another distraction to begin with. Let's see how this will eat up my time now along with facebook.
School is good. That light to get away from probation is getting closer and closer by the day. I'm glad that I've been consistent now with my grades. Initally at the beginning of the P2 year, I felt so out of place and questioned myself if I really do belonged in pharmacy school. I really am lucky that I was given another chance to continue along with my classmates. I didn't want to fall behind my class let alone be in the p1 class now. Don't get me wrong. There are a good amount of people in that class who I will help them get thru the pain I suffered last year, but there are a few of them that just complains all the damn time over the stupidest things in the world. Trust me, when they get to our level, they'll see why.
Work is decent. Same old customer yelling the crap out of you for some days and the other days where people freaking love my fast skills to get their stuff out of there too. It's getting more hectic now for sure since summer will start up again along with one of my staff pharmacists leaving to another store. it sucks cause it just puts more work on the techs and interns and defintely the big boss of the store. I know that i'll be in this position one day myself. Right now, i'm taking it all in: pain, the anger, the love, the understanding of the system, people, complains, compliments. I have to really develop a thick skin pretty fast or I'll get eaten alive out there.
This weekend was ridiculous. I worked Fri and Sat. Not only that, I went to 6th Thurs, Fri, and Sat. I barely started studying, but it was so worth to see people that I haven't seen in a long time. Even people in my class like vivian. I can see her like every once in a while, but we never had time to hang out til this past thursday just hanging out at the mall while she spends monies on shorts for the summer. Friday after work, dinner with the mentee and co for her birthday and then went to 6th stuffing 10 ppl in my car. Met up with everybody in the world. It was pretty cool to run into people again like I used to back in undergrad. What a dent my credit card took. SOO SADD. No more spending like that in a while.
I finally figured out my priorities now. School, study, work, friends, chill, relax. I'm glad everything is finally back to normal. Sigh, Back to studying/streaming. Until next time... | | |
| A couple of days ago, I was helping out this patient and I told her to go talk to her insurance company to see what was going on and to see if her plan was active or not. After she left, she calls and I pick up. She explained that her insurance is ok and that our system was jacked up. Then she goes, "I'm sorry, but are you that Oriental guy I talked to earlier?" I honestly didn't know what to say and I just kind of brush it off at the time for obvious reasons. She does look like she is from an, how do you say it, older generation. I told my boss and my co-workers, they were like..."WOW, really? She called you that?" I don't know if people really understand this, but Asian people are Asian and that our culture is Asian/Oriental. It's kind of insulting maybe upsetting to hear such things, but what can you do?

| i'm still in the training of my place. the computer stuff isn't too bad. i have a couple of days left to do the last portion, but overall, i kind of like it. i get paid which is a plus. OK normally, the thing to do to reinforce what you have learn is to either go over it or to physically learn it with real customers and such. Today, i went to the back to help out because it was near rush hour time and when all the customers flood in. There was this one lady that came in. As she was paying for her item, she started coughing when i started to scan stuff. I manage to get away from the first cough. As i continue to scan more of her items, she started coughing again, but this time it got to my face. I was so angry inside. Like really you can't cover your mouth. It was disgusting. After she left, i panic and wanted to get it off my face. The first thing i did was to use the HAND SANITIZER and rub it on my face. It was the first thing I saw when I was looking around. Strange as it sound, i think it might have killed whatever germs that were coughed on my face and my hands. gotta love that Purell
work is taking over my life for now. school will take over my life again in the fall, but for now, stay tune...
