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.

If there is ever anything CMM Technology can do to make your business experience more enjoyable, we invite you to check out our products on our website and then give us a call and ask us questions specific to your situation. We have distributed alcohol test and drug tests to many different kinds of businesses, and so we will most likely be able to help you with any of your own needs.

The Boundaries are Already in Place

Urine Drug Test

Okay, so you have your workers gathered together and you have told them that you will be using drug test equipment from CMM Technology in the future. If you haven’t been using employee drug testing in the past, then you have probably just broken that news to them, as well. They will be getting regularly scheduled screenings.

At this point, you may be concerned about what will happen if you get undesired results from any of their drug testing. Well, we are here to assure you that, if that does happen, boundaries are already in place, in the form of your company’s policies.

Your business will have policies which delineate all of the appropriate behavior for employees and what the options are if these policies are disregarded or broken. In addition to your company’s basic structure, you also may have other programs in which your workers can enroll and get help so that they can continue working for you. Be sure and have a full awareness and maybe even some volunteer experience with these programs so that you know what to recommend to your employee if something unwanted shows up on their drug testing results.

The boundaries are already in place. All you have to do is follow the wall, stay your course, and follow company procedure all of the way to its end. In this manner, you can be assured of a happy, healthy workplace environment for both you and your employees.

You know, not everyone realizes how important it is to have an atmosphere of health, tolerance, and safety. But, with that atmosphere comes a great desire to do more and be more as people. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you invest in some high quality drug test equipment from CMM Technology, regularly implement employee drug testing, and bring your workplace safety up into the stratosphere.

To place an order with us, first look at the equipment you have used in the past or that you plan on using in the future. Then, browse our website and pick out the best alcohol test and drug test kits for the job.

The Assumption of Evil

Alcohol Test

There is an assumption of there being great evil in this world. Evil people, evil circumstances, evil deities…a lot of it flies over the heads of those who use that terminology when asked to define evil. When asked to define what or who is evil, they cannot answer. The assumption remains, but the truth is that many people bring death and destruction into their own lives, and very little of it is “inflicted” upon them by an outside perpetrator. We are all flawed humans doing the best with what we have available to us.

Now, when people bring death and destruction into their own lives, there can be a great desire to put the guilt onto someone else, but when you engage in drug or alcohol abuse, you are putting your fate into things which do not have your best interests at heart. If you do this, then the trouble you attract to yourself is practically to be expected.

When you are looking to bring your workers through the employment and career process safely and effectively, you must make note of any substance abuse which they may acquire on their record while being at your business. This can only be done by employee drug testing, and that requires urine drug test or oral fluid drug tests, as well as alcohol tests, all of which are available through CMM Technology. We bring high quality drug test equipment to your business, anytime, anywhere in Australia. There is so much “evil” in this world, each individual bringing in their own share of troubles, and then perhaps putting the responsibility on someone else’s shoulders, but they bring it, nonetheless.

When you wish to secure your business assets, you cannot do so through control, but you can find out if your employees are obeying company policy, and the scientific data acquired through drug testing is unmatched. CMM Technology provides you with all of the tools which you will need to have at your disposal in order to understand who may need to be watched, disciplined, or let go based upon their substance abuse record in the workplace.

Wildness and Its Emotionless Spirit

Alcohol Test

Wildness is one of the best things a company can have. Another name for it is the entrepreneurial spirit. Some call it motivation, and some call it ambition. Whatever the case, wildness is part of what brings a company to life, makes it exciting to work in, and gives it that extra spark that clients and customers find so beguiling. Wildness is also part of the emotionless spirit of the office and worksite. When stress and worry and doubt and fear are gone, then everything works out better or even for the best, and it is all good.

Breathalyser devices test for alcohol consumption while on or near the worksite, while drug test kits check for employee substance abuse under the same circumstances. Onsite drug testing uses drug test equipment on a regular basis, since regular lab testing is not available. Therefore, you may have to order your urine drug tests and saliva drug tests separately from your testing procedures. The important thing when using onsite drug testing is to have appropriate equipment, though. I will keep all good that I have. You must implement employee drug testing using proper drug test kits and other screening tests.

Without reliable equipment, you’ll be looking at unsuccessful screening, and this is just a waste of money.

Spend some resources on the effective drug test equipment distributed by CMM Technology. We have a reputation to uphold and we are proud to honor it.

Take a look around your business. Look at all of your resources, from your workers to your products and services. Help your clients to see how confident you are in your company’s fine quality standard. Help everyone to see how much you value high quality workers over slovenly, lazy people with bad attitudes. Show what you can do with a good team behind you.

Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6 urine drug test, Alere DDS2, OralCube and OratectXP saliva drug test are just a few of the products we offer in our product line. Help your employees understand what it’s like to work without the stress and emotional draining which comes from workers who abuse substances. Look us up and check us out today.

Trustworthy Workers

Urine Drug Test

What defines a trustworthy worker? For some, it may be involved being a worker themselves before they can truly answer this. What happens when you are not in your position of leadership but working down among the employees yourself? What happens when you gain their perspective and understand what is hard for them and what is easy for them? Can you rely upon them as you would your right arm? Do you require far less commitment than that, but you desire to have someone who is always and steadily at work, without exception?

There are many ways of defining trustworthiness. One may even say that always passing your drug testing would mean trustworthiness, but this is an evaluative tool only, and it only ever measures the ability of an employee to come to work without abusing substances either before or during their arrival on the jobsite. That is it. It measures nothing else.

Workers are not just defined by their technical skill, but also their ability to work well with people. They are calm and disassociated from upset clients. They are able to manage the situation calmly, with full attention and a clear head.

These employees are invaluable, and their trustworthiness is not questioned.

If they abuse substances, however, it will not remain a hidden secret. Their behavior will change, sometimes without their knowledge, but everyone else will see it. Everyone else will know about the person and their starvation habits and meagerness of spirit. There will be an affectation to the way they work with clients. There will be a quality in the gaze of their eyes which will seem less direct, less clear, and less trustworthy.

The sake of your business, if not for the sake of your clients, use employee drug testing, and use drug test equipment from CMM Technology. We are even accredited by NATA for our breathalyser recalibration service. There is so much to gain by ordering our products over those of our competitors. We treat our business clients with courteous decorum and only deliver the finest of equipment, including our Lifeloc FC10 Plus, a popular breathalyser device of ours.

Circles of Blame

Saliva Drug Test

During the course of your career, you will find many people who blame you for things and who you blame, as well. Now, blame is in itself not a bad thing. Sometimes, you need to hold people responsible for their actions and to make sure that they do their work and do not leave you in the lurch. Also, you may need to understand how your actions have affected others, so blame may be applicable to you.

However, many people, especially in leadership roles, view teams as teams, and they do not wish to hear how someone did their job while other people did not. Often, it is clear if there is an obvious winner or someone who has done a particularly creative thing, and this will come out over the long haul. The little things, however, need to be tamed into submission. There must not be pettiness and silly rivalries within a team. Each member must contribute what they do best.

In the case of our drug test equipment, CMM Technology feels like a member of a global team. We provide high quality drug test kits, like our Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6, and alcohol breathalyser devices, such as our Lifeloc FC10 breathalyser, to businesses all over Australia. With our drug test equipment, these companies perform great transactions with other companies all over the world. There is a great spirit of trust and teamwork and leadership and self accountability which takes place. There is a lot of work that gets done. Time and labor and products are traded back and forth. The global community as a whole is well taken care of. Isn’t that what open trade agreements and cultural fellowship are about? Isn’t that what makes living in this unique world so wonderful? There are so many things to explore and do.

Let us make your business a safer place to work and to interact with other cultures from. Allow us the honor and privilege of helping you hold on to your way to further growth and more revenues. We are one of the leading companies in Australia dealing in drug test equipment.

Thriving Under Pressure and Creating Your Own Stress

Workplace Drug Testing

If you are one of those people who thrive under pressure, then chances are you have procrastinated a few times in your life, not because you wanted to put it off, but because you wanted the added pressure that it created.

The author used to be so good at memorizing piano pieces for piano recitals, that they finally got to where they would wait until the night before the recital before memorizing, and in some cases even practicing, the piece. While this fulfilled their need for added stress and pressure, it was not a very efficient or sound way of going about things.

If you, too, have this issue, then you can create your own stress by simply piling up the amount or quality of work that you must do. In the beginning, I recommend only piling up the amount of work, because this will still involve your current skill level, but make things comfortably more pressurized for you. Once you get comfortable with that, then it is recommended that you begin raising your quality of work, first for only a few pieces, and then to increasing amounts until you are delivering a higher level of quality in all of your work. Then, start the whole process over again, from beginning to end.

However, for most people, this phenomenon is simply a recipe for disaster. They may even resort to alcoholism or drug abuse to deal with the added pressure and stress in their lives. For this reason, and having nothing at all to do with the fact that we sell these products, CMM Technology strong recommends that you invest in the purchase of some drug test equipment, choosing from an array of breathalyser devices and saliva and urine drug test. After all, you have to make sure that your workers are fit for duty and are not being completely swallowed by all of the stress in their lives.

It’s the responsible thing to do.

Really, it has nothing to do with the fact that CMM Technology specializes in and only sells alcohol test and drug test kits. It has nothing to do with that, we promise.

This Love, This Gain

Alcohol Test

What happens when our companies gain? Do we not feel as if we pulled the whole thing off ourselves, even if thousands of people were involved? To gain, to acquire, to rival is beyond description. It is huge, and it fills the heart with appreciation for a job well done.

In truth, that is how all work should be done.

The appreciation that comes from a true gain, from truly earning the abundance that you didn’t have before, is one of the most satisfying parts of doing a job well. So why is it that everyone finds their job boring and unsatisfactory? The problem lies in how we perceive our problems. Today, we perceive problems as things which may or may not be able to be solved. In the past, especially during renaissance periods of growth and development, problems were seen as having multiple solutions, all of which complemented the original issue. There was no picking between which were our greatest problems and which were lesser. There was no misunderstanding about how much hope we have for the future. We saw things as being possible to do and reasonable to accomplish.

We all build our own walls, but addicts to this to a much greater extent than the rest of us. To addicts, the world is hopeless, and this is due to their psychological reprogramming, which is due to their substance abuse. They see things as being hopeless and not easily accomplished. Work is a chore, rather than an accomplishment. Jobs are task houses where they are driven as slaves.

Prevent this mentality from entering into your workplace. Help your employees to see how much they are needed by showing them how much you are willing to protect them. Employee drug testing is necessary, but for this you need to have the right tools. To see who is fit for duty, use drug testing kits and breathalyser devices from CMM Technology. Our products are high quality and helpful for the workplace. Please understand that alcohol tests and other screening tests will not solve your problem, but will give you greater information so that you can solve it yourself.

This is Today, This is Now

Alcohol Test

Sometimes, we get in a rut because we are of the opinion that the truth cannot change, today will be the same as yesterday, and that nothing will come and rescue us from the non-fairy tale that we live in. We sometimes like to say, “That’s all very well and good, but let’s be realistic…” We like to place limits on ourselves because it is the social norm, not because we actually feel in any way limited. This is ridiculous, of course. We should all be living the lives that we thought we would as children. But, when it comes to “reality,” we often think that such a reality is not possible. Welcome to the “real” world. Dreams do come true. Your future is in your own hands. And today, well today is the best thing because with it comes the possibility of rising above yesterday. What could bring us greater joy?

Now, walk into the home of a drug addict and ask them about life. Chances are, they will tell you what they think you want to hear: that life is shitty but you got to not let it get to you. They assume that you want them to commiserate with you. The truth is, they are not sure if life is really good or really bad. Their ability to have perspective is completely shot. That is why employee drug testing is so popular. If your workers cannot tell the difference between a good thing and a bad thing, then they are not competent enough to be employed by you. You may want to be informed of this fact. Screening tests, like our Alere DDS2 saliva drug test, give you access to this type of information. You can know for certain that today is bringing you good data. Today is giving you the control over your business that you need. With knowledge comes power, and you are now able to wield it for the good of your employees. You can implement company policies so that your workers are protected and your business assets stay intact.

This Day and Time

Urine Drug Test

Look out your office window, or out the window nearest to you. Just stop for a minute, and take a look outside. What time of day is it? The cool still notes of morning as the light is newly fresh, the warm haze of afternoon as you spend it lazily looking out, or perhaps it is evening or even dusk, and you see the crisp blackness touching golden streetlights outside.

This day and time are so beautiful. If you wanted to, you could probably stand at your window at the same time every day and get a similar experience, day after day.

In fact, that is what many poor dear people are doing, when they begin to abuse drugs or alcohol more and more. They are thinking toward a certain time of day, a certain feeling that they once had, a long time ago, and they are remembering it well.

They remember the feeling, and so they go to the right place, and wait for the right time. But, it may not feel like it did before. So, they take a little alcohol or drug to make them more sentimental, more open. The stillness deepens, but their awareness of it does not.

CMM Technology brings drug test equipment to Australia. We provide drug test kits, saliva drug test, and urine drug tests to businesses all over Australia. We love doing business in this great country of ours. We love providing local companies with the resources they need to implement employee drug testing. Our NATA accredited breathalyser recalibration services can service even alcohol tests which you already have, not just our own. We also provide saliva and urine drug tests.

This day and time, stand at the window at your work. Remember that so many people want to make it big in business, but few of them make it because they are not ready to commit everything they have to one idea, one single idea, within a single time period. It is this which makes people unable to function correctly in business. CMM Technology puts your business and its priorities first.

The Wealth of Sensates

Urine Drug Test

In Jungian psychology, “sensate” is a typology of four possible typologies. This particular trait perceives reality in a step-by-step basis, one moment at a time, with little or no regard for the past stretching in one direction or the future stretching in the other. The opposite of a sensate typology is an intuitive typology, which appreciates how processes and long timelines in both directions work and are created. Sensate typologies on the other hand are too engrossed with the task at hand to spend time on planning and all the perceived time wasters that intuitive are so fond of.

The wealth of sensate typologies comes from this belief in the moment. If you live every moment in the present tense, then you can accomplish a great deal because you are not constantly planning and plotting but never actually living in the present tense long enough to get anything done.

When your employees are focused and prepared for their work day, even intuitive and other typologies are able to get it together enough to live in the present moment and structure their days to fit their various personalities and ways of thinking. It is important to provide this structure for your workers, regardless of their typologies. This is where employee drug testing is most relevant. If you understand how much your workers need to work within a system, rather than being left to form separate and sometimes contradictory systems of their own, you would see that no one, if they knew about the alternative, would really have a problem with being screened for drug or alcohol abuse. While sensate typologies live in the moment, there is still a need to surround them with structure and reassurance of their safety and the safety of their coworkers. Adulterant tests built in to drug test kits is a great way to start, and an example of this is our Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6. We know that you want to leverage everything you have to get the most out of your employees without forcing them in any way. This is one of the ways in which you can build a safe, assuring environment for your workers. Identify and deal with any substance abusers.

The Time of Your Life

Alcohol Test

When you are going out for a good time in the evening, sometimes you will be tempted to break loose and truly have the time of your life. Sometimes, work and family and daily tasks can become so monotonous that you only want to have the time of your life and you don’t care who or what tries to stop you.

There is a reckless abandon in your thought process, and you are ready to delve deep in the world of partying, drinking, drugs, and celebration. You are ready to make like Bacchus and indulge in all of the revelry you can.

Remember to do two things while you are on your binging night out.

First, be sure and live it up, because tomorrow you will have to return to your normal days, and you will want to have got all of the celebration out of yourself before that begins.

Secondly, be sure to put guidelines in place to protect yourself and others while you are out on the town. Make sure there is a designated driver or that you have money for a taxi at the end of the night. Make sure that you drink plenty of water or tea so that you can avoid a hangover the next morning. And, if you are married, it would be wise to finish up the night with some food to soak up some of that alcohol for when you return home to your beloved. Either do that, or take them with you when you go out to party.

At the end of all of this, you have to be able to return to your steady, safe life, and you must be able to hold it steady for your family and yourself. If you don’t get everything out of your system, though, you may be tempted to return to your party lifestyle. “Whatsoever your hand finds to do…” you know. In retrospect, our decisions may seem genius or they may seem foolish, but a little bit of planning can at least make them sound.

Implement this little bit of planning in your own business, with CMM Technology and our love of workplace safety. Order our drug test equipment, like our Alere DDS2 saliva drug test, and breathalyser devices, like our Lifeloc FC10 Plus.

The Science of Art

Urine Drug Test

Okay, we know that not everyone is into art. After all, it takes a certain appreciation for the arts, the finesse, the style, and the form to be appreciative of art as a whole. However, it can be maintained that art is, in fact, more important than numbers, statistics, and all of those things we need to run a good business.

Monkeys can be trained to type and to enter numbers into a database.

What makes us human is our ability to raise our spirits above the complicated and sometimes discouraging messes which infuse our lives. We have things like inspiration and appreciation and innovative ideas and courage, which are all things which monkeys decidedly do not have.

Yes, numbers may be good for business, but art is what lifts our human spirits above the level of mammal and to a world of glittering stars, accomplishment, achievement, and recognition. Art is what raises us above the level of animal and connects us to the world of the gods, so to speak. The science of art can in some ways be considered the most valuable science there is.

Drug test equipment certainly does not inspire people to think of art in any way, but a well designed and functional drug test kit can produce similar feelings of satisfaction and appreciation in the user. You see, in all of our tools, we need both form and function. Drug test equipment, alcohol test, and even the system of our breathalyser recalibration service should meet your business needs so well that they fill a level of satisfaction in you that feels really good. Good products and good services give people satisfaction, perhaps not to the level of art, but if done well, it can at least be comparable. CMM Technology brings the evaluation of AOD to the jobsite easily and effectively through the use of our screening tests.

If you wish to place an order, then consider how much better our products are to any unreliable equipment you may be currently using. Come have your business needs fulfilled from the stores of CMM Technology.

The Plain Truth

Alcohol Test

Most people cannot handle the plain truth. This is not because they are weak or in some way criminal, but because we all smooth and manipulate the truth out in little ways in regular, everyday conversation in order to get what we want, help someone feel better, and get along with other people. It is called being polite.

Without this politeness or courtesy, the plain truth is very ugly, indeed. We are not used to such blatant honesty and our spirits are not used to hearing things so harshly broken down for our little ears. When we are unable to handle the plain truth, it has nothing to do with our ability to be good people or our ability to be around good things or people. It has to do with the fact that human nature itself seeks to present itself and other people in the best possible light, and therefore is able to make meaningful, positive connections with many people throughout the earth, since we all feel better when we dealt with approximately 80% honestly. We have the gist of the truth, and we know what the rest of the truth says, but we don’t actually want to hear it spoken out loud. This way, we are able to preserve our pride and dignity.

This is not the case with employee drug testing. You will need to know what is going on at all times. You will need to know which of your employees are abusing substances, if any of them are. You will need to know what sort of substance abuse they are engaging in, so that they can be screened for those in the future, if their employment is retained by you. The plain truth is harsh, yes, but very informative, and slightly less personal when reached by scientific fact, rather than by potentially subjective opinions from you or your staff.CMM Technology provides some of the finest quality drug test equipment in the nation. We provide NATA accredited breathalyser recalibration service. We provide saliva drug tests, like our Alere DDS2, our Oral Cube or OratectXP saliva drug test, as well as many other screening tests.

Thanks to the Sun

synthetic drug testing

Thanks to the sun, we have a lot of things which would ordinarily be hard to come by. In fact, the human body heals better in the sun than in a closed space. The human body can perform chemical actions in the sun which cannot be performed by any other method. Also, the sun increases serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain, thus making you feel a little drugged, a little woozy, and feeling very good, indeed.

Thanks to the sun, we have many benefits.

Unfortunately, people who abuse illicit substances, like drugs and alcohol, are less likely to spend time in the sun than those who do not. Why is this? When the mind and the body are starved for good nutrition and healthy states of development and being, then they become highly unbalanced, hoping for something good to come their way. In this respect, people actually hurt themselves more by searching for food among the starving, so to speak, rather than from the banquets of abundance just outside their door.

But, it’s a comfort thing. By the time you have reached drug abuse or alcoholism, stepping out into the sunlight, both figuratively and literally, is next to impossible. It is so far outside of your comfort zone, by that time.

Employee drug testing is uniquely enabled to help and facilitate businesses doing something about the above scenario. Your company may have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), or it may have various other steps to help employees quickly turn around so that they don’t lose their jobs, in the end. It’s a good thing to have these things in place. It shows that you put your workers and their health first. It’s not all about the bottom line. People are valuable. This attitude will, in turn, demonstrate to your employees how to treat clients well.

CMM Technology is accredited by NATA for breathalyser recalibration. We provide Alere DDS2 & Oral Cube saliva drug test, as well as other oral fluid drug tests. We also provide urine drug test and alcohol tests. If you are looking for a way to make sure that your employees are staying in the sun, so to speak.

Tender Loving Care

Urine Drug Test

There will be times in the operation of your business when all your employees need is a little pick-me-up which lifts their spirits and gives them hope for the future concerning their jobs and performance record. There will be times when all you have to do is listen well or give one or two small pieces of sage advice. All of this is great if that is all you have to do.

However, there are inevitable circumstances when the only problem is the substance abuse of one or more employees.

Will tender loving care fix this? Not exactly.

Many people believe that if they give an addict enough love it will fix the individual. It will not. In fact, you can really open yourself up to being stolen from, used and abused by the addict in order for them to live their abusive lifestyle and continue purchasing their drugs. The situation is dire if you let them in like this. You can love them. You can give them tender loving care. Just make sure that you have boundaries between you and them, unbroken boundaries, at all times.

Now, your business needs tender loving care and this is how you can express some of that desire to help someone or something out. If you take good care of your company, it will return the favor many times over. Do not allow employees to abuse substances in your workplace, and your assets will be protected from liability and fraud.

Of course, the natural thing to do at this point is to start looking at some onsite drug testing companies. For these services, you will need some high quality drug test equipment. That is why we, CMM Technology, are here. Oral fluid drug tests and alcohol breathalyser are common in businesses these days. Just make sure that you have the best kind. After all, if your equipment doesn’t measure up, then your employee drug testing program won’t measure up. Make sure that you buy the best, and we have that very thing. Be sure to check out our LifeLoc FC10 Plus breathalyser device when you are looking at our website.

Museums and Drugs

Urine Drug Test

Museums are places where you can…muse. We re not kidding. That is the entire purpose of a museum: to muse and reflect and contemplate, using the objects and art before you to inspire you to greater heights of mortal deliberation. After all, what is it to be human than to question our existence and the meaning of our individual lives? What could be more productive than the goals which we possess and in which we live at least eighty percent of our waking hours? To live in ones dreams most of the time, and to eventually make them into reality, is to be blessed with the time given ability to truly become a human being.

It is not enough to simply be born a human. It is only when we begin fulfilling our purpose in this world with as much will and knowledge as possible that we become fully human.

Employees of yours who abuse illicit substances may or may not realize that their behavior is killing off their humanity, little by little. We, as a species, were designed (or at least designed ourselves) to explore the world further and further, more and more. We know this about ourselves. But depressing into states of exhaustion because of our abuse of drugs or alcohol is to make ourselves less human over time.

In your business, you leverage knowledge, tools, and people in order to bring in wealth to your entire operation. However, if some of your workers are in this depressed state, they can influence the gullible coworkers around them. This is very important to prevent. Would you like to make use of NATA accredited recalibration services for your breathalyser devices? Would you like to be able to order and receive drug testing kits, as well as more alcohol test? If you said yes to any of those questions, then you need to find CMM Technology. Check out our website on here, and look at all of our different products. We want you to feel just as comfortable with our equipment as we do.

The Masks We Wear

Alcohol Test

Throughout our lives, we wear masks to cover up who we really are or to hide our true nature from specific people. Sometimes, this is meant to be devious, but a lot of times it’s a matter of not wanting to be criticized or being afraid of being criticized. We don’t want others to see the real us because if they do and openly judge us, then our very nature will feel judged and under pressure. Of course, if you have lived on this earth for have a century, you begin to truly not care if other people condemn you or not, but this can still be a hard pill to swallow. The problem is when employees who are abusing drugs wear these masks and seem trustworthy when in fact they are not. This is when employee drug testing begins to have a favorable light, even to their coworkers. It is nice to know where all the craziness and drama comes from. It’s nice to see what is really going on every once in a while. If the actions of a strangely behaving coworker are explained by drug abuse, then that makes our world seem just a little more sane.

Being fit for duty is important, and that is why breathalyser devices and drug testing kits are so popular, especially from CMM Technology. Employee drug testing is meant to be good and helpful to you, but also brings about a certain amount of reassurance to your employees. They know that, regardless of the mask that someone is wearing, if they do not pass their drug testing, their employment at their company may be limited. That makes everyone feel better in general, especially those of us who have worked or lived directly with an addict. It really takes the edge off of the stress when you know that products like our Alere DDS2 (with reader) saliva drug test will not be letting them down in accuracy. It’s nice to know that, regardless of personal opinion, science itself will not let them down. For further information, bookmark this site and check back regularly for any product updates, and give us a call to order today.

The Hard Losses and Steep Gains of Trial

Urine Drug Test

Every time you suffer through a trial, you are gaining and losing things at the same time. What exactly are you gaining, and what exactly are you losing?

 

In terms of gain, you are getting more and more life experience, and you are seeing the world through a better perspective. By gaining these life experiences, you are putting yourself in a position to make wiser and less trial-inducing decisions in the future. You are also gaining knowledge of what you are capable of, as well as gaining more and greater internal strength with which to deal with other trials. For example, you may easily find yourself in a position where you did not expect yourself to survive or to survive as well as you have. This gives you future reference of what you are capable of, what not to do in the future from your own perspective (we all know that the perspective of other people may or may not work for us), and you will develop stronger internal muscles, as long as you don’t have to use them consistently all the time.

After all, research has shown that people who deplete their internal strength reserves need some time to pass to recuperate those reserves before they will be strong enough to play the game again. This means that you are far more likely to do well in work, in school, at home, with your family, and in relationships if you have plenty of reserve from which to draw. And that means that you need to take breaks from stressful situations and allow those reserves to refill so that you can plunge back in and get the job done even better this time around.

If your employees are not able to get refueling of their reserves between work and home, they may resort to drug abuse or alcoholism while on the worksite, or they may show up intoxicated by one or the other.

CMM Technology gives you the ability to look at their records and make sure that this is not going on inside your workplace environment. We provide drug testing kits, alcohol test, like our Lifeloc FC10, and NATA accredited recalibration services for your breathalyser devices. Make sure that your employees are not exposed to additional stress from each other.

Off With Their Heads!

Drug Testing

In the globally popular children’s story, Alice in Wonderland, the fickle red queen is known to often shout, “Off with their heads!” It is, of course, meant to show the worse side of humanity and how shallow and fickle people can really be. If anything, it shows the conscious mind in people, whereas the rest of Wonderland depicts the subconscious mind, which works flawlessly if left alone by the conscious mind.

Some individuals can look at their employers and say the same thing about them. Some bosses have a reputation for being…well, not fair so much as self serving and highly disinterested in the affairs of others. This kind of neglect, with small amounts of dictatorship mixed in just for fun, really makes employees nervous and always in fear of losing their jobs.

Urine drug tests and saliva drug tests are sold by CMM Technology, in order to supply drug testing in Western Australia. Unfortunately, not every employer uses employee drug testing, but the better bosses really do want to protect both their businesses and their workers by using screening tests on a regular basis. For this purpose, we here at CMM Technology highly recommend our Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6, which is one of our urine drug test with an adulterant test built right in. These products protect your business in many ways, but mostly it protects employees and passersby from other workers and it protects your company assets.

Many businesses find that employees who seek to get past company policy and abuse substances while at work also attempt to get past the rules by embezzling or outright thievery, by the use of threats or bribes, and may even sell said drugs in the workplace, too. The whole matter is really sordid, and it should be avoided if possible. Employee drug testing helps you to make sure that all of your wonderful employees are busy doing their work instead of hurting themselves with substance abuse while on the job.

You are not a dictator if you use screening tests in the workplace. Any similarities with the red queen would only appear if you were disinterested in the welfare of your employees, which we know is not true.
