wasted days

The last two days have been beautiful, but I spent them piddling around the house and reviewing a study guide on immunizations. Tomorrow it's off to work for back to back 13 hour shifts.......followed by a 9 hour on Sunday. Then Monday it's off to Vegas!

11 hour days of CE await me in Sin City. I'll do my Presleyterian duty and eat big every night though. No shows, no titty-bars, just class and yucking it up with some co-workers. And I'll still be putting in 35 hours at the pharmacy this week.

The store manager called me today wanting to know why I had taken 40 hours of vacation when I had worked that week. I explained to him that I have to cash out vacation and NOT take the time off because there is nobody to cover it. I don't think he understood it though. The people in the store live in a world of 15 minute breaks and daily lunches. The last time I had a job where I got scheduled 'breaks' and a lunch on was in 1984. Maybe they should all try 13 hours straight on there feet. On about half of my shifts the only time I sit down is when I take a crap! And the only place you can eat in the pharmacy where you can't be seen by people is.......you guessed it......the bathroom. Which is where I eat half the time.
