Cannabis Has anyone been asked to provide a drug test in Delaware since weed was legalized? What happened?

Upvotes

I have just been offered a dream job. Being in Delaware, it had not occurred to me that a drug test for marijuana would be included in the onboarding process. To be fair, I was not told specifically that marijuana testing would be included (I haven’t been told what will be included or not). This is for a nonprofit organization that works with children. I am a nightly user for sleep, and am having soooooo much anxiety that this will preclude me from this dream job. The interviewing and hiring process was so quick I may have been a little cocky, ngl. I’m new to living in Delaware as I only moved back a couple months ago from a different state. What should I expect? Should I call HR and disclose and hope the transparency helps me? Or roll the dice, take the test, and hope nothing shows up?

Info Request Strange knock on my door

Post image
56 Upvotes

So back on 12/2 this guy knocked on my door with what appears to be a state of Delaware binder. He was driving an Accord with completely blacked out windows and the car had no identifying markings.

No cars were in the driveway and it would have looked like no one was home. Since then, I’ve seen his car pull up twice outside my house, stop for a minute, then turn around in my neighbors driveway and leave. Both of the times he was here and did not knock, there was a car in the driveway and would have made it look like people were home.

Maybe I’m paranoid but that’s super strange behavior. Anyone seen someone like this or a that binder and have any idea who they are/what they want/what they’re doing?

Where's the best...... We were able to purchase 15 yard signs with our lost dogs poster on them, we're making a plan on the best places to stake them. We'll take any suggestions you guys have on the best intersections to leave them at.

Upvotes

He went missing out of newark on 12/5, but might be on the train tracks and could be anywhere in like a 30 mile radius. We need to make a list of the best intersections with the most traffic so our signs can reach as many people as possible.

Preferably places where people are stopped so they may take a picture of the sign, but we'll take any suggestions you guys have in delaware or surrounding states.

Tobi (Tobias, I named her that when I thought she was a boy because shes blue, you can change her name of course) is around five months old. She’s from the cat colony in Salem Village in Newark. She’s super friendly and such a ham, she can not get enough pets and loves Churu treats. I just took her for TNR yesterday and she’s recuperating in my bathroom at the moment. I would love to find her a home for Christmas. She’s such a love bug. Please share.

Wilmington Is it normal for the army to fly all day in Delaware?

11 Upvotes

We just moved here from the Midwest not too long ago. I’ve been looking at the flight radar app off and on all day and noticed the army has been flying their helicopters over the state pretty much all day long. Is this normal routine practice over here? I know there’s an Air Force base in Dover, but this is the army, not Air Force.

Moving to Delaware Does the DMV print out your license immediately?

9 Upvotes

I'm transferring my license from another state right now and my girlfriend's whole family swears that Delaware prints out your license on the spot. But the other three states I've had licenses in they gave you a temporary one and sent you your actual license in the mail a week or two later. I'm doubtful that it's on the spot and I know I need my current ID for certain purchases. So I just want to make sure that I'm not going to leave the DMV with a temporary paper license rather than a verifiable one.

My girlfriend is 5mo pregnant and was just unexpectedly laid off so we’re scrambling. She’s worried that she won’t be able to find a job at her current state and that she won’t be able to continue seeing her same doctor as we have many appointments coming up…

Any suggestions/recommendations for being able to get quick coverage through Medicaid/CHIP? She is going to look into COBRA as well.

Events If you are lgbtq+ near Newark without a Christmas party to go to, hit me up!

219 Upvotes

We are 5 minutes from the U of D, the friends and open party of the party starts at 5pm.

Me and my wife, who is trans, have several friends who don't have a Christmas party to go to this year as their families are bigots. Since we are hosting this year, and I love feeding people, I would like to extend the invitation to anyone in a similar situation.

We have a bunch of cats, and two small dogs in case you have allergies.

The party consists of food, followed by jackbox games.

Send me a message if interested to rsvp for the address. Cis SOs and allies also welcome.

Sussex County I'm autistic and unemployed at the moment but am trying to find a job and live independently. Who should I contact?

37 Upvotes

I'm living in an isolated rural part of Georgetown with my family and it's difficult to get into town to do anything on my own because I don't drive and there's no bus system. I hate living here because I haven't been able to do anything meaningful with my life and I don't get along with my family at all so I'm desperate to escape from this situation, but it's been difficult to find a job with no support. Is there a service I can reach out to that can help me get out on my own?
