2:18pm 25 December 2023
On this date and time I clocked out of Walgreens for the very last time in my life. There are a lot of people I will miss working with. What I will not miss is the corporation. If anyone would like to hear me complain about Walgreens in private you can message me. But they…

Mobile Games and Art
What was the last thing you did for play or fun? I play video games every day. I some are on the PC but a lot are just on my cell phone. I’m not good at having fun. I beat myself up over those because I’m not being more “productive” with my time. I’m doing…

Pharmacy is Done
