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…

A Career Path
What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? I don’t think I have a career path and never have. I’ve had jobs and a lot of them have been customer service. Is that a career? I don’t know. Walgreens feels like a vehicle I’m riding in and not a final destination. Caregiving…

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…

Day of Rest (Kinda)
I got up and went to church this morning. Both Sacrament and Gospel Doctrine Class kept me engaged most of the two and a half hours that I was there. I’ve got some good friends in the church. If my wife were to die they would bring the boys and I food until things got…

Noon on Tuesday
I have to go to pharmacy in a couple of hours. But I’m still in my pajamas. On the theory that I should dress for the job I want pajamas are my first choice. But my Walgreens “uniform” is pretty close to my day clothes. I’m more colorful on the days I don’t have pharmacy…

Weekend “Off”
I don’t go into Walgreens this weekend. That means I have more time to work with the kids. That’s not really a free weekend but I don’t have many responsibilities past keeping them regulated. Sometimes I need regulation too. When I was working on the sales floor at Walgreens it was usually very regulating. If…
