B: Yeah.
A: But,
B: I think she has problems with that, too.
A: Uh-huh.
A: Well, when you have kids, will you work?
A: Do you work now?
B: I don't know
B: that's something I've considered. Uh,
A: Uh-huh.
B: I always kind of think it would be neat to be able to watch them and be there for them all the time.
A: Uh-huh.
B: Is that what you do?
A: Uh, yeah.
A: Actually, I teach my kids at home,
A: so I'm here all the time.
B: Oh, so they don't go to school.
B: Is it like, uh,
B: oh, what's that called,
B: it's, uh, correspondence school,
B: they do it at home.
A: Uh-huh.
A: Yeah,
A: yeah.
B: That's interesting.
A: So,
B: Do you have to have any special training?
A: Not,
A: it depends on the state you live actually.
A: Some laws absolutely prohibit it.
A: Some states, uh, say that you have to be a certified teacher in order to do that.
A: Our state doesn't yet, say that
A: and I'm not a certified teacher.
A: I went to college,
A: but I, you know, but my kids are only elementary grades, levels right now
A: and so,
B: So they haven't been to public schools at all.
A: One of them was for a couple of years
A: and so, you know, my oldest, he was,
A: and then my youngest two have never been.
B: Um.
A: So anyway,
A: but we don't,
B: So, you've never had,
A: Well, uh, does the company you work for test for drugs?
B: Actually, uh, they just recently started a policy of testing drugs, which was kind of interesting,
B: because when I went to work for them, uh, they didn't do that,
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.
A: Huh.
B: How about you?
A: Uh, no,
A: we're not being tested for drugs at all, uh,
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,
B: Uh-huh.
A: it says, use of narcotics on company premises.
B: Um.
A: So that's pretty general,
A: but, uh, I work for an environmental management firm
B: Okay.
A: and I'm an engineer there,
A: but I do go on a lot of hazardous waste sites,
A: but I don't operate any machinery.
B: Yeah.
A: Now, people for our company that do operate machinery like drill rigs and things like that are under a, a medical monitoring program,
B: Uh-huh.
A: because they're at a higher risk of exposure
A: and blood screening is part of that
A: and I, I think that drugs,
A: they do test for drugs in that capacity,
A: but it's not their exclusive,
A: it's just part, it's just something that turns up in the other parameters that they test for.
B: Yeah.
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.
A: What is the nature of your company's business?
B: Well, it's actually, uh,
B: we do oil well services.
B: So, a lot of our clients are oil companies, big oil companies,
B: and they go out to,
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,
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,
B: but the thing that's interesting is that I I'm an engineer and, a software engineer
A: Um.
B: and I work in the software, uh, house,
B: and everybody there, you know, are all software engineers.
B: They've never, you know, they never go out to the, the oil rigs or anything,
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,
B: well, a little different, actually,
B: but, uh, you know, we have to go through the same thing,
B: and it's, but it's, uh, it's a little different, I guess than than a lot of drug policies.
B: In our case, it's like, when you hire on, they'll test you,
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.
A: Oh, really?
B: Other than that they don't have random testing or anything like that,
B: but, a lot of people were really upset with the policy at first.
B: Particularly, like uh, we have a lot of parties and stuff where they serve alcohol,
B: and they didn't find any problem with that, you know,
B: but,
A: Right.
B: Uh,
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.
A: they'll have these little parties,
