This is my first full-time job, in which I will be working at corporate headquarters. I just got my first hire kit and one of the forms included is a drug test release form. I have no problem with the purpose of the drug test as I have nothing to hide (I'm completely clean). I'm curious to know what drug test types are more common? Hair samples? Urine sample? Blood sample? I get nervous with people taking blood from me as I'm not very good with needles. I would like to prepare myself for it if a blood sample is commonly used. Thanks!

I created this thing at my last job (took a long time to do) and then modified it at this one.

Co-worker is only nice when she wants something. She's never been nice to me or my husband. She has a bound copy of my work, but wants the original. She rolled my eyes when I told her I didn't have it and was mad. Yesterday I stalled her.

I am an administrative assistant at a synagogue (Jewish temple, in case you don't know). Our office is very slow during the summer, but someone has to be here to answer the phones and help anyone who may stop by. My boss is on vacation and there is very little to do here; she left me a list of projects to complete, and now they're all finished. I am able to finish all of my daily work (returning phone calls, opening mail, etc.) in about two hours with four hours left to spare. I could go home, but someone needs to be here. Besides, if I go home, I don't get paid.
So, my question is, is it wrong of me to be on yahoo! answers while at work? I kinda feel a little guilty about it, but probably won't stop doing it, at least until my boss gets back. If you were in the same situation, would you be on Yahoo! answers too? Thanks for your thoughts!

Ive been told that the majority of posts made publicly available are virtually impossible to get, as even though offered externally, they are almost always offered internally, what is the point of this?

I do consruction work, I'm a framer. I've worked with a company that just recently went out of buisness. There were 2 owners. The one owner is gone, the other owner took his favorites, built one crew and put us on peace rate. I've gone without pay for 4 weeks, been told it's comming and without fail every time, nothing. They owe me for 52 hrs before I went to peace rate. Every time I've got my pay checks there has never been a check stub showing hours worked, taxes, etc. The last two checks bounced and I'm getting letters stating I owe them $. Checks were cashed at check city. Our work van is not registered or licenced, nor do I believe insured now for 4 months.(Yet to have been pulled over and fined) I talked to my dad last night who is finacially well to do and he said, "We're taking this company to court." I just want to know where I stand in this mess.

As long as they were qualified and could do the job, would you hire them, or would you be concerned about liability and workman's comp?

I have an opportunity to work with a director that can lead to more jobs. My current boss understands this, but I think he was counting on me to be here tomorrow, should I tell him and accept his frustrations and possible firings or just call in sick and he'll never know?
