40 hours of free labor

Wow, I haven't posted in ages. Anyway, a lot have happened since then. I passed by 2nd semester (yay!) Now, I'm barely passing 3rd semester :-(

Oh, also, along w/ 3rd semester comes something called "Early Experiential Rotation." It's pretty much 40 hours of free labor at a random community pharmacy. I guess it's kinda nice for ppl who've never worked in the pharmacy before. Well, for those of us, who is currently working, it kinda sucks. I'm already pulling 16 hours a week at my other paying job. Somehow, I have to fit 40 hours into my schedule? Oh btw, I need to do 20 hours before midterms. (Which is in...3 weeks). Yeah, so it was freakin' hectic last week as I was trying to figure out my schedule. Also, the 2 organizations that I'm a part of are both demanding my attention. Man, I might have to quit one of them. I don't want to though, 'cause it seems like I'm betraying the one that I'm quitting.

Anyhow, despite my ranting, I actually learn stuff from the 40 hours of free labor. Now I know how to take phoned-in prescriptions, process phoned-in refills, and do transfer (that, I learn from my paying job, but I think my preceptor would have made me do it anyway). Yeah, the other day, the preceptor told the techs and clerks that I'd be answering all the phone calls. No one is to answer the phone but me. So, I got stuck w/ telling ppl of the hours, whether their prescription is ready, and the actual pharmacy stuff that I was supposed to kno hahah. That's cool though. At least I got over the fear of answering the phone. Dude, I actually answered the phone at my job today. That was really surprising :-O

Oh yeah, I've been playing this game called F.E.A.R. It's freakin' scary as heck. I screamed so many times during the game. Too bad I won't be playing much of it for a while :-(

btw, I think I'm gonna make a pharmacy-related game. I know, it's nerdy as hell, but dude, I love gaming. And hey, why not make it pharmacy-related. That way, I can use pharmacy in what I really like hahahaha.

Hmm...maybe I'll start out by making a sig game for all the poor pre-pharms. Man, I can't believe all those sig abbreviations are like 2nd language to me now. When I was a freshman, I didn't think I would have remembered them all.
