Soul Songs

When we say “soul songs” we are not talking about the style of music. We are actually talking about the phenomenon when people bring their inner most selves out into the open to air them and reveal their deepest feelings or thoughts. Soul songs occur in moments of deep pain, strength or need for strength, and in moments of deep reflection and joy. Soul songs bring us back to our inner nature and help us to see what it is that we need to understand before we can continue the adventure we call life.

Now that we have all of the philosophical points out of the way, let’s see what we can do with some practical points.

If someone loves their job, they receive great feelings of accomplishment from performing their tasks and creating something or keeping equipment functioning or helping people. Whatever it is that they do, if they love their job, it feeds their spirit and they derive a great amount of satisfaction from it. However, if they are around someone who has a substance abuse problem, the discord emanating from the abuser really affects the peace and job satisfaction of the individual in question here. They may love their job, but they are not able to fully enjoy it if substance abusers are allowed to disturb their peace.

Of course, there are many reasons to identify abusers in the workplace besides addressing job satisfaction for those who are actually doing their job. Employees who are fit for duty make themselves available for this satisfaction. They align themselves with the purpose of the job. They choose, and this is a conscious choice, to enjoy their work.

And, their work flourishes.

Employee drug testing is meant to do one thing and one thing only: to identify problem employees so that you can address their problems. None of this is meant to alienate or attack anyone. Drug test kits help you to see who needs help, not who to dump on. Employees who abuse alcohol or drugs obviously need some of help, even if you can’t be the one to help them. CMM Technology delivers this drug test equipment to your place of business.

Taking In All That Is Good

Workplace Drug Test

We are told from the age of young childhood that we should help other people and be generous and that we should not be selfish or entirely self serving. Of course, that can lead to an extreme mentality where a person doesn’t feel comfortable accepting good things from other people. They may even feel guilty for taking on good things or accepting favors or even acknowledging tokens of good will, since they are terrified of being seen as pompous or lordly.

Of course, everything must be done in season and in measure, but most people are not always aware of what is reasonable and what is extreme behavior or what are extreme thought habits to have. Taking in all that is good is a good thing. It means being willing to use those things and not always giving them away again. It is part of being a good steward, and we all know that good stewards don’t seek to get rid of everything they have all of the time. They seek to find purpose for their resources and productivity for their stores and blessings.

When you order drug test equipment from CMM Technology, we know that you are taking process in one of the oldest and most time honored traditions of employee evaluation in modern times. We set a priority on our drug testing kits and alcohol tests so that we only provide the best equipment for each subcategory of urine drug tests, saliva drug test, or personal breathalyser devices. Of course, we are also NATA accredited for our breathalyser recalibration service.

What could be better? Taking in all that is good is…good! We know that you want to be able to check on your employees without getting into emotionally charged arguments with your managers about whom they prefer and who was on time. No, it is better to use science and get the basic minimal information about their compliance with company policy without all of the office drama. So, when you are looking for a breathalyser, like our Lifeloc FC10, remember that CMM Technology distributes our drug test kits all over Australia and to select countries outside of our great nation.

How to Deal with Tipsy Employees

drug testing experts

You may have just had an office party, celebrated someone’s birthday, or just gone out with your workers and returned to work to finish a project. Whatever the case, there are times when a seemingly legitimate situation turns into a situation where your employees are at work and tipsy.

If at all possible, when you know about a tipsy employee, it may be best to get them off of the jobsite as soon as possible and get them in a taxi going home. That way, there is no liability to your company. In addition to this, tipsy employees must be appropriately reprimanded, but the key word here is “appropriately.” You see, it perhaps should not take more than a short side note, a quick conversational “for your information,” in order to get your point across.

Anything more may be too heavy handed, considering.

Of course, if you find yourself tipsy, as well, then there is a bit more of a problem. You’re going to have let the entire office know that you should not have allowed things to progress to that extent and that you will not be continuing any more jobsite inebriation, and that you expect everyone else to follow suit. This way, you are taking full responsibility for your actions, but you are also making sure that everyone knows that you require them to increase their standards, as well.

If someone comes into work tipsy or becomes tipsy during the course of a regular workday, then you may need to use a breathalyser device and make sure, as well as providing documented evidence of their infraction. For this documentation, you need a qualified drug testing company, preferably an onsite testing company, which provides you with high quality service and mobile drug testing and alcohol testing. Now, Mediscreen is the company you should choose, and here’s why: We are NATA accredited to carry out onsite urine drug testing to AS4308. We provide our services to business Australia wide, and we know that if you have a large company or a business which conducts operations in a remote location, our onsite drug and alcohol testing services can be invaluable. Saving time and money is the name of the game.

The Brilliance of Diamonds

Urine Drug Test

Diamonds bring a strong shine and sparkling effect, a rainbow reflection effect, to any place or anybody’s person. The brilliance of diamonds is unsurpassable. In fact, if you have ever owned a well-cut diamond, then you know the benefit of having one around. Also, they are hard to lose, because their light reflecting qualities are so spectacular.

So, why are some things called hard as diamond? It is because diamonds are so hard and so dense that they can cut through glass like a knife through butter. Well, glass is hard and diamonds are hard. Surely, the cut would not be hardly noticeable, if anything more than a scratch. However, this is not the case. Because diamonds are so much denser and more compactly arranged on the atomic level than glass, it is easy for the cut diamond to separate the loosely bound together atoms of the pane of glass. It is very easy for diamonds, on a chemical or molecular level, to do this.

This is the difference between workers or employees of yours who resist something as simple and basic as drug abuse or alcoholism, and those of your workers who are unable to resist these hard temptations. The people who are stronger, who are the diamonds, are those who have grown a certain amount of emotional strength within themselves. However, if you engage in any kind of substance abuse, your become very dependent upon it, and can be easily sliced through, like glass by diamond, when and if anyone says even the most remotely upsetting thing.

Do you want to be that weak? Do you want your employees to be that weak? A workplace environment should be made up of people who work equally to contribute to the good of the company. It should not be made up of people who are all heavily dependent upon things outside of their jobs, incomes, and working relationships. You see, those are the kinds of people who find it more difficult to stay loyal or to be strong in the face of business adversity.

CMM Technology, a drug test equipment distributor, can fix you up with as many screening tests and recalibration services as you can possible use.

We’re A Thousand Miles from Nowhere

Saliva Drug Test

Often, people who run inside of a crowd feel very lonely. Crowds don’t bring people closer together, but rather distance them from each other by creating an audience for your every waking moment. When people are around crowds a lot, particularly introverted people but this also applies to extroverts, they find themselves needing some down time and needing to regroup before going back out into the crowds of people again. Unfortunately, in big cities and in urban areas, this is not always possible. It is a matter of privacy and closeness, of intimacy and renewal. Crowds can create a spirit of excitement and anticipation, but they cannot create that deep personal involvement which makes human interaction so deep and meaningful.

However, some people have discovered a way around this, through the use of meditation and deep, soul cleansing practices. Through the art of meditation, people can become distanced from their lives and their problems, from their families and their issues. They can get a thousand miles from nowhere, so that they can focus on their deep, inner strength and growth. This is highly effective and should be used often. If only it were used by everyone who needs it.

The alternative, of course, is to abuse illicit substances on the worksite, like drugs and alcohol. It’s too bad that your employees are suffering to this degree. If only they made themselves available for quality self care. It is this separation from the world, this separation the mundane, exciting, and chivalrous, separation from the nerves and the emotions and the practicality, which brings inner peace into our souls. CMM Technology provides drug test equipment if you would like to make quite sure that your workers are not abusing illicit substances on your worksite. We provide high quality NATA accredited breathalyser recalibration services, as well as our drug testing and alcohol test, all of which are quality, affordable, and easy to use. If you are looking for employee drug testing which is easy to use and good to maintain, then go with products from CMM Technology.

The Sneer

Saliva Drug Test

Contempt is the universal sign for strong hatred or disgust. Contempt for anyone is a very strong emotion and it is usually brought upon by a long standing bad relationship between two people or two entities.

Bad feelings or bad vibes between two people do not ever have to rise to the level of contempt, even if the rivalry has been going on for decades. Rather, contempt is usually brought on by something very personal and usually a long term active damage to the relationship between the two people, whatever type of relationship it might be.

Employees must get along well in order to be more productive in your business. You cannot have an appropriately functioning business if your workers cannot stand each other or cannot maintain a civil distance between each other. It is the responsibility of an adult to make sure that their own behavior does not fall to the level of childishness. There must be a certain amount of understanding between coworkers, or your business is being torn apart from within.

Contempt is so strong and so damaging that it usually takes mutually shared trials or something “Hallmark” like that in order to get two people to reunite after mutual contempt. Fortunately, such personal hatred is rarely so strong between workers.

Now, if you have someone who is contemptuous of everyone around them, it may not be because they have Napoleon complex. It may be that they are suffering from psychological reconditioning after having abused substances for some time. You may want to check up on that. While individual drug testing is usually an emergency or really obvious case, it can also be moved up for the whole staff, just in case. You determine what needs to be done and do it.

Now, for your drug test equipment, you may want to try our Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6. We also have a variety of other drug test kits and alcohol breathalyser to choose from. We even provide a recalibration service, and will recalibrate your current equipment, not just ones that we carry.

The Sacrifices We Make

Urine Drug Test

When we make sacrifices, we transfer a part of ourselves to the object or person at hand. Sacrifices are, indeed, a transference of part of a person. Today, we may make sacrifices of our time or money, and tomorrow, we may make sacrifices of our possessions or our energy. Whatever the case may be, you will always find out somewhat after the fact whether or not your sacrifice was, indeed, worth it in the end.

In many way, there is no way of knowing if someone is worth the sacrifice you are putting into them until you see what they do with your contribution or if they even do anything at all. The sacrifices we make are somewhat risky, but they reveal our true character and the character of our benefactors.

A good steward of someone else’s resources always has high quality, strong character. But, if they cannot even put the energy of someone into good use, then they might as well not receive anything at all, for all of the good that it will do. You must be able to discern, over time, what sacrifices are worth it and which are not.

Now, in the field of drug testing, CMM Technology has contributed a great deal of drug test equipment and breathalyser devices to businesses all over Australia, and many businesses find the use of our drug test kits to be well worth the cost. Highly accurate equipment is necessary in order to properly run a business, and many people find that the trade off for our own equipment is well worth the price of it. Companies all over Australia find CMM Technology to be a steady, reliable supplier of drug testing equipment, and that is an excellent reputation to possess.
