Job~ma, Laga (sorry, I have no answer for your question on smoking)

Actual diagnosis~ma to askye.

How much did you smoke the last time, when was the last time you smoked before that, how often do you smoke and how much -- these are variables that go into that answer.

Don't give you first pee of the day. Drink lots of water with citrus, but don't over water, cause if your pee's too light, you'll have re-drop.

I smoked about once a week since Thanksgiving, 2-3 hits each time, last time was Christmas day. I'm thinking I'm likely to pass but I wonder if I should buy a cleanser to make sure, or if they test for those. I don't even know if I'm getting an interview, let alone a drug test. Perhaps the weed has made me paranoid.

good thoughts for you tomorrow, askye.

I would say just don't smoke and drink water. Those cleansers are hookum. Just get the job, then they'll bring up a test or no.

If you're not a heavy smoker, you should be ok at 4 weeks clean. I smoked a jay with friends about a week before a drug test -- I had no IDEA this job would test -- but I hadn't smoked in months and months, so I was worried, but not too worried. Turned out ok.

cool, thanks Erin.

drug tests are usually done by the co doctor -- so it isn't until they have all but hired you. So worse case a week -- more usual at the current job hire rate, a few weeks.

Askye, I hope things are figured out quickly.

Erin, silk velvet is a lovely fabric, but shows any creases and pulling very easily. Plus it's difficult to work with. So perhaps not the best fabric choice for a corset. As to how long a custom corset would take, that depends on the maker, but I've usually had a 6-8 week wait.

I love my corset(s) from Meschantes. I also love my corset from Dark Garden, but I purchased it from them over 12 years ago, way before their prices went up. I also HIGHLY recommend Marie at the Fitting Room: [link]

Aargh. I bought a transit card and was all proud if myself for doing so before they cost money (had to order it online) and I've promptly lost it before I even had a chance to use it. I hope it's in the house somewhere and I didn't do something stupid like use it as a bookmark in a library book or drop it. I HAD it...somewhere. I swear I thought I put it in my wallet but it's not there! The good thing is I figured out what "clever" hiding place I put my credit card. That was less worrisome though, since I didn't immediately need it, and I knew it was in the house. Hidden. Somewhere. Also, I think I have a stress fracture in my foot. The opposite one from the one that just healed from having a binder dropped on it a month ago. Grump.

t eta: it may be past my bedtime.

bonus to working night shift again: i had a hot fudge sunday shortly after breakfast (because i was out and running errands before work.)
