~Good News!~
Remember last week how I told you guys I resigned from my job and how I was going on an interview later in the day? Well... I got the job! I briefly mentioned it on Update Thursday (as an explanation to how little my reading/writing status changed), but here's more about it...
I started on Tuesday and worked 5 days altogether this week. It's another pharmacy, but I'm discovering that my issues with pharmacy had more to do with policy and procedure at other stores. This new place is much more structured, and there's a lot more going on. They have their own way of doing things, so it's taking some getting used to, but I think I'm finally starting to catch on to the basics. Thank goodness! Everyone that works there is very nice and it's fun to work with them. So, I'm very optimistic about this place. I can't wait until I pick up on everything and don't have to ask about stuff all the time.
This next week I'm working the training shift all week again (I'll most likely be working the late shift most days), so my schedule is so off. I started to lose track of all my projects and it sorta got me a bit frustrated. Since I have tomorrow off, I'll be spending part of the day planning out the blog for October. I can't believe how behind I am on everything! I have posts and reviews to write and schedule. I was going to postpone my giveaway hop thing for awhile, but now that I have a job, I don't need to worry about that anymore. It'll probably go up tomorrow, so be sure to check it out so you can sign up!
Much love to all!

Congrats on the new job!! NICE!! My man always says working in a pharmacy would be the best job in the world. I have no idea where he got that from. I don't think he knows, either. Lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D Lol, it's not that bad, but it can get pretty stressful at times. I've grown immune to most of it though. ;)
DeleteI hope you get settled with your new schedule soon. Funny that we're both in the same boat right now, eh? I feel like I'm going to lose my mind this week - I have Logan Monday-Thursday + Saturday and Sunday, different times each day - really long, crappy hours - AND Canadian Thanksgiving is next weekend. I have no idea how I'm going to watch him, get re-started on revisions for The Game Changer, do the blog, shop, clean, and cook for Thanksgiving. Something's going to have to go, and I'm afraid it's Thanksgiving, which is one of my favourite holidays. *wah* Ugh. Maybe this would be a good time to run away and come visit you? lol
ReplyDeleteMe too! Oh man, that's a lot of days to watch him. Only Fridays off?! Gah! I hope you can manage to take care of everything. You still have a little bit more time for The Game Changer revisions, although I'm sure you don't want to wait too long to do it (I don't see how there can be too many things to revise in it though! ;) ).
DeleteYou could totally run away and visit me! That would be awesome! :D
Congrats on the new job! I hope you can make it through the training. I hate the first few weeks of a job.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope so too. It has been a little crazy, but I'm thankful for my previous training. It's helping me adjust. :)
DeleteCongratulations, Jess! I really hope that this new job works out great for you. It sounds like you're already off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteAnd. *hugs* Thank you for the shout-out!
