Mixing Up the Beat

Saliva Drug Test
Saliva Drug Test
If you have a day-to-day job which requires a lot of repetitive work but enough mental thinking for it to not be a mechanical skill then you probably have had a lot of burnout in your past. You probably have found it to be much easier to just hate your job, and just perform the daily beat, the daily grind, all of the time when you are at work.

It’s time to mix up the beat.

Don’t go out and make huge changes in your life or your work, because that can lead to your boat being a little too tossed about the waves for your own comfort. But, by all means, make a list of all of your daily activities and, except for the activities which must done in a certain order, simply put them in a random list on your computer desktop. Then, highlight the cells or squares next to them in your Excel or other type of computer spreadsheet. As you do your tasks, simply fill in the colored cell with a slightly different color. That way, you know when you’ve done a task, but you are still mixing up the beat and do not have to bring your schedule to an incredibly dull place just because you are still doing the same activities every day.

Onsite drug testing is part of cooperation between your employees and your business as a whole. They allow themselves to be screened, and your business identifies and potentially gets rid of anyone who is abusing substances in the workplace, thus endangering the physical safety and mental stability of everyone in the workplace environment.

When you are using the NATA accredited breathalyser recalibration service from CMM Technology, as well as the drug test equipment, you are making sure that your employees are fit for duty, and that is an important responsibility to have. This doesn’t happen often enough throughout the year to be considered monotonous, and therefore may not require any mixing of the beat in this area, but if you need it, then it would be recommended to simply change out types of drug testing kits or alcohol test when you order from us in the future. We have enough inventory to readily make this possible.

Miracles Happen Every Day

Urine Drug Test
Urine Drug Test
Miracles are something which we tend to give religious significance. However, whether or not you are religious, miracles are still an everyday occurrence, by every definition of the word. It is a miracle that humans, being as unpredictable and changeable as we are, can coexist in a society in which we may or may not even feel comfortable or accepted.

It is a miracle that people who work together cannot see even blatantly obvious signs of drug or alcohol abuse in their friends, but can imagine unrealistic faults in their enemies. It is a miracle that we can work together under these circumstances, for long periods of time, without incurring huge social penalties for these thoughts and feelings.

It is a miracle that we have developed intricate and highly complex technology and information to help account for and explain various phenomena, and that we still are unable to answer questions about the meaning of life itself, when we live in and among and around life every day.

It is a miracle that today’s society is fraught with danger and safety, goodness and malice, creative and destructive properties, and that people still have optimistic hopes for the future and see the world as a much better place than it may statistically be. At CMM Technology, we believe miracles are just a part of human life and existence. Leaving religion completely out of the discussion, we can see how even the small actions of one person can have far reaching and powerful consequences in the lives of a lot of different and unrelated people. 

Please invest in us. Our individual breathalyser recalibration services are NATA accredited. Our drug test equipment, from the alcohol test to the saliva and urine drug tests, are fine quality and available for your perusal on our website and purchase. We know that even if you believe that miracles don’t happen every day, you are still in an important position in your company, and that it is your job to make sure that your employees are well taken care of.

Management Styles and Free Choice

Alcohol Test
Alcohol Test
We all have different management styles and we all manage different things. However, all of these styles and components can essentially be categorized into three different categories. For example, if you are easy going and go with the flow, then you interact with your people or circumstances, but keep the relationship balanced. If, however, you are a bit of a control freak, then you probably find yourself being more influential on your environment than your environment is on you!

When that happens, remember that everyone falls into one of these three areas.

First, we have the controller. This person often feels out of control of a situation, and so they exert almost an unreasonable amount of dictation over other people and they heavily control their surroundings.

Second, we have the engager. This individual interacts with their surroundings, but keeps the balance pretty equal between themselves and other people and outside circumstances. They are good at engaging with people and they are good at interacting with their environment. These are usually the most gregarious people, and they are usually pretty popular, too.

Third, and last, we have the non-committer. This person is so against interacting with their environment and against having any sort of responsibility toward other people that they are usually the most independent and the least able to get close to people out of the group. Because they keep such distance between themselves and other people, they often come across as the most professional. But because this attitude goes pretty deep within them, people who want to become closer friends or to date them often find this to be impossible.

CMM Technology recognizes that, in reality, it is all about free choice. Anyone can abuse anything and anyone else, but it has to be the free choice of both parties, and they have to take responsibility for their substance abuse. Drug test equipment will help you know who this applies to and who it doesn’t apply to. We provide urine drug test, alcohol breathalyser devices, and saliva drug test, along with our breathalyser recalibration service. To place an order with us, or to find out more about our products.

Happily Ever After, Right?

Saliva Drug Test
Saliva Drug Test
We all go through changes throughout our lives, changes which affect the kind of people we are and which affect our mental habit loops. If you recall getting married in the beginning, you probably expected to be the same person you were then, for the rest of your life. You probably saw yourself then as the model for your future self.

However, that is not very realistic, is it? You see, when you get married, your whole world changes and you become a different person purely by the act of being one with and living closely with someone else. You change. You grow. You evolve. But, it is very important to note, that change can be good and bad.

When you began your business or began working for your business, you had a goal in mind. You had a mission to accomplish. You were going to make a company that reflected you as a person. It reflected your dreams, your goals, and your mission in life. This business was to take everything that could be produced within your company, make them as high quality as possible, make enough of them to satisfy market demand, and sell your products or services to as many people as possible.

But, I’m betting that you changed as a person, too, right? You probably underwent a major growth cycle, learned a lot that you didn’t know before, and became better grounded in who you are as a person and what kind of company you wanted to create and maintain.

Well, in business, you have to make sure that you can rely upon your employees just as much as you rely upon yourself. This necessitates the use of employee drug testing on a regular basis. This means that you need good drug test kits and breathalyser devices! Well, CMM Technology has everything you need in one website, complete with NATA accredited breathalyser recalibration. We provide you with all kinds of drug tests and alcohol test, and we really hope to change your business for the better.

Being on the Wrong Side of the Law

Alcohol Test
Alcohol Test
It has often been said, especially fifty years ago, that “once you go bad, you can never go back.” This statement arose as a conscientious acknowledgment of the fact that once people are on the wrong side of the law, they don’t often feel as if they can just erase their past by continuous good behavior. In other words, they think that one bad deed defines which side of the track they should live on, and that many multiple good deeds may or may not even make a difference to their record.

It is this mentality of always being bad and never being good enough which has kept many people in the criminal game for many years. What would you do if you knew that you had all of the power in the world and could do anything you wanted, both good and bad? Chances are, you’d happily settle for peace, contentment, strong family relationships, and having enough to eat every day. But, this is not the mentality that people in poverty or first or second time criminals possess. Rather, they believe that somehow they have crossed over an invisible line which then rises up and acts as a barrier to going back to the other side, the good side.

Of course, logically speaking, this is nonsense, but people are not logical, nor are they rational. Mental habits are something very powerful and we always act in accordance with our established mental habits. In fact, if anything seems to be threatening a habit of ours, we are more likely to pick the lesser option, but the option which most coincides with our habitual process.

This is what happens when employees bring drugs or alcohol to the workplace, even if they just show up drunk or high. They are breeding a different mental habit among the working population. They are breeding the habit of fear and loss and emptiness. Make sure your own workers are not “misbehaving” in this way. Use high quality drug test equipment from CMM Technology to get the scientific truth from them, and make sure that you also have your alcohol breathalyser devices recalibrated with our NATA accredited recalibrations services.

Beauty and Surprise

Breathalyser
Breathalyser
Beauty is such an elusive thing. You have to be in the right mood before the ugliest thing in the world will appear beautiful to you, and if you are in the wrong mood, then even exceptionally beautiful objects or people can seem to be plain and unsatisfying to you.

Beauty is subjective. No one agrees upon what is beautiful, though many studies have been made into fine art, the human body, landscapes, brilliantly colored sunsets, and metallic abstractions. These studies seek to find a “universal beauty” in both art and sculpture, in both music and dance.

When we are surprised by art or music in a pleasant way, it is often wondered, deep within ourselves, why we didn’t think of it before. It is as if you are actually remembering the piece of music or the painting from a long, long time ago, rather than experiencing for the first time. It is as if your soul has already seen that piece of art or heard that music, and is just now seeing it again, after many thousands of years.

Many ancients have spoken of the fact that all art and beauty actually is within us, and that the human soul has every beautiful thing in the world inside of it. When we see this art in the physical world, we have already seen it, deep within our souls, and appreciate the perfect rendering of the original memory.

It is not good to have an unpleasant surprise when your business, coming together as a whole, takes on the form of being out of control. That happens when substance abuse enters the company environment. Workers are negatively affected by their own abuse and by the abuse of fellow workers. Therefore, you must know about these conditions. You must know if and when your employees are abusing illicit drugs or alcohol while at work. Then, you must know about the drug test equipment offered by CMM Technology. It is really important to remember our Rapid STAT saliva drug test or Lifeloc FC10 alcohol test when you are looking for high quality drug test equipment.

Take A Step Back

Breathalyser
Breathalyser
Urine drug test and saliva drug test, personal breathalyser devices, and recalibration services are all a part of keeping your business happy, healthy and well managed. Now, when you begin to work with CMM Technology, or simply place orders with us on a regular basis, you will learn that we take particular pride in our products, and that we know how important accuracy is to you.

You will also learn, in your course of drug testing and alcohol screening, that your employees have private lives away from their work, and that you do not always know what is going on with them. Their personal lives can include anything from dealing with death, to going back to college, and from dealing with a broken relationship, to dealing with new children.

Everyone has a life which may seem overwhelming to them, but we all deal with our lives in very different ways. If you take a step back, and evaluate the whole picture, rather than zeroing in on a small detail, you will be able to read patterns in your workers and in your business which will give you even more information than you have right now.

Taking a step back is, therefore, very important. If you know how to do this on a regular basis, then you can make decisions for the greater good, both for detailed situations and as part of an overall plan. Drug test equipment must be up to snuff (ours is very high quality) and you must get your equipment from a reliable source, like CMM Technology. There really is no way around it. If you want to have access to a good business which provides good drug testing kits, then check out CMM Technology and our DDS2 saliva drug test. There’s nothing more to it.

Once you have taken this first step, all you have to do is just keep your drug testing program and relax about the results you receive back. They will be quick, efficient, accurate, and helpful to your business operations. After all, everyone wants to know the kind of people with whom they work every day.
