In order to qualify as a part-time pharmacy technician I must first prove that I’m not likely to make off with any of the drugs for recreational purposes. It is for that reason that I found myself back at the lab where that very wet fire drill occurred earlier this week. Fortunately the weather was…
*sigh* So this is what it comes to. I got the part-time CPhT job at Big Chain Pharmacy. The pharmacist who hired me had basically decided he was hiring me before he even saw me. He asked me no personal questions and gave me little more than a quick run-down of the job description. If…
I mentioned in January that I had returned to Weight Watchers. I needed to get serious about the “Pity Party” weight I had put on since getting laid off. I’m not there yet, but I have lost 25 pounds, which means I’m closer to where I need to be than where I used to be….

Given my druthers I tend towards the cool colors, so working with warm, earthy tones is a bit of a new experience. I particularly was hoping to come up with something that would approximate an…

“It’s not an age – it’s a speed limit.” – My friend, Dr.Something-Less-Than-Twenty-Cats, after she reached a similar milestone not all that long ago.
