so we had a drug test for all our employees at our work place. turns out i FAILED. why? because i was tested positive for opium. not really surprising since poppy seeds contain opium [no matter how small of an amount there is] and i've been eating a hand full of poppy seed muffins recently. so i was suspended from work for that.

then they decided to turn it in for further testing. they called me back, said it was still positive and that i was terminated without a second chance for testing. WHAT.. THE.. F~

is it right to be fired because of a failed drug test that was caused by food? food thats sold in almost any food market? WHAT THE HELL KIND OF BULLSH*T IS THAT?!

so how the hell am i supposed to explain this to them? if it were medication, then i'd be able to prove [with a doctor's note]. but this is food for crying out loud. gawd, what the hell am i supposed to do. -_-
