died, so the clean piss ended up being lukewarm and they declared the sample contaminated.

I have to go back either tomorrow or Friday; does anyone know if testing facilities are allowed to place you under supervision while making the sample?

I doubt that they would supervise you, but you can put the piss in something like an Elmer's glue bottle and make it look like you are pissing from it. If they do supervise you, they will watch you from behind so if you are sly enough you can make this work. There are also fake cocks available but I wouldn't bother.

I just bought a bladder that you strap to your thigh and then run the tube out or your fly, just to be safe. I'd rather have potentially wasted $50 than lose my job, you know?

It's so dumb that basically all they can find with a piss test is marijuana, unless you are very addicted to another drug and can't stop. Every other drug is gone from your system in like a weekend.

So how do you guys handle unreliable dealers? I feel like everyone who serves in my city is a flakey douchebag
