Drugs & Alcohol On The Job and Random Drug Testing: Astronauts & The Office

OK - so we've all heard or read from the news today about the astronauts that few the space shuttle while drunk...

This is obviously something we didn't want to hear but we do know that NASA is acting quickly to address the problem.

I found a couple articles on CNN - here and here...

Here's is a report that gives some findings from the NASA Astronaut Health Care System Review Committee. It includes data from findings done from February 2007 to June 2007...

Hopefully, going forward, we'll start to hear fewer and fewer examples of stories like these involving astronauts - we still want our kids to continue to dream of becoming an astronaut one day. This also means that we need more and more astronauts being painted in a positive light as a good role model and someone to look up to.

But, since I'm a huge fan of "The Office", I couldn't help but think back to the episode when a joint is found in the parking lot of Dunder Mifflin. Dwight decides to question all of his co-workers and we get to see Michael as he takes an opportunity to speak to all of his employees about drugs - we also learn his definition of random drug testing...

Enjoy.
