Halfway through October, and I’m still wondering where September went. Today is the first day this month I’ve looked out the window and seen anything resembling autumn. A storm front came through yesterday, bringing with it periods of high winds. A few leaves in the trees, up to now reluctant to release their grip on…
As odd as it sounds, one of my favorite responsibilities of my relatively new profession is pretty mindless. I can fall into the rhythm of pill counting and lose myself to the patterns of circles and ovals for as long as the scripts to fill hold out (or other obligations fail to intrude). I’m somewhat…
Quote from my last entry: I told him firmly twice not to do anything about it, making the point that this was just a residual problem that hadn’t been caught during last week’s scheduling shake-up and that I doubted it would happen again. Yeah, well … I’m a moron. Of course it happened again. The…
I showed up for my appointed shift this morning at 9:00 am. The Senior Technician was already there. Her first response: “I was afraid of this.” We both looked at the schedule, and it was my name on from 9:00-4:00. Both she and the Head Pharmacist said that was an error. Senior Tech said, “Well…

I suppose it was bound to happen. I showed up at work this morning, only to find out that I missed a schedule change; the Head Pharmacist taken me off the work schedule and given me the day off. I actually had yesterday and today free. This completely bums me out, because glass-working camp was…
Part 1: Short Stories I’ve been going through my “library” of science fiction books, looking to reread old friends that I haven’t visited in too long a time. I’ve read Holdstock’s Mythago Wood, which was a more difficult and intricate read than I remembered. I’ve worked my way through LeGuin’s Earthsea books, and have just…
Thursday I discovered a BIG mistake at The Pharmacy while doing an audit of the scripts waiting to be picked up. It is a mistake I made once in the first few weeks of my employement, and one that I thought I’d been taking particular care in avoiding making again. Of course, finding the error…

Definitely today. Unfortunately, I’m slated to attend a continuing education conference today, so I’m probably going to miss the unveiling. Hopefully The Prof will get to see it though.
