Wednesday Workday Whining

Morning, folks. I woke up chilly and worried the heater was broken again. Turned out I had both turned it down really low and left a window open, and it was simply cold. Nothing a cup of coffee won’t fix.

I was pleasantly surprised when DayTech came in for her shift yesterday. She was very happy to be back at work and not stuck in the house with the family all day. We were very happy to have her back instead of fill-in techs. MusicMan has a fill-in helping him tonight, because NewTech is still out.

StressedRPh broke the news to DayTech about the pharmacy hours changing in a few weeks. StressRPh is worried, and rightly so. The pharmacy manager is required to work a certain number of hours per pay period, which is why StressedRPh and BossRPh had a split day with a 3-hour overlap in their shifts. Now, if they cut 18 hours from the pharmacy schedule, and MusicMan isn’t losing any of his own hours, there’s a good chance StressedRPh won’t be able to make the required 30 hours every week to keep her benefits. MusicMan said other pharmacists in the same predicament will pick up extra hours at other stores. unfortunately, if this is a change happening across the district, then there’s less hours for everyone, and it would be difficult to pick up hours elsewhere.

I’m really hoping my passport comes in and I can leave this place.

But, today is Wednesday. I forgot to mail one of the eBay auctions yesterday, and I’ll need to stop at the post office this morning. Last night wasn’t the greatest, mostly because I got caught up in my head over some frustration with well-meaning family. I can expect a phone call from Shawshank tonight, and I need a little goodness to look forward to. I’m hoping I’ll have some time between dinner and Shawshank‘s call to do a workout.

Oh well. Let’s refill the mug and put some makeup on. Have a good Wednesday, my friends.
