So, on my day off, I am sitting in Starbucks waiting for my DM to discuss the issues regarding my staff pharmacist. Isn't that great? How the fuck am I ever going to get this time back?
That's how (stupidly) dedicated I am. Granted, my store is in the middle of nowhere and we're lucky if we get a visit every 2 months from the DM, and she's impossible to track down on the phone, and when I can track her down via phone, well, if you've worked in a pharmacy you know just how easy it is to have a private conversation in there (Ha!).
I'm hoping something comes of this. I'm hoping they get rid of the loser we have and trade him in for the guy I wanted to hire, and she (said) she wanted to hire, but the suits turned down for whatever reason.
I think dedication will be the death of me. It's what makes me good at what I do, but it's what is going to turn all my hair white before age 30 too. It is what is going to make me literally bite a piece of someone's head off in the next 2 weeks if he makes another lame as excuse about anything.
Is it wrong to hold people to the same standards as I hold myself? I know it may be stupid to think they will actually live up to them, but, is it wrong? I don't know how to expect anything else. I don't know how to not-give a shit.
I'm constantly reminded of how unimpressed I am with the human race, how hive minded, consistently selfish and remarkably childish they are. Not that I'm not selfish- I totally am, and believe that everyone is (though many refuse to admit it to themselves), but I am surprised at which ways people are incredibly selfish. Little things that people just don't bother about or consider:
One of my techs got into a major car accident, but managed to escape unscathed. This happened when leaving work. They couldn't manage to call anyone (and even then, didn't bother to call the pharmacy directly, they called the store) until 17 minutes before their shift was to start the next day. It would have been nice had he thought of his co-workers and informed us so that we might have made other arrangements.
Just simple shit like that. That's reasonable, that shows you have some degree of character and the ability to be considerate of others when it won't directly effect you. I'm tired of all the gooey good shit that people do only being the things that they can take credit for and look good in the eyes of others. I don't give a shit if you sponsor some orphan in Africa if you can't keep your dog from shitting in my yard (or won't pick it up when they do).
