Don't worry - we've consulted someone and the required processes are being followed. I just honestly couldn't believe it and because of the content of some of the emails, I just wanted to see if anyone knew what that one thing was.

It wasn't even spying! I had to work at her desk because she was away (she has programmes that I don't because I don't really need them) and I needed to use her email etc and lo and behold! Aside from the fact that I knew she was emailing flat out, it's the content that would turn your hair white!

well - E lasts about 4-6 hours. LSD trips last about 6-12 hours but then they might take more when they have peaked after 3-4 hours. Then they might get insomnia etc

I know for drug testing P only can be detected within 24 hours...yet marijuana can be up to 2-3 weeks depending on use.

I'm having a wee employee issue. The term 'slash' keeps coming up in a particular context in emails etc ... After reading, re-reading, and re-reading again 10 times, I think I may have it a bit wrong though, and 'slashing' and 'slash' are somehow tied in to a particular loose lifestyle ... hard to know!! The drug thing is definite though, I'm just trying to dig it out properly. I'm sooo unused to this sort of thing! v. proud of myself though - knowing what Eckies are. And, if someone has been up 4 days straight without food etc, then said someone is probably on LSD or P - right? Could be party pills though I suppose ...

i googled and the only thing i could find was this..

At the recent annual gathering of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, which 27,000 cancer specialists attended, much of the news coverage focused on the new "targeted therapies" and much of the talk in the hallways on the astonishing prices drug companies are charging for them. For years, we've been hearing about the "magic bullet" drugs that will expand cancer treatment beyond the long-standing triad of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy (often derisively called slash, burn, and poison). A few of these new drugs have won FDA approval and come to market, but the prices are so high that many patients who might benefit will not get them.

Probably not what you wanted but it was the only thing that came up!!:) ]]> Mon, 29 Oct 2007 10:12:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11861&PID=237326&title=what-is-slash#237326 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11861&PID=237318&title=what-is-slash#237318 Author: ginger
