my job
I work in retail. Do vaccinations, prescribe minor ailments etc. I enjoy my job. I have no aspirations to change. It can be very busy but I only have to be faster than the slowest employee. Maximum effort always is the mantra, whether there's one or one thousand people waiting. Retail is tough but I've learned to give people what they want if I can. It's not my money. I've also learned time management, I estimate real times to fill rx'es, not hero times or this guy is an ahole times, unless it brightens the tech's moral. I can't remember a complaint against me. I've made errors, not pleasant, but I have insurance. I ignore other pharmacists who subscribe to the less I fill, the less errors I make philosophy. These pharmacists live in fear. I like the customers/patients, most are excellent people. Management is often out of step but they carry the companies vision and the company pays me. Lastly, I keep up. I see real rx'es for real conditions. It leads to engagement and fulfillment. Keeping up also shrinks delays searching for information, while 30 people are staring wondering what's taking their rx so long...

Seldom follow your passion with respect to work, but always bring itwith you.
ReplyDeleteRight now management wants more CEQ, customer service, efficiency and quality, with less pay. Who doesn't right. How? By bringing in a "better" computer system, "improving" workflow and now finally threatening layoffs. It's really kind of funny.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, Milli, not getting what you want is a bigger thing than getting it. Maybe not for you, but for others. And this is why you are special. Because you have affected others by what you cannot do. It hurts to see that but this pain will encourage someone one day to stop this condition such that any little girl anywhere will be able to do a thing most of us take for granted. God speed. We'll see u on the other side.
