I was out running so I wasn't able to answer and no message was left and I initially thought it may be them, mainly just out of me being nervous. Surprisingly not another call today though. I just want this whole process to be over, I just want to know one way or the other. Whoever thought of this whole hair testing for drugs I am not too happy with. Goodluck to anyone else going through this process, it is very stressful and just not a good time at all.

FYI:
They will only call you in the event that you test positive. They go over the testing panels in which they find you to be positive in whatever panels. So really you don't want to hear from them at all.
If negative, they will send results to employer or entity whom mandated you getting the test-they most likely will call you to tell you that you passed. If my memory serves me correctly, even if you call the testing center and ask if you have passed they cannot tell you (I know this is absurd).
Things may be looking good for you (although I don't want to give you false hopes) but "NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS" in this matter and trust me, you DONT want to hear from Quest directly, b/c if you do then it is most likely bad news. By law they have to contact you if you are found to be positive in order to find out if your testing positive is for a legit reason (Rx's prescribed by Doctor, etc) before they submit the results to the company who had you take it.
I know this ordeal takes it's toll on you but stick with it and know that every day that passes that you don't hear from them, the better
