Waiting My Turn
In a busy pharmacy with a busy pharmacist I find myself on occasion waiting for him to finish what he is doing. I stand quietly until I’m noticed. It is a chance to breathe. It works better with some and not well at all with others. My hovering can be a little disturbing I suppose.…

Away from Walgreens
I am starting to really dislike working in the pharmacy. The position I have with Walgreens is as a “designated hitter.” The idea behind it is that my primary duties were to remain on the sales floor and be available for pharmacy during times of exceptional need. The thing is that during vaccine season exceptional…

Sausages
It is two o’clock in the morning here. I woke up after three hours of dreamless sleep. Now I’m not tired. I have Pharmacy today so I need to go back to bed. I already took an extra Trazadone to get to sleep the first time so that’s our. It’s too early in the morning…

Relaxing after Pharmacy
Tonight wasn’t too bad. I had issues with insurance as I usually do. I spent an hour on drive thru. And then I counted pills for the end of my shift. I still don’t think I’m very good at the front register, and I know I need a lot more practice filling prescriptions, but as…

Isolated but not Lonely
I have a lot of friends but they do not visit me. In their defense I don’t visit them either. I don’t drive so it’s not particularly practical to walk all over the city considering the responsibilities I have at this point in my life. So I go to Walgreens to feel connected to the…

I worked all summer to buy a Commodore 64 and all the externals to make it worth having. Before that and as computers were becoming…

Day Four
It’s day four of a house full of COVID. I have been alternating between calling it quarantine and lockdown. Everyone seems to be doing a little better. I’m not as tired and achy. But my throat still hurts and my taste buds are way off. I took some migraine meds for my head and an…

J.O.B.
I’m starting to dread my job. It’s just a few hours a week and the money is the most I’ve ever earned. Still I’m not enthusiastic about those hectic evening shifts. I don’t really want to quit either. I like my coworkers and know that losing a body in the busiest season will make their…

Artificially High
Between the dopamine the sugar and the caffeine I’m in a really energetic mood today. I declined an extra pharmacy shift because real life is hard. I’ve made art and as you can see I’m blogging. I even got up the energy to cook actual food. My wife asked how I was doing and I…

COVID Vaccines
Tonight I had the option of staying on pharmacy drive thru my whole shift. I don’t normally appreciate that but today was the first day the new COVID vaccine was available at our store. I am slow at registering people for shots and our pharmacy was absolutely swamped. So I stayed on drive thru instead…
