Advocates for drug testing say the practice increases office safety and employee accountability. However, as opponents like my college roommate Jacob “Steaky” Counts always said: “They’re just trying to ruin my good time!” Dr. Day Shift is here to give you a quick guide to office drug testing.

Post-it notes. They're good for jotting down passwords, origami paper cranes, and insanely awesome office window art. Wait, did I just say "insanely awesome office window art"? Yes, I certainly did.

5 Simple Signs You’re Over Caffeinated
We’ve all been there. It is 3 p.m. Your appetite for food and blondes is only surpassed by Rosie O’Donnell’s, so you unwisely decided to eat nine slices of extra-cheese pizza at the restaurant down the street with the hot blonde waitress.

You reach for your quick-fix: the ubiquitous energy-booster of choice — caffeine. It’s the most frequently used psychostimulant in the world. In the medical profession, this ...
