2 More Weeks!

It didn’t last long. I fell asleep last night before writing this. I will be better.

Yesterday, I was on the floor on the DME side. I really haven’t had high hopes for a good experience up front, other than the fact that the employees are really fun to be around (a couple of them). So a new person started. She was doing a lot of training, so not much time on the floor, but she boasted about having all this experience with most of the stuff they carry here, so she seems promising. Anyway. I sat in on a compression sock fitting for a girl that was 8 and 1/2 months pregnant. She was really nice though. She is a nurse practitioner, so she understood how insurance works, which is honestly refreshing. So many times people come into a pharmacy with a prescription from their doctor and when we run it and it’s not covered, they’ll say something like, ‘well why would my doctor write me a script for this then?’ Some people live clueless and under a rock.

Moving on, had a few more interactions with people on the floor and sat in on another fitting. This was an older woman who has been getting the runaround from a few surgeons. The poor woman had this one bulging vein and the first doctor she saw said she didn’t need surgery, and the second one wants her to wear the compression for 3 months and reassess. The woman had really done research and was aware of her medications. She then asked me some pharmacy questions, which I surprisingly knew the answers to! The tech I was with said how happy she was that I was in the room with them because I was able to help. It was a really positive interaction and I am happy about that! As I was getting ready to leave, I stopped by the boss’ office just to double check if we were having a meeting Wednesday morning since he is not there on Tuesdays. When we talked last week at the meeting, we discussed not doing a meeting due to the holiday week. We never really got a for sure answer, because that’s just how he is. So he proceeded to call the marketing guy that made me stuff envelopes last week and was like, ‘Monica was under the impression we aren’t having a meeting this week...what did we decide?’ Seriously?! Throw me under the bus much?? That really pissed me off. But the outcome was no meeting. So yay.

So I left around 5:15 to catch the 5:30 train home. Train ride home was mundane and then I got home and just felt really blah. I began a diet today, and was still full from lunch by the time I got home. I played around on social media for a while and sat there feeling sorry for myself because this dude ghosted me. I sometimes feel like I’ll be single forever. Oh well. Guess I’ll just stumble on home to my cats. Thanks, Taylor. But I ended up not being hungry, so I took a shower and went to bed. Of course I did not get things from my checklist done that I needed to, but here we are.
