So bad it is funny...

This past weekend I went to see my girlfriend, spent the night with a friend from college, then spent Sunday at church and at my girlfriends place. Just before I left, my parents (who had an idea where I was going) told me that after one month of prayer this was not God's will. That was one day after my birthday. What a feeling, they celebrate my birthday, and to honor them I postponed spending my birthday with my girlfriend, then the next day they are back to their old position. I have told them time and time again to meet with her pastor, or my pastor...they refuse to do so.

It is hard, but our relationship is stronger than ever...

Meanwhile, at the pharmacy...

The two full-time pharmacists have left and we are short on people. Things are really really bad. They just don't have people, and the floater pharmacists that come in are steps away from retirement, and they simply can't do it all. The other day was the worst day I have ever worked there. It was so busy and there were so few people working that we couldn't anwer the phones! For several hours we didn't answer the phones. We closed the drive through, because there were no people to staff it. People made multiple trips for the same prescription. And the lines of people...waiting for prescriptions which are essential. Right now, the pharmacy is closed. There are stacks of prescriptions waiting to be filled. The drugs that came in on Monday have yet to be unpacked and placed on the shelves. It is laughable

Well at least most of them can see that we are doing our best. I hope they see that it is the corporate failures that have led to this. They worry about the bottom line, and saving money, and cutting hours left and right, and then people want to leave. Then there is no one to fill the vacant positions because they are paying less that the competition. Things will improve, but it will take a long long time...I wonder if I should stay...

There are substitute teacher positions available...

And I have to study...not even sure if I can finish the exams for next year...but I gotta try my best...................

Sorry to hear that about your parents. But, if you know that God has spoken to you and her and told you that you should be together, then no one else's opinion really matters, right? It's tough though, I know.

That must've been a crazy day at work! Hopefully the customers were understanding. I could see how that would be stressful for everyone!
